Hi everyone!  

The Fall scholarship window has closed. Next week we will start the evaluation process. If you are interested in being a scholarship reader/evaluator, please let Kara know at KHaney@shoreline.edu. 

Do you know a fundraiser or development person? We are still looking to fill our Annual Manager role. Refer a friend!! 

Kudos to the Financial Aid team – they awarded approximately $62,500.00 of donor funded FAFSA Gap money to 116 students! These funds helped cover student expenses like rent and childcare. A quick survey of other colleges in WA showed that only 1 other school provided this kind of assistance during the FAFSA delays. Thank you to our generous donors who help keep our students in school. 

I was out last week and didn’t get the chance to say “THANK YOU” to everyone who came out to the Mariners Game! What a fund night, and what a great ballgame! I can’t wait to try it again…Maybe the Kraken?

Printing Services   

Two updates:  

1) Due to the wired network restoration in Building 2000, Printing Services cannot complete print job requests through the Storefront portal at this time. Greg can make copies from hardcopy documents. Storefront services will be restored by Wednesday, August 28^th. 

2) Printing Services will be closed from Tuesday, September 3rd through Friday, September 6th and will reopen on Monday, September 9th.  

Please plan accordingly and contact Greg Jensen via email or phone at (206) 546-4674 if you need assistance with your printing needs. 

Facilities and Capital Projects 

Bayley Construction, the contractor for the Bracken (STEAM) Building, will need to shut down and relocate the building 2200 electrical switch gear.  There will be no electricity to buildings 1800, 1900, 2100, and 2300 starting at 5:30pm on Friday, 8/23 through 6:00am on Monday, 8/26.  The electrical switchgear will be back online, and power will be restored to these buildings by 6am on Monday, 8/26.  If any mechanical or electrical issues occur during this shutdown, Bayley has backup generators in place to supply power to these buildings on 8/26.  For Staff and Faculty that work in these buildings past 5:30pm on 8/23, please work with your supervisor to plan for either remote work or a different workspace on campus.  Please contact Kimberlee Clark, Director of Facilities and Capital Projects, if you have any questions. 

Technology Support Services (TSS) 

TSS would like to first thank everyone for your attention and participation in the Password Reset Process that was initiated last week.  Through this activity, we were able to complete very important background tasks necessary to move forward with many of our ongoing projects. We understand that some users were not prompted to reset their passwords, however over the next few weeks, you will be required to reauthenticate your Microsoft Office applications.  To avoid any potential issues TSS recommends that anyone who hasn’t reset their password during this reset process, please refer to the attachment in Jason Brandon’s 8/20/2024, 4:09 pm (approximate time) email to reset your password.  

TSS will be moving forward with additional printing options for the campus on Thursday (8/22). All employees will receive a Printing PIN code via email from ‘shorelinecc.ricohcopiers@shoreline.edu’ that will allow access to print out your documents from the Print Queue (please see example screenshot within Jason Brandon’s 8/20/2024, 4:09 pm (approximate time) email). Printing will then be capable by emailing your documents to the designated printer email address.  Direct printing from your device will also be activated for those that have been reconnected to the wired network. The printout can then be retrieved on any Ricoh printer across campus using your Printing PIN code. More information and instructions will be supplied on Thursday.

Events and News 

Hey folks hope all are well.  I can’t believe we are already at the end of the first week of August!  I was just chatting with Ryan Aiello about the closed Fridays that we enjoy—I hope folks are taking advantage of that time as much as possible. I feel like I have been doing too many “errands” and not enough interesting, so I need to change that up (i.e. tomorrow I am going to the dentist!). 

I had a couple great community meetings this week.  One was with the Shoreline Fire folks to discuss our recent collaboration.  Because of an increase in interest in emergency services, CECO, Workforce, and Continuing Education proactively partnered to create this opportunity (funded by combined efforts) and centered underrepresented students for enrollment (but open to all!). The battalion chief was very excited about this program and had some ideas about other possible partnerships as well (as did Michael Boehm).  I’m really looking forward to what develops. 

Another exciting meeting was with WSU Everett on strengthening some of our pathways.  It’s too early to report, but some cool ideas were shared, and I think some great opportunities are to come. 

Here is the link to this month’s President Update.

I think that’s it for this week– Looking forward to seeing some of you at the Mariners game tonight!  Woohoo! 

Cheers, 

Jack

Technology Support Services 

As part of the College’s cybersecurity enhancements resulting from the March 2022 Ransomware event and to comply with insurance underwriting requirements, here is an updated schedule of upcoming enhancements to help us continue to be good stewards of our employees’ and students’ information and data. The dates were pushed back from August 1st and August 15th due to Microsoft cloud server issues: 

• Tuesday, August 13th: we will be doing a campus-wide Password Reset and requiring “strong passwords” with minimum requirements of 12 characters, 1 capital letter, 1 number, 1 special character with password resets occurring every 180 days or 90 days if you have access to credit card numbers for PCI compliance. 

• Thursday, August 22nd: Printing Code Distribution to allow document printing over Wi-Fi via email to any campus-wide Ricoh Multi-Function Printer (MFP). Please note, this process is contingent on the successful completion of the August 13th password reset process.
