A Shoreline Shout-out to The Foundation Team
Maya Hermachandra, April Nilsen, Josh Krupke, Kara Haney and Amy Stapleton. These people have stepped up through massive transitions, ransomware, events, and all storms and issues. Their focus has always been to put the student and the students’ needs first and foremost. In any meeting or discussion, the focus always comes back to that – what are the needs of the students.

What is not often seen is the scramble behind the scenes to make sure money is coming in for scholarships, hiccups when event planning doesn’t always go to plan, and the huge amount of organization involved to make sure the structure behind the scenes is correct.

Kudos to the whole team – as each individual part makes the whole thing work together!

A Shoreline Shout-out to Facilities and Capital projects for Inclusive Excellence, Respect, Student Engagement, and Community Engagement.

Melanie, along with the entire Grounds and Facilities team, provides ongoing and exceptional care for our buildings and outdoor spaces, often through work that when done well can easily go unnoticed by the community they serve. Recently, I observed Melanie taking the initiative to deep clean the outdoor trash containers, a task that many would never see but one that reflects their commitment to maintaining a clean, welcoming environment for everyone. This proactive attention to essential details demonstrates a genuine sense of care and stewardship for our campus community. –  Submitted anonymously.
