Waves of Gratitude

Waves of Gratitude for Brandon Fryman with eLearning for Community Engagement and Dedication. I reached out to Brandon last Friday for some help. He responded pretty quickly, but I wanted to know more about the issue at hand, so I pinged him on Teams. He answered and listened to my question and then started to type. He just had oral surgery and had the day off. I had no clue. He thought that solving my problem was very important to me and helped. As a nurse, once I found out that he just had surgery, I was like, sorry, this is not that important. What dedication! – Anonymous

Waves of Gratitude for Gary Fantozzi with Automotive Programs for Inclusive Excellence and Respect.

I have worked here for 6+ years and never had a name plaque for my office. It didn’t seem like a big deal until one day I had one. I felt respected and part of the team. Just a little thing that made a big impact. Thank you Gary for the thoughtfulness. It shows great leadership qualities. – Anonymous

Waves of Gratitude for Ellen Pincus of Administrative Services for Respect, Patience and Shared Knowledge. Ellen has assisted me in processes, correcting my mistakes, learning new duties as assigned, and generally is my rock at work. I appreciate her willingness to share her knowledge! I always believed shared knowledge is powerful and it proves true with Ellen. Thank you, Ellen, for making me better in my work. Submitted by Wanda Waldrop of Advanced Manufacturing

As a reminder, for those wishing to acknowledge the work of fellow shoreline staff members or a group at Shoreline, you need only submit a Waves of Gratitude form for individuals or a Shoreline Shout-out for groups.  Thank you from the Employee Recognition Committee – Rob, Wanda, and Megan.

Update — New Director, Admissions, Enrollment, and Outreach Please Welcome

Dear Shoreline Staff and Faculty

Shoreline would like to welcome David Berner as our new Director of Admissions, Enrollment, & Outreach. David comes to us from Cascadia College, where he was the Assistant Director of Enrollment Services and worked closely with multiple departments in the student success area as well as Student Learning. David has worked in community colleges for three (3) years and has over 15 years of experience in the private and public sectors of higher education. 

David looks forward to bringing his knowledge of working through the many stages of the student journey that span from – interest to graduation – and is very excited to share in Shoreline’s mission to help serve the student community in meeting their academic goals. David has undergraduate degrees in English and Interactive Media & Design; has a Master of Arts degree in Creative Writing; and an Educational Doctorate in Organizational Leadership with research in retention strategies for First Generation Students in community colleges.

David is passionate about community colleges and the benefit they provide to many students who wish to engage themselves and achieve their ambitions through collective efforts and shared governance. He likes to emphasize collaboration and communication in his work to build foundational trust and connections throughout the many departments of the institution, as well as the student body.

On a personal note, David is a bit adventurous and is not shy to travel thousands of miles on a road trip with his family to experience the natural beauty of

our diverse landscapes. He is a seasoned traveler and has many stories to share. He writes in his free time, as well as illustrates, and loves to read.

David began his employment with the college on March 16, 2023.

Please join me in welcoming David to Shoreline.

Thank you.

In their first full week of hearings after last week’s floor cutoff deadline, committees were back at work hearing bills on creating data sharing agreements, expanding Running Start to the summer, and making permanent the Supporting Students Experiencing Homelessness program.

Jacob Katz has this week’s interns’ update: Lessons from the legislative galleries

Tomorrow morning, I will have the honor of introducing my district representatives at an in-person town hall meeting on my college campus. While preparing for this opportunity, I cannot help but reflect on the last few weeks of the internship that got me here.
