Susan Hoyne retiring; Guy Hamilton to be Acting Dean of Science

Susan Hoyne is retiring from Shoreline Community College.

Hoyne, who is the Dean of Science, Mathematics, Manufacturing, Engineering, Computer Science and Energy, announced her decision in an email to division faculty and staff on Friday, June 5, 2015.

“I thank you all for the extraordinary work you have done,” Hoyne wrote. “I have thoroughly enjoyed being the Dean of this Division for the past 12 years.”

Taking over as Acting Dean on June 15 will be Guy Hamilton, program chair of the Biology/Biotechnology department.

“I’m excited about the opportunity,” Hamilton said. “My role with the Strategic Planning and Budget Committee has offered some insight and I like where the college is headed. I’m looking forward to helping the college and our students be successful.”

Hoyne’s final day on campus will be no later than Friday, June 12. Hamilton will assume his new duties on Monday, June 15.

“I’ve always admired Guy’s intellect and dedication as a faculty member,” Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs Bob Francis said. “I’m looking forward to working with Guy in the dean’s role.”

Hamilton will serve through the 2015-16 academic year, during which the college will conduct an open recruitment on the regular academic cycle, according to Vice President for Human Resources and Legal Affairs Stephen P. Smith.

SWOT Gallery Walk … End-of-Year Social

What do you get when you combine an opportunity for a little camaraderie with a little strategic planning?

The “SWOT Gallery Walk…End-of-Year Social!”

SWOT gallery walkThe end-of-quarter gathering is open to all employees and light refreshments will be served from 12:30 p.m.-1:30 p.m., Tuesday, June 9, 2015, in Room 1402.

The event is a continuation of what is becoming a new tradition brought by President Roberts to schedule informal, end-of-quarter gatherings. Following fall quarter, the bookstore’s ice cream cooler was rolled into the Quiet Dining Room. For winter quarter, it was Shoreline’s version of March Madness in the Board Room.

With all the work that went into strategic planning this spring, including numerous focus groups on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT), it seemed like an obvious theme for the spring-quarter version of the gathering.

The results of the various SWOT focus groups as well as the online survey, are being prepared for display on easels around the room. The SWOT results will be available as part of the ongoing strategic planning work. The “SWOT Gallery Walk…End-of-Year Social” is just another way of looping the information back to the campus.

As a reminder, the Strategic Planning Task Force process started with the SWOT meetings and survey, will continue through the summer with work groups, engage the campus again in September and through fall quarter toward a goal of adoption in late fall.
