Events and News
Good afternoon, all, I hope you are doing well. A highlight this week was of course the VP of Instruction interviews. Thank you so much to those who attended the forums and are providing feedback for next steps. We very much appreciate your feedback!
Last week we were thrilled to host another Catalytic Converter (CatCon event) on campus. Through a partnership with Shoreline Police department our automotive department was able to paint and engrave the catalytic converters in 78 cars as a way to prevent theft. We would like to say a huge thank you to our students; Dylan, Felipe, Michelle, Jaeden, Ash, Colin and Christian, our employees; Mark Keith, Amber Avery-Graff, and Gary Fantozzi, and members of the Shoreline PD including Chief Kelly Park, Deputy Jurado, and Detective Kieland for working together to make this great community event happen.
On Wednesday, we held our monthly community check-in. We have been doing budget updates in these but are slipping this month since we have our new VP BAS and I wanted to give him some time to get acclimated. We will bring those back next month. I really appreciate everyone joining and contributing all of your questions and recognition of everyone’s great work. Bravo!
A couple items I was going to cover here I also mentioned at the forum. On Food Trucks—we have been getting some very understandable questions about the prices at some of the trucks. As I am sure you know “eating out” has been particularly challenging lately across the country (food trucks and all) and this is certainly true in the greater Seattle area. While we can’t have an immediate impact on the economic conditions of the region, Gayla Hocker reached out to see if they could find ways of packaging some more a-la-carte options and/or offering more some less expensive choices. I appreciate the concern being brought forward and we hope to have more permanent options in the future.
Speaking of which, we are still working to bring Black Coffee to campus. We discovered late in the game that our overall infrastructure was not as “plug and play” as we imagined in terms of plumbing/electrical and needs for equipment. We are working through that now and I will keep you posted. My apologies for the delay.
Another announcement was regarding the budget and budget adjustments and planning information (mentioned in the planning memo #1). The budget adjustments are still in process, and I hope to have these clarified and budgets loaded with that information ASAP. In addition, I will also explain the process for tracking area review goals (both within the area reviews themselves as well as across the college) – still working on both of these and they will get done and info shared as quickly as I can.
Looking forward to the Flamenco event this weekend!

Foundation and Advancement
The Giving Table: SCCF Annual Fundraising Luncheon
The SCCF annual fundraising luncheon happens on November 3! This year’s event will focus on how donors impact the students and programs at SCC. Unlike in past years, there will be no cost to attend the event. Guests will be asked to consider making a gift of $200 (or an amount that is meaningful for them) during the event. If you would like to help or want to know more about filling up a table of people, let Wendy know!
Giving Table – Table Captains:
We are seeking volunteers to host tables. This means you would invite people you know professionally (or personally) who you think would be excited about giving a gift in support of SCC Students and programs, you help them register, and let them know any details (how to park etc.), and on the day of the event you act as the Foundation’s representative at the table! Don’t worry, it’s not hard, in fact it’s fun! We’ll even have a handbook that will help you know what to do and when. Let Wendy know if you are interested!
Giving Table – Sponsors:
Sponsorship is a critical component of any fundraising event. Sponsors, individuals, and businesses, provide funds for promotional consideration on our website, social media, printed collateral, etc. Event sponsors help to defray the cost of the event so that every dollar raised will support SCC students and programs! If you want to be a sponsor, or know someone who could be a sponsor, click here for more info.
Shout out to the sponsors who have already committed to helping! Click here to see who they are! And if you know or shop with them, give them a big “thank you”!
