November 29, 2023 by Leave a Comment

A Wave of Gratitude to Brandon Fryman for inclusive excellence, respect and community engagement.  I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude to Brandon Fryman for his outstanding leadership and dedication in managing the Online Quality Institute. Brandon’s commitment to providing top-notch materials and his hands-on assistance have been pivotal in shaping my courses that are not only academically rigorous but also inclusive, equitable, and accessible. His work has set a high standard in our educational community, ensuring that our online learning environments are both engaging and supportive for all students. Brandon’s efforts have not only enhanced the quality of our online offerings but have also contributed significantly to creating an inclusive and collaborative workspace. His dedication is a shining example of the values we hold dear in our college community. Submitted Anonymously

A Wave of Gratitude to Douglas Haub for enhancing and facilitating the division processes. Douglas has consistently brought innovative ideas to the table, significantly enhancing our division processes. His remarkable attitude has not only added value but also greatly benefited our students. For instance, he initiated the creation of student groups for tuition waivers and developed reports that have saved countless work hours by efficiently providing the necessary information. Submitted by Oscar Arroyo

As a reminder, for those wishing to acknowledge the work of fellow shoreline staff members or a group at Shoreline, you need only submit a Waves of Gratitude form for individuals or a Shoreline Shoutout for groups.  Thank you from the Employee Recognition Committee.
