Events and News
Hey folks hope all are well. I’m catching up now from having Memorial Day off. Like you, I am getting through all of these emails!
The annual Student Leadership Awards event last week was fun! If you haven’t attended before, students invite the college community and organize dinner and music, and then give out awards to SCC leaders for their contributions to the community. It is set up like the Academy Awards where presenters read winners from a card (and don’t know who it is ahead of time). I did warn Sundi (Director of Student Leadership & Residential Life) I would stray from the script (which I typically do). Sundi, Associated Student Government (ASG) President Lina, the ASG leadership, and the Student Affairs team did a wonderful job organizing the event! What fun for the students and community!
There was a very powerful event in our theatre this past weekend—screening of the documentary film “Seattle Black Panthers Fight for Justice and Freedom.” Our colleagues, “The Meaningful Movies Project” really brought us a great film and avenue for discussion. The event opened with introductions and an amazing spoken word introduction by
Sharon Nyree Williams which was followed by the film and a panel discussion with Sharon, Director, Producer & Executive Producer Rick DuPree, Seattle Chapter of the Black Panthers Party Co-Founder Elmer Dixon, Shoreline CC Acting DEIA VP Dr. J (Ernest B. Johnson II), and Marques DuPree, Rick’s son (and Director of Photography, Co-Director, Producer & Editor). I learned so much! Thank you to the Shoreline Community College Foundation for sponsoring the event, DarNesha Bowman, owner of Black Coffee Northwest for providing coffee and treats (and celebrating their location opening this fall), and Yummy Gyros food truck for the great food!
Did you hear that King County Councilmember Rod Dembowski presented a proclamation to Shoreline Community College for our support of the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities? This wouldn’t be possible without the wonderful leadership of Tasha Nālei Jugas and the team members of our WAVES/AANHPI Center on campus. Let’s keep the great work going!
This week we were happy to welcome officials from the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge – ADEK to our campus. Shoreline is honored to be one of the first community colleges in the country to be selected to host Emirati students on the Khotwa Rizeup Scholarship Program. The program is part of a broader effort to equip Emirati students with the skills and experiences to contribute to the UAE’s knowledge-based economy. The all-day visit included a welcome by me and AVP Samira Pardanani, meetings with a faculty panel, a campus tour, a working lunch with our academic advisors and other International Education staff, and a meeting with students in the program.
It’s been a great week here, hope the rest of it goes smoothly for everyone.
Cheers,
Jack
