Sironka Show Poster-web.jpeg
Nicholas Sironka, a former Fulbright scholar, was born in Narok, in the Rift Valley province of Kenya.

Sironka teaches the techniques and history of Batik art, along with an understanding of traditional Maasai culture.

Through his artwork, Sironka is preserving the wisdom and the knowledge of Maasai traditions.

Although Batik is not of African origin, its roots as an indigenous fabric art are closely aligned with the spirit of simplicity and unity that Sironka is sharing with the world.

As a Maasai, Sironka is determined to portray his people’s culture truthfully, with dignity and beauty.

Success Coaching for the 2016-2017 school year

Hello from Success Coaching!

It has been great to see so many familiar and new faces on campus this week and we can feel the energy buzz settling in as the start to the quarter is right around the corner!

We’d like to remind you that Success Coaching is available for all students, that includes Fall Quarter! This 2016-2017 year we look forward to continuing to meet with students and support them towards their goals, identify and address barriers, and connect them to resources. Below is a brief description of what we do and more information can be found our webpage. Let us know if you have any questions and we look forward to continuing to partner with you throughout the 2016-2017 school year! *Please note our flyer below for your use.

Faculty have requested a statement about Success Coaching to be provided on their syllabi and we thank you for this opportunity! Please feel free to use the following statement:

Similar to coaching programs used by entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals, Shoreline Community College provides students with Success Coaching to help you develop and grow your academic skills. Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that works with you on study strategies, goal planning, time management, balancing life’s priorities, focus, motivation, and organization. Coaches also help you identify and connect to other resources. Coaching is not counseling, advising, or tutoring.

Thank you,
Nicki Sunwall, Student Success Coach & Erin Wilson, Online Student Success Coach
