February 25, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Shoreline Math Olympiad is being held on Shoreline’s campus again this year on Sat., March 12. from 8 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. This is a great community event that brings hundreds of students and their parents to our campus. Volunteer proctors are still needed!  

Training is provided the morning of the event, and volunteers do not need to know anything about math. Volunteers may be called on to read some mental math questions aloud, so volunteers do need to be able to speak in clear English. The grades of the children participating are grades 4th – 8th, and each testing room will have at least 2 proctors assigned to work as a team.

We are expecting over 700 students and need more than 50 proctors. Can you join us?  Contact Shelley Anderson at sj_anderson@yahoo.com for more information.

andrew fallat poster
Join us for an artist’s reception with Andrew Fallat to celebrate his solo show: “The Banal in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.” The show is housed in the Admin bldg (1000) art gallery now through March 4.

The reception celebration will include collaboration with English and Writing students from Shoreline Community College, who will share writing inspired by Fallat’s work at the reception.

About the show:
Through the exploration of kinetic systems and phenomena, Andy Fallat’s work focuses on the condensation of a narrative into an three dimensional object. Building machines and sculptures that are slightly above human scale, he calls attention to our place within a system. Fallat creates creatures and interactive situations with industrial and classically sculptural processes that question our relationships to them and each other.

The work presented in this exhibit is a series of sculptures and low reliefs. They are machines that imitate life. The hope, fear, and complexity that Fallat finds on walks around his neighborhood. It is a shrub as potent as its cousin the mighty spruce. They are lines that become form and patterns that mute shape. It is what happens when two things point to the same mark.

Intramural Personal Training, Athletics bldg., room 3007
Thurs., Feb. 25: 6-6:50 p.m.
Come get free, hands-on training to help you reach your fitness goals.

Each year a new book is selected for our Community Book Read. Together we share our impressions and ideas. Weekly analyses of the text are led by a variety of college volunteers, bringing with them their unique backgrounds, expertise and perspectives. This keeps the discussion fresh, lively and relevant.

This year’s book is Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movements. Octavia’s Brood is a collection of social justice-themed science fiction stories that feature things like time travel, shape shifting, dystopian worlds, re-imaginings of “model minorities” and the possibilities of using visionary fiction to develop new ideas of future worlds. The works are inspired by the writings of Octavia Butler, an award-winning science fiction writer (Kindred, Parable of the Sower, and Lilith’s Brood) who lived in Lake Forest Park before her death in 2006.

• Full-blown eating disorders typically begin between 18 and 21 years of age (Hudson, 2007).
