January 19, 2016 by Leave a Comment
This February, Shoreline will be host to the quarterly meeting of the state-wide Research and Planning Commission (RPC). RPC is an organization of the institutional research professionals that provides applied research and analysis for the Washington Association of Community and Technical Colleges (WACTC), collaborates with policy researchers at the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC), and provides professional development for RPC members.
Approximately 50 members of RPC will attend, taking part in a full day of meetings on campus on Thursday, February 4, followed by a half-day business meeting on Friday, February 5. Juliet Scarpa, Assistant Director of Institutional Assessment and Data Management, has organized the event and warns that there will be an impact on parking in the faculty/staff parking lot.
Bayta Maring, Shoreline’s Director of Institutional Assessment and Data Management serves on RPC’s Executive Team. “I am really looking forward to my colleagues coming to Shoreline, seeing our vibrant campus, and learning about our exciting work around student success and strategic planning. It is an honor to host the meeting, and I am so fortunate to have an amazing team helping me put on this event.”
Martin Luther King Week events for Wed., Jan. 20: Selma film showing
January 19, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Join us Wed., Jan. 20 at 10:30 a.m. in the PUB 9208 for a second showing of the acclaimed film Selma, which chronicles the Voting Rights marches of 1965.
Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 legally desegregated the South, discrimination was still rampant in certain areas, making it very difficult for blacks to register to vote. In 1965, an Alabama city became the battleground in the fight for suffrage. Despite violent opposition, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo) and his followers pressed forward on an epic march from Selma to Montgomery, and their efforts culminated in President Lyndon Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The Community Read of Octavia’s Brood is kicking off with its first meeting, Wed., Jan. 20
January 19, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Join us Wed., Jan. 20 at 12:30 p.m. for the first meeting of the Community Read of Octavia’s Brood. We’ll meet weekly on Wednesdays in the PUB 9208 from 12:30-1:30 p.m.
Don’t know what Community Read is? Read on:
Each year a new book is selected for our Community Book Read. Together we share our impressions and ideas. Weekly analyses of the text are led by a variety of college volunteers, bringing with them their unique backgrounds, expertise and perspectives. This keeps the discussion fresh, lively and relevant.
This year’s book is Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movements. Octavia’s Brood is a collection of social justice-themed science fiction stories that feature things like time travel, shape shifting, dystopian worlds, re-imaginings of “model minorities” and the possibilities of using visionary fiction to develop new ideas of future worlds. The works are inspired by the writings of Octavia Butler, an award-winning science fiction writer (Kindred, Parable of the Sower, and Lilith’s Brood) who lived in Lake Forest Park before her death in 2006.
The entire campus community is invited to read and discuss the stories inside Octavia’s Brood during winter quarter. Students will be able to receive a FREE copy of the book after signing up!
You can explore the book, its message and its authors at the library’s learning guide here.
You can find more information and a link to sign up on the SLC web page and you can also sign up to join the read here.
Remembering Martin Luther King, Jr.

(This message from President Cheryl Roberts was sent by email to all employees on Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2016)
Dear Colleagues,
During our three-day weekend, I hope you found time to remember Martin Luther King, Jr. and all those who work each day to “let freedom ring.” Our college, community, and world need the sensibilities and determination he embodied of love and service, equity and opportunity for all! In the coming week, I hope you will join in the conversation and various MLK events on campus! You can check DAAG and the college calendar for event days and times.
May we work each day to realize his dream and the best in each of us.
Gratefully,
Cheryl
