October 22, 2015 by Leave a Comment

fixed
In honor of Disability Employment Awareness Month, the Office of Special Services (OSS) is working to raise awareness of disabilities by offering a movie screening of FIXED.

FIXED Mon., Oct. 26 from 1-3 p.m. (movie is 60 minutes, with a discussion afterwards for those who can stay) in room 1504.

What is FIXED about??

A haunting, subtle, urgent documentary, FIXED questions commonly held beliefs about disability and normalcy by exploring technologies that promise to change our bodies and mind forever. Told primarily through the perspectives of five people with disabilities: a scientist, journalist, disability justice educator, bionics engineer and exoskeleton test pilot, FIXED takes a close look at the implications of emerging human enhancement technologies for the future of humanity.

Check out the trailer here.

Please contact the Office of Special Services if you have questions or would like to schedule a discussion of the topic or a showing of the movie in your class.

Kathy Cook, Associate Dean

October 22, 2015 by Leave a Comment

SCCFT AFTWA Local 1950 will recognize Part-Time Faculty at Shoreline Community College during Part-Time Equity Week by hosting a table in the PUB Lobby, 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Mon., Oct. 26 through Thurs., Oct. 29.

We wish to say “Thank you” to our Part-Time Faculty and to take this nationally recognized week as an informational/educational opportunity to raise awareness across campus of the inequities faced by part-time faculty, while at the same time recognizing their contributions, talents and presence on campus.  There will be a mini test to see what the campus community knows about part-time faculty, posters with facts/statistics, information about the rights a part-time faculty has under the SCCFT Bargaining Agreement, and offer a few pre-Oct. 31 candy treats.

Please stop by our table in the PUB Lobby, 9000 bldg., and/or volunteer to staff the table for 30 minutes or an hour.  Elizabeth Hanson has a sign-up sheet with some openings. Please email her at elhanson@shoreline.edu or stop by her office 5303 to sign up.

Avenue Q Opens This Fri., Oct. 23!

October 21, 2015 by Leave a Comment

Ave Q
Get your tickets for Shoreline’s Theater Department’s presentation of Avenue Q – opening this Fri., Oct. 23 and running through Nov. 1. This laugh-out-loud show is “an autobiographical and biographical coming-of-age parable, addressing and satirizing the issues and anxieties associated with entering adulthood” – as told by puppets!

One of the longest-running Broadway shows, Avenue Q is the winner of the TONY® “TRIPLE CROWN” for BEST MUSICAL, BEST SCORE and BEST BOOK. Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart. This musical tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named PRINCETON who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. There, he meets KATE (the girl next door), ROD (the Republican), TREKKIE (the internet sexpert), LUCY THE SLUT (need we say more?), and other colorful types who help PRINCETON finally discover his purpose in life!

Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention puppets, Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere. Although the show addresses humorous adult issues, it is similar to a beloved children’s show; a place where puppets are friends, Monsters are good and life lessons are learned. That said, it’s not recommended for minors under the age of 15.

Selling out fast – Get your tickets here now!
