Campus Updates 5/8/2025

Hey folks – hope you are well.

This will be a brief update since we have our 60th anniversary celebration today!  See you there!

Happy (late) Cinco de Mayo! So glad we were able to represent Shoreline Community College at Latino Educational Training Institute’s first community event at their new location! Ryan Aiello, Shanon Ehmke-Reedy, Jessica Strickland, and Liz Agapito had a great time – mariachi, piñata (some of these kids are pretty intense!), great food and community – we even got a shoutout.  I did get warned that the red sauce was hot but as my friends know – Prefiero que la salsa sea picante!

I also really enjoyed our Day of Learning. Over 300 employees spending time together getting updates, being inspired by wonderful talks like Dr. Gerry Ebalaroza-Tunnell’s Gracious Anger and Dr. J’s History of DEI at SCC, celebrating faculty & staff milestones, eating lunch (of course!), and preparing for the Americans with Disabilities Act Title II Updated Requirements to “up our accessibility game” for 2026

Great seeing everyone!!! 

Cheers,

Jack

60th Open House TODAY! 

WOW – so many thanks to everyone on campus who has worked so hard to make this event wonderful. Please be sure to take some time and enjoy the program – especially the Keynote and Cake from 6-7 in the MDR! We have some great speakers…including a faculty member who taught Accounting at SCC in 1966!  

Nursing Program 

The Shoreline Nursing Program is excited to share that our part-time program expansion has been approved by the Washington State Board of Nursing. The first expanded cohort of 32 students will begin in Fall 2025. 
 
This substantive change also includes many improvements to reduce attrition and better serve the unique needs of the part-time nursing student.
