Calling all staff, faculty, and administrators who are not planning to walk at the 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 for the reception that follows on Sunday, June 5th. Ushers are also asked to attend the beginning of the rehearsal on Friday, June 3rd at 1:30 p.m. to listen to a short talk by Robin Blacksmith, Director 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. You 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

The purpose of Yvonne’s visit is for her to learn about Shoreline’s key projects and future plans related to student success. In her two days here, Yvonne will engage in conversations with faculty and staff from instruction and student services. As our AHE coach, she can apply her wealth of experience and expertise to help us enhance and support our student success efforts. Yvonne’s visit provides an excellent opportunity for us to reflect on the work we have accomplished over the year and how to move forward even more effectively.

J&CS SPRING WORKSHOPS - 2016

SAVE THE DATE: Spring Quarter Campus Community Update on Fri., May 20

After months of work by hundreds of members of the campus and the community-at-large, our Strategic Plan is ready to roll out. Please join me and members of the Executive Team for a Campus Community Update on Friday, May 20, 2016 from 2:00 – 3:30 PM in the PUB’s Main Dining Room. 

The work ahead involves gathering baseline data, researching best practices, and creating the annual plans to reach the five (5) year goals we have identified in our 2016 – 2021 Strategic Plan.  This will require new and some existing committees to recommend work through a shared planning and participatory structure.

At the May 20 Campus Community Update, we will:
• Outline the principles of the work ahead, describe the new Steering Committees, and give you an advance look at the structures and work to begin in the fall.

Your ongoing work is producing great results and the Executive Team and I will highlight some of those successes.

Folding together the current work we have been successfully doing, with the new and continuing work demanded by the Strategic Plan, will ensure our students’ achievement as we work together.

I look forward to seeing you on Friday, May 20 for this interactive conversation as we roll out the next chapter of our Strategic Plan.
