Good afternoon!

I have the pleasure as Chair of the Faculty Senate of announcing two recent ascensions (nice word, no?) to the rank of Professor Emeritus. On October 23, the Faculty Senate Council voted unanimously to grant the rank to Professor Betsey Barnett upon her retirement in December 2013. On January 8^th, the council voted unanimously to grant the rank to Professor Bruce Amstutz upon his upcoming retirement at the end of this quarter.

According to Policy 4722 Professor Emeritus status entitles the recipient to, amongst other privileges, the use of a shared office; full faculty privileges in the use of the library, gymnasium and other campus facilities; the use of a campus mailbox and e-mail address; and faculty parking privileges.

Congratulations to our two newest Professors Emeriti!

‘Cause we are!

Alright, here’s the plan:

First, wear your Seahawks gear on Friday, Jan. 31.

Second, be at the square by the PUB  at 12:30 p.m.

Third, help us raise the 12th man flag with Dolphie!

Fourth, jump in the photo!

Finally, and this should be easy, root for the Hawks on Sunday as they take on the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl! #GoHawks

Dear Faculty and Staff,

Last week 150 SCC students celebrated the annual MLK Day of Service on Monday, January 20^th by collecting food for a nine-store food drive around Shoreline. We collected in total 8,439 pounds of food for Hopelink, North Helpline, and Greenwood food banks! The top-collecting store, led by Faustin Saputra and Evangeline Munson was QFC Northgate at 11100 Roosevelt Way- collecting 1, 732 pounds of food for North Helpline! The final results can be found on the website!

To celebrate their efforts I will be planning a celebration lunch in the month of February to award prizes, certificates, and share good food and conversation with participants. Thank you for your collective support of this event- it was a great success!

Best,

Katherine Erickson
