Please spread the news to students! On Wednesday, Nov. 13 from 8:30-9:20 in room 1104, listen to Karam H. Hawkins talk about now being your time. Hawkins is the owner of The Hawkins Law Group, a graduate of North Seattle CC, University of Washington and the UW Law School and a parent, finding a balance between professional life with being a mother.

When NASA flew the Apollo Missions to the moon (1969-1972) to land on the surface, take measurements, and collect samples of lunar rock and soil (among other tasks), it dedicated a portion of the returned samples to education. Since then, school and college educators have been able to borrow sets of lunar samples to use in classrooms and displays. It’s a rather astounding experience to hold a piece of the moon (encased in plexiglass for safety) in your hand! And for the next 2 weeks we have the opportunity at Shoreline.

Geologist and astronomy teacher Linda Khandro has a set of lunar samples (along with a set of meteorite samples) to share with the Science Club, and other interested students, faculty, and staff for the next two weeks. They will be set up in Room 2903, Wednesdays and Fridays, with microscopes and hand lenses, from 2:30-4:30 pm. There is no need to reserve a time to view the samples, just come on by!

(The samples will not be available after Nov.14 and are available for viewing by members of the science club only on Nov. 6)

On Thursday, Nov. 7, join us for a conversation about Brazil’s worldview with special guests: Pedro Costa (Honorary Consul General for Brazil, Seattle) and Steve Murphy (Senior Advisor, Pacific Northwest Advisors). Part of the symposium, No One’s World, organized by the Global Affairs Center. Room 9208 in the PUB starting at 7:30.

We have a couple events that could be disruptive to your normal schedule.

On Wednesday morning, the 16th annual student success campaign community breakfast will be taking place in the main dining room in the PUB from 7-9 a.m. Here is what you need to know! Parking could be a little more difficult than normal until the breakfast is over. Starting at 8 a.m. the shuttle from the Sears lot will be running to help with this.

Although no more seats are available for the breakfast, you can still be involved with the cause by donating on the foundation website. All proceeds go to scholarships for students. The main dining room will be closed off but should be back up and running around 9:30 a.m. for regular access. But should you be in the need for food, the cafe will have more options to choose from!

On Thursday, the Avid Fair will bring about 1000 high school students throughout the day to campus to meet with representatives from 30 colleges from 9:30 until 12:30. College representatives will arrive at about 7:30 a.m. and may take up some of the spots in the staff lots but they should be cleared out around 12:30 p.m. The main dining room will be crowded with students but the cafeteria will still be open. If there are any questions please contact Amy Stapleton!
