Events and News 

Hey folks—I hope you all are doing well. It’s been a busy week as we get closer to the start of fall term.  I started off the end of last week meeting with our K-12 partners to discuss what was going well, and ways we can work together to improve how we enroll, register, and serve students from the district.  It was great to have Ben Weng, Ryan Aiello and Brian Ramos meet their team, begin to forge valuable relationships, and brainstorm ideas.  I imagine we will see a lot of positive steps come from this introductory meeting.  More soon! 

The weekend included a great event I was happy to attend. The first day of the Tibetan Language and Culture school kicked off right here at Shoreline Community College. I gave some introductory remarks and started by asking the kids what they think happened here at the College.  They knew it was a college, and then shared what topics they thought students might learn—math, history, and science came up as well as “notebooks.” I’ll need to check with the Faculty Senate whether that has come through with the new curriculum.  It was fun- the kids are so cool and engaged.  We are very lucky to have this collaboration with the Tibetan Association of Washington. 

On Monday Greg Cranson and I met with the Shoreline Police department, and I had the pleasure of meeting their new Captain Brian Angelo. You may know this already, but we get together regularly with them to discuss security, our overall relationship, event planning etc.   We also discussed how we will be getting a new police chief etc.  The police department has been very invested in meeting and planning with us regularly, so that continues to be a really great partnership. 

The past few days have been spent working on various projects for the strategic plan and in other areas.  I met with the Participatory Governance Task Force to plan a presentation for Opening Week, met with ET members in 1:1’s, with AVP Samira to discuss strategies to increase Interantional enrollment we are employing this year. I also attended a couple WACTC Presidents meetings and completed a training in ET on campus emergency response (which will be shared with campus soon as well).   

It’s been a productive week- hope yours has been too! 
Cheers, 

Jack
