Hey folks,
This week included a strong mix of global engagement, community partnership, and ongoing institutional work supporting Shoreline’s mission. I had the opportunity to join colleagues in meeting with Dr. Achyuta Samanta during his visit to Seattle, hosted by the Consulate General of India. Dr. Samanta is the founder of the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), a major private university, and the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS), a globally recognized institution that provides fully funded education and support services to tens of thousands of underserved students in India. This was a valuable opportunity to reconnect following our recent delegation and to continue building relationships that support international education and collaboration.
On campus, we welcomed several community partners to Shoreline. Danica Noble, who is currently a candidate for the Washington State House of Representatives, visited campus to tour our programs and share perspectives on leadership and public policy. We also hosted Kate Ledbetter, founder of Destination Shoreline, a local platform that highlights community events, businesses, and opportunities to connect residents and organizations across the city. These visits are an important part of strengthening regional partnerships and ensuring Shoreline remains closely connected to the broader community it serves!
In addition to these engagements, I also had the opportunity to meet with a donor, work through budget development, and support policy efforts.
Looking ahead, we are preparing for Shoreline’s upcoming Preview Day, hope to see you there! Dicks Drive thru will even be here!!
Cheers,
Jack

Shoreline College Foundation Staff Emergency Fund
