Earth Week events for Fri., April 21 & Sat., April 22

April 20, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Earth Week activities for Fri., April 21:

Information booths & community groups in the PUB courtyard
10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Informational tables in the PUB Courtyard highlighting Earth Week events, reasons for removing invasive plants, Environmental Club activities, the progress of the campus Rain Garden, Tree Campus USA recognition, and SCOF promoting cafeteria recycling and ADA issues.

Campus-wide fruiting ivy removal, (meet in PUB courtyard and disperse from there)
12:30-3:30 p.m.
Please join us for a volunteer opportunity to participate in campus-wide fruiting ivy removal.

This is an all-volunteer effort to remove fruiting ivy from our campus planting beds during Earth Week 2017. Birds love to eat ripe ivy berries, which they then spread throughout the region into our yards and greenbelts causing major damage to both our personal and public spaces. Ivy is an extremely damaging plant once it becomes aerial and should be eradicated from our ecosystem.

We’ll meet in the PUB courtyard at 12:30 p.m. and disperse from there.

Earth Week activities for Sat., April 22:

Native Plant Restoration, Meet in campus parking lot east of the Track/Soccer field
9:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
All participants are welcome to join us for our annual Earth Day restoration event in the North Woods at Shoreline Community College. We will be removing invasive plants including ivy, laurel, holly, and blackberries, all of which are particularly bad because they produce huge amounts of berries and can reroot as their branches touch the ground. We will be planting a variety of native ground covers, shrubs, and trees. Gloves and tools will be provided, but if you have your own please bring them. Wear close-toed shoes or boots, layers of clothes, a raincoat if needed, and a hat. Also bring water.

We will meet in the campus parking lot just East of the Track/Soccer field. The restoration itself will take place in the North Woods of campus behind the Track/Soccer field.

Calling all staff: Volunteers needed for Commencement Ceremony 2017

April 20, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Call for Volunteers – faculty, staff, and administrators who are not planning to walk at the 2017 Commencement Ceremony

This is an exciting time of year for our students. It takes the efforts of many to put on Commencement, so I am putting out a call for volunteers to serve as ushers as well as others to help set up before and/or clean up after the reception that follows the ceremony on Sun., June 11. Ushers are also asked to attend the beginning of the rehearsal on Fri., June 9 at 1:30 p.m. to listen to a short talk by Edwin Lucero, Acting Supervisor of Safety and Security. The time commitment on Sunday would be approximately 3-4 hours. Classified staff can earn overtime pay or work with their supervisors to flex the time later in the week.

Show your continued support for students by helping them celebrate this special day in their lives. If you are planning to volunteer, please email Nancy Marshall directly at nmarshall@shoreline.edu with “Call for Volunteers” in the subject line and what you would like to do to help out. Those who volunteer will hear back from me soon with more details about Commencement Day itself. If you have questions, please feel free to call me at (206) 546-4641.

Many thanks,
Nancy Marshall
Dean of Students Office
