(This week only May 11-15, 2015).

The Disability History Exhibit is a 22-panel collage that traces 3,000 years of seldom-told history. From antiquity to the present, the exhibit brings viewers through an illustrated timeline that shows society’s attitudes and how they affect the lives of people with disabilities. Viewers experience powerful feelings as they notice similarities between ancient practices and modern stereotypes. The exhibit is accessible at many levels, striking a balance between easily grasped information and a comprehensive history viewed from multiple angles. The website, with accessible content of the displays, can be found here.

This display was brought to campus by the Library and OSS, which houses Disability Services for Students (SSD). Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We are located in the FOSS Building room 5226, and can be reached via phone at 206-546-4545 or via email at oss@shoreline.edu. We hope you have an opportunity to go see this beautiful, touching and shocking display.

Please send comments or questions about the exhibit to kcook@shoreline.edu. Thank you for your interest in the Disability History Exhibit.

We’re having a retirement celebration for Kerry Fondren, Confidential Assistant to the Vice President for Academic & Student Affairs on Thurs., June 4 from 3-4:30 p.m. in the Board Room in the Admin bldg., Room 1010M.

Well we’ll be darned! Seams that Kerry had a notion to retire. She’s kept us pieced together and in stitches for many years. Now she’ll presser foot on the gas and spend her days bobbin around her favorite quilting shops. We will miss her SEW much!   ~Julie Bathke

Employee Email Migration Happening May 19

On the morning of May 19th, many employee email accounts will be migrated from on campus to “the cloud” on servers managed by Microsoft. This migration will happen over the course of the morning and is expected to be complete by 12 p.m.

How Can I Prepare?

Microsoft Outlook is the product TSS recommends for email, calendar, and contacts. Using Outlook on whatever device you are using should provide the least disruption.

What Will Happen on My Work PC?

  • On a campus PC, you will be prompted to quit and restart Outlook once the migration has completed for your account.

What Will Happen on My Personal (non-work) Phone or Computer?

  • Older computers/devices may stop working. In that case you will need to access employee email and calendars via mail.shoreline.edu
  • You will likely need to delete your email account from your device and then re-add it.

For further details please visit this email migration page on the intranet.

UPDATE:

From about 8 a.m. on the 19th, TSS staff will arrive at the locations below looking for folks in need of assistance. After staying a while, if there is no activity, the TSS staff may visit another location or head back to their office.

You can always reach TSS via the helpline at 206-546-5872 or submit a support request at help.shoreline.edu.

  • 1000 Bldg.

  • VCT
  • Nursing
  • 1300, 1400, 1500 —> TSS staff will swing in and out as time allows.
