The Shoreline Community College Board of Trustees will participate in the Washington State Association of College Trustees (ACT) Legislative Contact Conference beginning at 5:30 P.M. on Sunday, January 24, 2016 and concluding at 2:15 P.M. on Monday, January 25, 2016. No official action will be taken as the event is for training purposes only.
The conference will be held at the Red Lion Hotel Olympia, located in Olympia, Washington.
This Saturday and Sunday, January 23-24, Shoreline will play host to hundreds of area elementary and middle school students and their robots as the FIRST LEGO League event returns to our campus for the second year running.
The event is free and open to the public, so if you’re looking for a rainy day activity – or just want to check out a really neat community event – swing by the main gym from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
A lot more information on the competition can be found in this article on Michelene Felker’s role in bringing FIRST LEGO League to Shoreline and what the partnership means for our campus.

Listening sessions are organized by constituency group. The schedule of sessions for College employees is as follows:
Wednesday, January 27:
Deans: 8:45-10:15 a.m. in the Admin bldg. Board Room 1010M

Refreshments will be served in each session and you may feel free to bring your lunch during the midday sessions if you’d like. Employee input is extremely important and will help us make our communication efforts more successful.
The sessions have been structured in such a way to allow you to voice your opinions about your impressions of the identity of the college in the community. The Clarus Group representative will visit with you about:
The results of these sessions will be used to convey the benefits the College provides to both the individual student and our communities as well as provide a consistent, integrated message of our College’s Vision and Mission. Other sessions include our students, donors, alumni, transfer partners, business and community leaders, high school students, Board of Trustees and the Foundation Board of Directors.
Please reply to this posting with either YES you will be able to attend or NO you cannot attend or MAYBE you will attend to mbrueggeman@shoreline.edu. We will send a reminder email prior to the listening session.
Thank you so much for your help and we look forward to seeing you at one of the sessions listed above.
