memorial day 2.jpeg
Many veterans have a hard time adjusting to normal life when they return from war. Post-traumatic stress disorder and suicidal thoughts can plague their daily activities.

What makes this process particularly difficult is the “tribe-like” mentality of soldiers during war. They spend all of their time together, they work together, they feed together, and they hunt together. When they return to “individualist societies,” the support of their comrades is lost. Author Sebastian Junger (Tribe, War) will appear in conversation with KUOW military and veteran reporter Patricia Murphy for a discussion of this re-entry process, and how ordinary citizens can ease this transition. As Junger suggests, perhaps if everyone recognizes and embraces the distinct tribes or groups they’re affiliated with, it could shed light on the nation’s problems when it comes to feelings of belonging.

Wed., June 1
Movie Screening and Discussion
That Which I Love Destroys Me
2:30-4:30 p.m., Room 1402
memorial day 3
That Which I Love Destroys Me is a unique and powerful film by director Ric Roman Waugh. TWILDM is an uncensored look at the current epidemic of PTSD and severe mental trauma that create tremendous challenges for returning service members. A five-year labor of love, TWILDM followed two Special Operations Soldiers as they returned home after fighting in the longest combat campaign in American history only to face a new battle; the effects and stigma of PTSD and reintegration as a whole. But more importantly, the documentary addresses how they’re overcoming these issues.

Our sincere thanks for your continued support of our student veterans and our program.  We hope to see you there!

Reminder: Summer operating hours begin June 20th

May 26, 2016 by Leave a Comment

In just a few short weeks, Shoreline Community College will adjust to summer public operating hours, which are in effect Monday, June 20th through Friday, September 2nd.

Starting on Monday, June 20th, the official college hours of business will be 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Thursday. On Fridays, the hours will be 8 a.m. to noon. The campus will close at noon on Fridays for public and student services. On September 5th following the Labor Day holiday, the campus will return to the regular schedule, which is 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 8 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. on Friday.

“This adjustment will allow the college to continue to serve our students and communities while also allowing our terrific employees an opportunity to balance their work and their lives outside of the College,” President Cheryl Roberts said.

To maintain a 40-hour work week, the schedule for most employees will be “four nine-hour days Monday through Thursday and one four-hour day on Fridays,” said Stephen Smith, Vice President for Human Resources and Legal Affairs. “The summer schedule will allow most employees to be off for the weekend by noon on Friday,” Smith added. Smith also noted that for the week of July 4th, a Monday holiday this year, full-time Classified employees will need to work 32 hours Tuesday through Friday by Noon of that week.

Smith noted that some departments, such as the Parent-Child Center, Safety and Security, and Facilities will continue with their regular academic year schedules based on business needs. For all other areas of the college, the deadline for employees to confirm an appropriate schedule for their position with their supervisor was May 20, 2016. Any employees who have not already confirmed a summer schedule with their supervisor should do so as soon as possible. Appropriate schedules will ensure departmental needs are fully met with adequate staff coverage during the official business hours of the College and that alternative schedules don’t create additional costs.

“We want employees to enjoy the opportunity for our schedule flexibility when practical,” Smith said. “We also share responsibilities to fulfill our shared mission by ensuring college services are available, accessible, and meeting the needs of our current and future students.”

For questions, please contact the Office of Human Resources at scchr@shoreline.edu or 206-546-4769.

May 26, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Dear Campus Community,

Thank you for participating in our Campus Update meeting last Friday, May 20. We heard many important questions and comments which will help the Steering Committee sponsors refine their work over this summer. By fall, we will be ready to roll out Steering Committee membership, frequency of meetings, and timelines to reach goals in 2016–17. (If you were unable to attend the meeting last Friday, the video is posted online for your review.)

The handout from Friday’s meeting lists the Steering Committees open for participation and outlines the application process. The online application will be available at www.shoreline.edu/spsteering from June 1 through September 23. Your participation is a clear demonstration of the “intentional inclusion” we have established in Goal 3 of Shoreline Community College’s Strategic Plan. Thank you again!

Cheryl
