Events and News
Hey there folks, I hope you are all doing well. This was quite a week for community engagement. I saw many of you at the really moving presentation by Matika Wilbur presentation which began with a wonderful intro from students in our First Nations club. Matika then shared work from her book, “Project 562” where she visited all 50 states and documented the diverse lives and stories of Native Americans. The work is beautiful, challenging, and inspirational. She called to us as educators to transform our institutions and better reflect indigenous histories, voices, and practices. We have taken some positive steps here at Shoreline in that way and are looking forward to more!
Early this week I attended some of Anida Yoeu Ali’s workshops. She is currently featured in an exhibition at the Seattle Asian Art Museum which coincidentally I had just seen a few weeks ago (it’s really powerful if you haven’t seen it). Big thanks to the multicultural center and WAVES for bringing her here to connect with our students and staff.
I also really enjoyed a coffee reception held at the University of Washington for their annual undergraduate research symposium. Shoreline Community College is lucky to have the opportunity for our wonderful Honors students to participate! Thank you to the leadership of Michael Overa and the other Honors faculty! UW President Dr Ana Mari Cauce did a wonderful welcome, reminding folks of the importance of undergraduate research as a core part of their mission, as well as sharing how this kind of experience had a profound impact on her journey.
At this week’s Board meeting it was a pleasure to see three additional faculty members receive tenure. A huge congratulations go out to Caitlan Maxwell and Lauren Valentino Bryant, Library, and Kayleen Kondrack-Caranto, English for all their hard work and dedication. We are happy to have you here with us!
Lastly, I want to wish everyone a happy Memorial Day next week. On behalf of the College, I want to thank all of our students and community members who have served and especially to those we honor for giving their lives in service.
Be well all.
Jack
