Dr. Guy Hamilton named Dean of Math, Sciences, and Engineering

May 4, 2016 by 1 Comment

guy hAfter a competitive search, Dr. Guy Hamilton has been named Dean of Science, Math, and Engineering at Shoreline Community College. Hamilton has been the Acting Dean since 2015.

“I am genuinely excited to be the Dean of Science, Math, Engineering, Clean Technology, & Manufacturing,” said Hamilton. “As a tenured faculty member for twelve years, I have always considered myself fortunate to work at Shoreline with a fantastic group of colleagues who supported my growth as an instructor. I look forward to supporting them as a Dean to ensure that our students have the best opportunity for success.”

Hamilton, who joined Shoreline’s faculty in 2003, holds a Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Oregon. In his time here, Hamilton has served on numerous boards and committees including Faculty Senate Council, College Council, and the Strategic Planning and Budget Council. He also held positions as Biotechnology Program Chair and Biology Program Chair.

Hamilton has been instrumental in bringing local high school students and instructors to Shoreline’s campus through Project Biotech Camps and the Amgen Biotech Experience. Hamilton also participated in planning the NSF ATE Dolan DNA Learning Center/Cold Spring Harbor “Genomic Approaches in Biotechnology” workshop, a professional development workshop for college and high school teachers.

“Guy has proven to be an invaluable part of our dean team here at Shoreline,” said President Cheryl Roberts, “and we are beyond thrilled that he will continue in a leadership role as dean of the Math, Sciences, and Engineering division. We can’t wait to see where his passion and dedication to students takes us.”

Thank you to everyone who participated in the search process. Hamilton’s new role as Dean of Math, Sciences, and Engineering will take effect immediately.

Get Ready, Take Action online training

May 3, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Get Ready – Take Action, Shoreline Community College’s All-Hazards Emergency Response Training is available online.

Robin Blacksmith worked with the college eLearning Department to create an online class using the Canvas learning management system, the same technology used by college faculty. Putting the training online makes the class available for all employees to take when it is convenient for them.

Those unfamiliar with Canvas and how to find a class in the system can go to www.shoreline.edu/elearning/canvas.aspx for instructions on how to login.

This training has been broken up into learning modules, to be completed one at a time, in order. Completing all the training should take a total of approximately 90 minutes. The training can be started and stopped to be completed later. After completing a module, you may log off and return at a later time to continue on to the next module and your work will be saved.

After the required modules are finished, an optional survey is available to provide feedback and help improve the learning experience.

“A number of people who have already taken the class have asked if they can take it again as a refresher,” Blacksmith said. The answer is ‘yes,’ (with supervisory approval) and the online version helps to address those that would like a refresher.

Shoreline Community College’s goal is to have all employees complete the required training.
