Events and News 

Good afternoon, all! 

Once again, I hope you are all doing well. This was another week filled with meetings dedicated to budget planning.  

It has been challenging, given our limited resources and the number of requests received. I do think though, that we have developed a process that will honor a collaborative and transparent approach with a focus on prioritization and future planning. We will do even better next year. You may have attended yesterday’s (August 23, 2023) Board of Trustees meeting where we presented the DRAFT budget to the trustees. This, of course, was a “higher level” presentation.  

During Opening Week, we will share information with the campus about the specifics (e.g., innovation grant list, etc.) surrounding the College’s 2023-2024 operating budget. 

A highlight this week was meeting with my colleague Kunchok Gonpo, the president of the Tibetan Association of Washington (TAW). We are excited that the TAW will be offering language and culture classes to the Tibetan community every Sunday, right here at Shoreline Community College! Thank you to Suzanne Gugger, Assistant Director (Continuing Education, Facility Rentals & Events) for all her work on this! We are also collaborating on other possibilities with the TAW and are planning to connect President Gonpo’s team with campus folks in the fall.  

Other than that, not much to report on a personal front. I spent all last weekend on Shoreline CC related work so have less fun stuff to report! I did, however, have a fun ZOOM catch-up with a Community College President friend from California. Always fun to share similarities and differences across colleges. We also managed to talk about non-work- related stuff—which is sometimes a challenge for us.  

Hope your weekend is relaxing and energizing as well.  

Best, 

Jack

Law Enforcement Training Seminar on Campus Aug. 28th – 30th

August 23, 2023 by Leave a Comment

Next week, Monday, August 28th – Wednesday, August 30th, local law enforcement will be conducting a training seminar in Buildings 1500 and 1600. Part of the training will involve Taser firings (similar to the sound of a nail gun) and yelled verbal commands. Signage will be posted around Building 1500 and 1600 to ensure public knowledge of the training in progress. The Taser firings and verbal commands will only be conducted in the Theater, Theater Lobby, and Room 1504 and should have no impact on other campus operations. The police presence on campus will be minimal as the seminar training instructors are law enforcement but the participants are employees of the Taser manufacturer. The seminar is to help the employees better understand the training and real-world applications of the Taser to help increase the effectiveness of the less-lethal tool.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Acting Director of Safety & Security Gregory Cranson at gcranson@shoreline.edu

Campus Updates 8/18/23

Events and News 

Good afternoon folks—hope all is well! 

This last week was very busy! I spent several meetings with folks pouring over budget and program reviews looking through requests etc. that have come in through our review process. A huge thank you to Becca Chen and the members of the Budget team for all of their work getting the budget in order and walking us through this process. We will be presenting some preliminary information to the Board next week on this process- I am looking forward to sharing the results with our community. 

This past week, Wendy Coates, and two of our board members (Rebecca Chan and Kim Wells) joined me in meeting with a representative of the Seattle Foundation as well as newly appointed chancellor Rosie Rimando-Chareunsap to discuss the history of the Seattle Promise. We are learning more about how the Promise has had a major positive impact on Seattle as a community and will be discussing throughout the year whether this is something that could work at SCC as well. More soon! 

I also wanted to highlight a blog post about Mary’s Place (that you can see listed in Events and Updates below) as they did a nice story on our new partnership with them this week. Thanks to Karen Bretz, Taraji Belgacem, Paprika Fahrenwald, and Kelly Williams (new ESL faculty) for helping get this partnership together and piloted this summer. We plan to keep this going in fall, winter, and spring. We’re also in talks with Compass Housing Alliance about doing ESL classes at their Shoreline location in coordination with Hopelink, so I’ll keep you posted on that! 

This week I wanted to send a shoutout to Douglas Haub and Terrell Fox. Many people don’t know all the great work they do behind the scenes to support so many people. They provide so many creative solutions, and so much support behind the scenes that I just wanted to share that with campus- we see you both, and we appreciate you! 

Finally I wanted to share that last weekend I was able to visit the Walla Walla area for the first time. We had a great time, enjoyed the wineries and some great food. But let me tell you something. There was NO onion propaganda to be seen anywhere. No stands, no posters, no silly onion cartoons. Come on people! We were told with the focus on wineries that the onion has lost its special place. They can of course still be found at Albertsons etc. So, if you were wondering why I didn’t bring you any onions this week, this is why! 

Have a wonderful weekend. 

Best, Jack

Communications and Marketing 

Hi everyone! I have a couple of updates and reminders for you this week. The first is that I am going to be out of the country on vacation for the next two weeks starting this weekend. I will return the day after Labor Day on the 5th. While I am away Damon Logan dlogan@shoreline.edu will be handling DAAG and ST requests as well as managing the college calendar. If you have any questions please send them his way, and if you’d like to submit something for DAAG or ST, please do so via the calendar request which can be found here. 

Secondly, I want to remind everyone that if you would like to request a website update or addition, please do so using the web request form. When you do it please make sure you include the link for the page you are looking to fix and adding a screenshot is also incredibly helpful. Those requests go directly to Damon and by entering them into the ticketing system it helps us track and respond to them better. 

Thank you and I’ll see you in two weeks! 😊 -Cat 

TSS 

We are continuing to work with the State to reestablish our database connection with ctcLink information which we use to feed into our systems including the campus directory. While we work through that project, we want to share a temporary solution with you. 

This spreadsheet contains directory information as it was prior to March 20, 2023. It may not be 100% accurate in terms of phone numbers, but it is a start. As we continue to roll out our new phone system, those phone numbers will be automatically updated within the spreadsheet for improved accuracy. 

Please note that this temporary directory is automatically updated every Sunday, so if an employee is new, they might not be viewable immediately until that weekly update occurs. 

We will continue to provide updates as we receive them.
