Free CPR and AED training available for employees

Would you know what to do in a cardiac or breathing emergency? The right answer could help you save a life. With a mixture of classroom and hands-on learning, Shoreline Fire Department personnel will begin providing a two-hour course to give you the skills to potentially save a life.

Consider these facts:

  • There are 220,000 victims of sudden cardiac arrest per year in the United States; about 10,000 sudden cardiac arrests occur at work
  • Waiting for the arrival of emergency medical system personnel results in only a 5-7 percent survival rate.
  • Paramedics can take eight to 12 minutes to arrive, but someone suffering sudden cardiac arrest needs help immediately.
  • 75 percent of all out-of-hospital heart attacks happen at home

Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in the workplace save lives. An AED is a medical device designed to analyze the heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock to victims of ventricular fibrillation to restore the heart rhythm to normal. A bystander with access to an AED can greatly improve the chance of survival. The college has recently purchased eight new AED machines, for a total now of 12 on campus. Learn where they are on campus and how to use them.

FRIDAY, JAN. 29 – 1:30-3:30 p.m., Room 3002

The course, free to Shoreline employees, will include a certification card. The training is voluntary, requiring supervisory permission to attend. Class size is limited and your pre-registration is required. Wear comfortable clothing.  If a class is full, you will be placed on a waitlist for a cancellation or coming class.

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

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. (128 minutes)

Screen Shot 2015-08-11 at 3.23.55 PM
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.
