A message from President Roberts in remembrance of 9/11

September 9, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Dear Colleague,

Sunday marks the 15th anniversary of September 11th when close to 3,000 innocent souls fell victim to the worst and most senseless acts of terrorism against our nation. As we observe this Day of Remembrance, let us honor the memory of the victims and hold close, continued healing for their families and friends.

Let us also reflect upon the many acts of courage and compassion that occurred during and following this national tragedy. There will be graphic depictions on all forms of media of our World Trade Center and Pentagon under attack throughout the day, so please do take care of yourself and your family and friends as we solemnly observe the anniversary of this tragedy together.

In remembrance,

Cheryl

Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

Flu shot clinic is coming Wed., Sept. 21

September 7, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Shoreline will host a flu immunization clinic from 9 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 21, in Room 9202 PUB. Immunizations will be available by the Seattle Visiting Nurse Association for students, faculty, and staff.

The association can bill most major health insurance plans – Regence, Premera, Group Health, United Healthcare, Molina, Community Health plan, Coordinated Care, and Aetna – for the flu immunizations. They do not bill Cigna, Kaiser, or TriCare. In order to process the billing, those receiving a flu shot must complete a patient consent form, which includes name, address, date of birth, and individual insurance subscriber number.

For those without insurance, the shots are $28, which can be paid in cash or check. Credit or debit cards are not accepted.

More information about vaccinations is available on this flyer and at www.cdc.gov/flu.

According to health officials, in addition to vaccination, personal preventative measures are among the most effective in preventing getting and spreading diseases such as the flu. Recommendations include:

  • Practice good hygiene
    • Wash hands with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand cleaners. When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or use your elbow or shoulder, not into your hands. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
  • Know the signs and symptoms
    • Look for signs of fever, such as feeling very warm, a flushed appearance, and sweating or shivering. A fever is a temperature taken with a thermometer that is equal to or greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius.

Ongoing efforts by the college to promote flu awareness and health include:

  • Posting informational posters about hand-washing and germ-containment practices in all restrooms
  • Keeping restrooms well-stocked with soap and paper towels
  • Using good custodial practices, including:
    • Complete restroom cleaning
    • Disinfectant wipe-downs of door handles
    • Spray disinfectant for commonly touched surfaces

The college website has additional information about measures in place regarding infectious diseases.

Please pass the word along to students that Tutoring Services will be CLOSED this Thurs., Sept. 8 and Fri., Sept. 9 due to the absence of both the Program Manager and Coordinator. Students seeking information or hoping to apply for tutoring can do so online at our website.

We will reopen on Mon., Sept. 12, with our normal fall hours of operation:

Mon.-Thurs. 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Fri. 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Please note that these hours may be somewhat variable during opening week (September 14-20) as the Program Manager and Coordinator participate in opening week activities, and we expect to be closed for most of Wed., Sept. 14 to engage with our campus colleagues at the Convocation Day events.

At this time, we are still operating out of 1103, but we will notify you all when we make that transition.

Sincerely,
Karin A. Heffel Steele

Parking alert for Thurs., Sept. 8

September 6, 2016 by Leave a Comment

The Overcoming Barriers to Employment Summit for Job Seekers with Disabilities is being held on campus from 8 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. on Thurs., Sept. 8. This is being hosted by Shoreline Community College in conjunction with several community partners.

As many of the participants in this summit have mobility issues (including some guest speakers and vendors), parking has been secured for them in the staff lot immediately adjacent to the visitor parking lot on the south side of campus. On the morning of Sept. 8 only, some staff may find parking in their preferred lot to be fuller than usual and may need to relocate to an adjacent lot.

Your cooperation with this important community event is appreciated.
