Events and News 

Good afternoon all, 

I want to apologize for my absence from recent communication on this update. I’ve been away in Arizona supporting my family during a very difficult time. My father was hospitalized and, sadly, passed away last weekend. As many of you who have experienced the loss of a parent know, it’s very challenging for a variety of reasons.   

I really appreciate the kind words and condolences I’ve received—they’ve meant a lot. 

I’ve returned this week and made it a priority to be present for our community check-in. I’m looking forward to reconnecting and continuing our important work together. 

Cheers, 

Jack

New Microsoft Outlook Email Quarantine Feature Activated!  

As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen Shoreline’s cybersecurity posture and enhance the user experience, we have activated a new MS Outlook Email Quarantine feature. This tool is designed to help manage potential spam messages more effectively. 

Here’s what you need to know: 

• Quarantine Notifications will come from: quarantine@messaging.microsoft.com 

• The system flags emails that may be spam and sends you a notification for review. 

• You will have three options for each quarantined message: 

1. Review the Message 

2. Block the Sender 

3. Release the Message 

Please treat all quarantined items as spam unless you are certain of their legitimacy before taking any action. 

This feature is part of our commitment to keeping our digital environment secure and user-friendly. Thank you for your attention and cooperation.

Gratitude for Coastal Community Bank! Coastal Community Bank is a valued local partner whose growing support continues to make a strong impact on Shoreline College and the Foundation, both through generous contributions and outstanding service. 

This year, Coastal Community Bank has stepped up in exciting new ways: 

• Community Impact Grant – $10,000. For the first time, the bank offered this grant opportunity, and we’re so pleased to share that Shoreline applied and was awarded the full amount requested. These funds will help support and supplement programming for the Benefits Hub, a vital resource for our students. 

• Giving Table Silver Sponsor – $3,000. Their sponsorship helps make our Giving Table event a success, supporting vital fundraising efforts. 

We’re grateful for their partnership and look forward to continued collaboration in support of our students and community.
