Campus Updates 3/8/24

Events and News 

Thursday 3/7/24 

Hello folks- I hope you are having a good week.  My week has mostly been meetings and reading/re-reading the accreditation report which was due this week! A HUGE thanks to everyone who contributed and helped us pivot and improve for the April visit! 

I am really looking forward to attending the art show on Thursday but what I am not looking forward to is choosing ONE person to win the President’s Choice Award.  I know this will sound corny, but it is 100% accurate- have you seen the student art show?!  I dare you to come by and try to narrow it down to one favorite.  There’s so much creativity!! 

Today Lori and I walked around campus to hand-deliver personal thank you cards that Chair Chan had put together to thank everyone involved in the strategic plan and accreditation process.  it was a somewhat amusing e-mail chain that went like this: 

Chair Chan: “Jack, can you send me a list of everyone that participated in the strategic plan?  I’d like to send them a personal thank you.” 

Pres Jack: (gulp) “Yes, I can but it’s um pretty long…..” 

Chair Chan: “No problem, I just think it’s the right thing to do.” 

Pres Jack: “Lori, release the spreadsheet!” 

In all seriousness our board knows how hard people worked to get all this together and they really appreciate all the work folks put into these major steps in our development. 

I’m looking forward to seeing Tim Wise.  I have seen him present before and was really blown away by his presentation.  Really hoping we get a great turnout for it!!  See you there! 

Not sure when you will read this but Happy International Women’s Day (Friday March 8^th)!   Our Gender Equity Center has done a great job rolling out some events, so please look!  We are fortunate in Higher Education (and certainly at Shoreline) to have many wonderful leaders who are strong advocates for gender equality, and who push us to be more inclusive and equitable when it comes to gender and identity.  Thank you all for all you do. 

Cheers, 

Jack
