Fiscal Year-End Close Process & Deadline Memo

Cast Your Vote to Name the College

Over the past few months, we’ve discussed the possibility of changing our name from Shoreline Community College to Shoreline College. This has come up in meetings and conversations across campus, and we’ve appreciated the thoughtful feedback so many of you have already shared.

A college’s name is more than a title—it reflects our identity, our mission, and the direction we’re heading. As we consider this potential change, we want to be sure that it reflects who we are and who we aspire to be.

Many colleges across the state and country have made similar updates to better reflect their identity and offerings. But a change like this is significant, and it’s essential that we consider it carefully. This is not a decision we take lightly, and your voice is essential to the process.

We’ve put together a brief survey that outlines some of the key reasons people support or oppose the change. We hope you’ll take a few minutes to review these perspectives and share your thoughts.

Please submit your response by 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 24, 2025.
