This fall, Shoreline’s Student Life program kicked off a new Leadership Certificate Series aimed at preparing students to be more informed and engaged individuals, leaders, and citizens. Any student who participates in three of the fall quarter 2020 workshops will earn a Leadership Certificate they can put on their resume. Read more about the series on the College’s news blog.

The kickoff event happened on Oct. 1, with 15 students in attendance! There are still four events students can join. The series schedule is:

Civic Engagement Workshop 10/15
With support form the League of Women Voters, this non-partisan workshop will discuss the importance of staying civically engaged in community, state, and government politics. 

Identity Development Workshop 10/29
Students who attend this workshop will learn about their individual and intersecting identities and how they impact their perspectives, relationships, and experiences. 

Problem Solving Workshop 11/12
Problem-solving and critical thinking skills are incredibly valuable in our personal and professional lives. This event will give students an opportunity to hone those skills in a fun online format. 

Community Service Workshop 12/3
In the midst of all that is happening, it is more important than ever for us to think about how we can give back to our greater community. During this workshop, students will have an opportunity to give their time and energy to a community service project that will benefit a local non-profit organization. 

Students can learn more on Student Life’s Facebook page or by contacting Sundi Musnicki at smusnicki@shoreline.edu.

Student Life has several promotions happening for students over the next couple weeks. They’re intended to help keep students safe, get organized, and get engaged in civic duty – so, if staff and faculty could help spread the word, that’d be great! NOTE: promotions are open to current students only.

The Arts & Entertainment Board and Student Life are giving away free bullet journal kits to current students! To sign up, go to http://bit.ly/DIYjournals and fill out the form by Wednesday, Oct. 14 to request yours! Supplies are limited.

#whyivote contest
Associated Student Government (ASG) invites all current Shoreline students to share the reason why they are voting in the 2020 election. Send us a photo of yourself and a quote answering the following: “I Vote Because…” Send your response to smusnicki@shoreline.edu by Monday, Oct. 19 to be entered into the drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card.

Please Note: This is not an opportunity to express personal political views. We want to share the reasons why people exercise their right to vote, not who or what they vote for.

Dear Colleague,

Following up on our most recent budget-related Zoom Hall meeting on September 29, I wanted to share both the video recording and the written responses to the questions that we were not able to answer live during the meeting.

We will hold our next Zoom Hall meeting on Thursday, October 15 (1:30-3 p.m.). Please watch for the presentation slides to be provided to you a day in advance of the meeting, so that we can allow for more open time during the meeting for questions and answers. 

Respectfully,

Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.

President
