Events and News
Looking out the window today and seeing a *slight* ray of Sunshine and hoping it stays. It’s been a pretty rainy week with two fake springs this year (at least two) – let’s just do this! It’s spring quarter, right? And today enrollment is up almost 4% compared to last year!
This has been a pretty busy week with more “run of the mill” items. At the end of last week, we made some good progress on strategic action team items, worked on the PRFR accreditation report (and proudly, I have all my section drafts completed!), and had a lot of meetings with folks.
I also met with King County Presidents to discuss “the state of the state”, attended the Presidents’ Alliance on Immigration and International Students policy meeting, met with board members, did a fun tour of the new CECO space (it looks great if you haven’t seen it recently!!), hung out with some of our King County colleagues, and had a couple meetings with potential new partnerships for the college.
I want to invite you to next week’s state of the budget meeting on Wed., 4/16 at 3:00 PM in Room 1104 or on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83173429202
This meeting is intended to provide:
- An overview of the budget approval process in Washington state.
- An overview of the current budget situation in Washington state and the proposals from the House, the Senate, and the Governor.
- An understanding of what Shoreline CC has done thus far to prepare for the budget proposal(s).
- Answers to questions regarding next steps
And finally—I am hoping to get some plants in the ground this weekend. Anyone growing anything fun? Any suggestions? Have a great week!
Cheers,
Jack
