Campus Updates 2/12/2026

Hey folks,

The president’s office has been very busy this week with on-campus work, particularly on supporting the HR Payroll team and planning activities to support our community with concerns about ICE.

I did have a chance to meet with the great team from Workforce and update them on college activities.  And yes, you can invite me to a department meeting anytime! 

A couple fun things you may not know about…

Have you seen the new IE newsletter?  It’s great!  

Also… 

Shoreline Community College has launched a new, coordinated process to better serve Spanish‑speaking students. Our “Voces Hispanas” team now provides direct connection, guidance, and cross‑campus support.

Shoreline Community College ha lanzado un nuevo proceso coordinado para servir mejor a los estudiantes de habla hispana. Nuestro equipo “Voces Hispanas” ahora ofrece conexión directa, orientación y apoyo coordinado en todo el campus.

Por favor comparte!!

Thanks to the Voces team, we already have had new inquiries and a campus tour setup through this process which literally just launched.  Share the info far and wide! 

Cheers, 

Jack

Communication and Marketing 

We are making good progress toward finalizing our brand package and usage guidelines for our new logo. We look forward to sharing them with you later this month. In the meantime, please refrain from using the new logo in your signature files or communications.  I have received several emails this week from folks who have begun using the new logo in their email signature files.  While I love the enthusiasm, we are not quite ready for that yet but will cover that information in the brand guidelines.  Thanks! ~Cat

Mental Health First Aid

Free Mental Health First Aid Training Offered at Shoreline Community College!

Shoreline Community College Counseling Center is offering free Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training for our campus community. MHFA is a research-supported international education program developed to teach adults how to recognize and respond to signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges. MHFA is a skills-based course that gives people the tools to assist someone who might be struggling with mental health or substance use challenges and connect them with appropriate support and resources. To date, 2.5 million people across the United States have been trained in MHFA.

Just as CPR helps those without clinical training assist an individual having a heart attack, MHFA prepares participants to interact with a person experiencing a mental health crisis. Mental Health First Aiders learn a 5-step Action Plan that guides them through reaching out and offering appropriate support.

With support from the Counseling Center, this training (valued at $170.00/participant) is FREE to Shoreline Community College employees and students.

Training Details:

We are currently offering a blended training which includes:

  • 2-hour, self-paced online training prior to the in-person training and
  • 6.5 hour in-person training

This quarter’s in-person training is scheduled for: Friday, March 6th, 9:00am-3:30pm

The self-paced online training must be completed prior to attending the in-person training.  You must complete the online and in-person training to become a certified Mental Health First Aider. MHFA certification lasts for 3 years.

Please email Gwyn Hoffman-Robinson at gehoffman@shoreline.edu to register and/or find out more information. Please note registration is limited and a waiting list will be started when capacity is reached. Once registered, details as far as room location, etc. will be shared.
