You’re invited to talk about climate change with Michael Foster of 350.org

The campus community is invited to attend a two-day lecture by Michael Foster of 350.org, one of the major organizations fighting against global warming. Michael will be speaking to two English 101 classes on Monday and Tuesday, May 9 and 10, at 7:30 am and 8:30 am in Room 1727. Faculty are welcome to bring their classes.

Please RSVP to Nancy Eichner at neichner@shoreline.edu if you plan to attend so that we can ensure the space is big enough to accommodate everyone.

A little about Michael Foster: He has an excellent Power Point presentation and connects well with students. He is a clinical psychologist by trade, but has devoted himself to the anti-global warming struggle for several years. One of his major accomplishments has been to establish and direct the local Plant for the Planet group, an international organization begun a few years ago by a nine-year-old from Germany. Michael has been trained in presenting to groups about climate change by Al Gore’s foundation.

The first day of Michael’s presentation will be about the climate change situation—a survey of global warming causes and effects. The second day focuses on solutions.

We hope to see you May 9 and 10 – please remember to rsvp to neichner@shoreline.edu if you can make it!

A message from President Roberts

Please schedule and plan to attend an important meeting with the campus community and me this week, Friday, April 15, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. in the Automotive Showroom (Room 2120).

Before my announcement of the “failed search” for the recruitment of the Executive Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs (EVP-ASA), I carefully considered my options for filling the position. At the meeting on Friday, I will discuss my decision with the College and indicate how we will move forward to fill the EVP-ASA position. My decision was informed both by our recently completed search process and my further review of candidates who have the abilities to provide the leadership we require in this position.

Sincerely,
Cheryl
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
