A message from President Roberts: Memorial Day Flag-Raising Ceremony TODAY
Dear Colleague,
I hope you enjoyed a relaxing holiday weekend with family and friends. The Memorial Day holiday is also a time to pay tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice during military service for the freedoms we enjoy.
Please join me today for our Memorial Day Flag-Raising Ceremony at the flagpole in front of Building 1000 at 12:30 p.m. to remember and honor the men and women who died in service to our country, and to show our appreciation for our students and employees who are veterans.
I am grateful to the Veterans’ Programs Office for providing this opportunity to come together to recognize the bittersweet sentiments of this holiday.
Gratefully,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

A message from President Roberts regarding the State capital and operating budgets
Dear Colleague,
We have just heard The Washington Federation of State Employees has indicated that its members may receive layoff notices over the coming days as a result of a lack of progress in Olympia regarding the 2017–19 biennial budget. The Executive Team is closely monitoring what is happening regarding progress on the state capital and operating budgets for community and technical colleges.
While we do expect the state capital and operating budgets to be enacted by the close of this fiscal biennium on June 30, 2017, if the budgets are not enacted by this date, the College is in a position to continue to fund salaries, benefits, and other critical expenses for a reasonable period of time. The College is dependent on appropriations from the state for a significant portion of its operations, however, we also have revenues from other sources to fund our operations for the interim, if necessary, until the budget is enacted by the legislature.
We want you to be aware of our situation at the College to help allay any concerns you may have about potential layoff notices for some members of the Washington Federation of State Employees. This notice does not affect our campus or our employees at this time. If you have questions, do not hesitate to ask Jerry Owens, Chief Shop Steward for the Classified Union or Stuart Trippel, Senior Executive Director and CFO.
Respectfully,
Cheryl
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
