Campus Updates 7/12/24

Events and News 

Hey folks, hope you are well and had a great long 4^th of July weekend. Mine was low-key (which was great) but I did see a movie, which is rare for me. I saw the film Martha, which I didn’t know much about but really enjoyed. It is about a woman (I believe in her 80s) who gets taken advantage of by a phone scam and decides to get revenge! It does a wonderful job tackling human agency and ageism and includes some generational pokes coupled with an uplifting story.  

This week has been mostly business at the College, helping to onboard our new VPs, going through emails, and getting planning activities ready for this month to start work on our Strategic Action Teams.   

I went to the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Wednesday.  I attended with Wendy Coates and saw Cameron Dollar and Lauren Hadley (who is active with the chamber and the city) there too.  It was a great overview of the city strategic plan, and we appreciated the updates from the chamber. The best part was meeting a couple folks who shared stories about their children going to Shoreline (one person had all four kids come here). I always love finding those connections and hearing the stories! 

Cheers, 

Jack
