Events and News 

Good morning, all!  Well, actually as I write this it’s yesterday afternoon for you.  Hope you had a great day!  

This was another productive week full of meetings with partners in China.  We finished our time in Beijing by visiting a high school and another international school.  Both visits were interesting and showed much potential.  I think I mentioned it earlier, but one of our enrollment strategies is to build up more partnerships with institutions (in addition to agents) and China is an excellent place to do so, as interest is high. 

As of writing this, we have just arrived in Qingdao. In the hotel we are staying at there happens to be a Chinese dental technology conference occurring, so maybe we can partner with them and our awesome dental hygiene program! 

One of the best parts of this trip has been meeting the parents of our students who are attending Shoreline, which has been so moving.  They are so delighted with our program and our college! 

Thanks so much to the folks who inquired about the black tofu- glad you are reading these, and I love hearing from you as well. 

Cheers, 

Jack

Foundation 

The Giving Table Luncheon in support of students and programs at SCC is only 2 weeks away! Funds raised at this luncheon help bridge financial gaps for students struggling with basic needs insecurities, fund on-campus initiatives like the Ethnic Studies Lecture Series, and pay for equipment and tools to help us do our jobs more efficiently. This year, we are hoping to raise over $100,000! Attendance at the luncheon is free, but please be aware guests will be asked to make a gift that is personally meaningful during the event. You can learn more and/or RSVP by clicking here. 

The Foundation needs help with décor, set-up, and tear-down for the upcoming “Giving Table” event on November 1, 2024. Specifically, we are looking for help on: 

• October 31 from 2:00pm-3:00pm to help set-up décor. There will be pizza! 
• November 1 from 10:30am-11:30am to help with day-of-setup and handing out name badges.  

Employees interested in helping out can do so with supervisor approval as long as there is no impact to the completion of regular duties.  Contact sccfoundation@shoreline.edu once you’ve gained supervisor approval to do so and thank you in advance for your help!
