A memorial service for Prof. Linda D. Barnes is scheduled for 2 p.m., Aug. 2, 2014 in the PUB Main Dining Room at Shoreline Community College.

Prof. Linda Barnes

Barnes, 57, was a mainstay in Shoreline’s nursing program for the past 24 years. She passed away July 16, 2014, following a nearly year-long battle with cancer, according to family members. She is survived by her husband, Larry, and daughter, Shannon.

Barnes came to Shoreline in 1990 as an associate faculty member to teach perinatal care. In 1998, she applied for a tenure track positon and was awarded tenure in 2001. Barnes earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, in 1979 and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University in 1980. She earned her Master’s in Nursing from the University of Washington in 1990.

Shoreline’s nursing program is well-known for setting a high bar and rigorous standards. Nursing program director Lynn Von Schlieder said Barnes was played a key role in forging the program’s reputation.

Interim President Daryl Campbell said, “Our thoughts are with Linda’s family, friends and all those who were touched by this wonderfully compassionate and dedicated nurse, educator and human being.”

Incoming president Cheryl Roberts Roberts said, “Losing a key faculty member is difficult, losing a friend is devastating. The way that Shoreline comes together to support one another is encouraging and humbling.”

The presidential transition from current Interim President Daryl Campbell to incoming President Cheryl Roberts will be official on Friday, Aug. 1. To mark the change, there will be an informal event starting at 8:30 a.m. that day in the College Gallery.  Both Campbell and Roberts will make remarks, followed by an opportunity for welcome and farewell conversations. Light refreshments will be available, provided by the Shoreline Community College Foundation.

eLearning would like to thank the faculty for taking time out of their summer to join us at our Quality Matters retreat last week!

We introduced the Quality Matters online course peer-review process and faculty began aligning their course outcomes with their weekly/unit objectives.  We also all had a great time together sharing pedagogy, philosophy and teaching experiences!  If you are interested in learning more about Quality Matters, please contact Livia or Amy in eLearning, or check out the quality matters webpage!
