Holiday Message from President Roberts

Dear Colleague,

Labor Day has been celebrated the first Monday in September for over 100 years. It was created  to honor the role our workforce plays in supporting the economic and social well-being of our country.

As we celebrate Labor Day with family and friends this weekend, I want to recognize each of you. You create the outstanding Shoreline experience every day that our diverse students and communities have come to expect. As we turn our attention to fall term, I hope you will take a moment to relax and remember with pride all the accomplishments you’ve achieved, both individually and together!

Enjoy a safe and fun holiday weekend! I am looking forward to the work we create together this academic year!

Cheryl

To facilitate the needs of students and their families in preparing for the new quarter, parking on campus will be free Sept. 12-21. No fees are required to park Sept. 12-21, and no citations will be issued for not paying parking fees. We ask that visitors to campus do still park in the appropriate parking areas during this period of free parking. If you know any students who still need to register for classes, let them know to take advantage of the free parking and come on down to campus to get registered now!

Safety & Security will post signage on the parking machines on Free Parking Days.

Chief Justice Charles Smith, father of Stephen Smith, passes

August 31, 2016 by 1 Comment

Dear Colleague,

It is with much sadness that I share news of the passing of Charles Z. Smith, father of Stephen Smith, Vice President of Human Resources and Legal Affairs.

Chief Justice Charles Smith broke ground as Washington’s first African-American state trial judge and Supreme Court justice. He worked for more than 50 years as an attorney and served as an associate dean of the UW School of Law, where he graduated and later taught. Throughout his legal career, he worked tirelessly for causes of social justice and human rights.

The Smith family said in a statement, he “lived an exemplary life founded on the three pillars of truth, justice, and freedom,” adding that “his legacy extends beyond his family to the larger community that he mentored and served.”

He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Eleanor M. Smith, four children, six grandchildren, and four siblings. Funeral details are pending.

Please keep Stephen and his family in your heart and thoughts as they cope with this deep loss.

In support,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
