veterans presentation
Please join the Veterans Programs office for the first in a series of training opportunities next Wed., Oct. 21 from 2-3 p.m. in room 1402 entitled: How Transitioning Service Members and Veterans View the Classroom…and You. Please attend and lets learn how we can best serve Veterans on campus together!!

Shoreline Community College, Navy Veterans Mike Schindler – CEO of Operation Military Family and Steve Vincent, Captain United States Navy (retired), will share “insider thoughts” on how transitioning service member and their families often look to college as their “next mission” in order to better themselves for life in the civilian world. But the classroom environment can often be more “foreign” than field missions.

You will walk away from this training with a better understanding of what Veterans experience through the transition process and what perceptions they often have to overcome as well as determine how the skills and experiences of a military/veteran family can add value to your classroom – you also may just learn what expectations a Veteran has of you…the leader of the classroom.

Plan to attend. The event is free and refreshments will be available (those are free too). Please register in advance here.

On Wed., Oct. 14, Patxi’s Pizza will donate 10% of the ENTIRE DAY’S Sales to North City Cooperative Preschool (NCCP), a preschool under the Shoreline Community College Parent Child Center umbrella. Please support us by dining at Patxi’s or placing a to-go, delivery or catering order on our fundraiser day!

1. PRE-ORDER MEALS for pick-up and delivery. Don’t forget that the entire menu, including bottled wine and beer, is available for pick-up and delivery.
2. LUNCHTIME DINING: Since dinner time gets so crowded at Patxi’s, lunchtime is a great time to gather a group to dine together. After dining, encourage your group to order half-baked pizzas to take home for another meal.
3. HAPPY HOUR: Organize a happy hour at Patxi’s with friends or colleagues.
4. PEAK HOURS: Dinner-time from 6-8:30pm is the busiest time at Patxi’s. We encourage reservations for large parties. We also do Pre orders: this is when the guest can call ahead and order a deep if they are going to be in a hurry or have small children or just don’t want to have to wait the 40 minutes for a deep pizza. After dining, order extra and take home half-baked pizza for another meal. Bottles of wine can also be purchased for take-out.

By signing up for Patxi’s VIP rewards program you will get a FREE appetizer on your event date for joining!

“Octavia’s Brood” Community Read Kick Off Event Wed., Oct. 14

October 13, 2015 by Leave a Comment

octavias brood
This year’s Community Reads book, Octavia’s Brood, is a science-fiction/fantasy anthology inspired by the work of Octavia Butler and focused on themes of social justice (in many planes of time).

To kick off this semester’s community read, we’re hosting an Introduction to Octavia’s Brood event this Wed., Oct. 14 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. on the third floor of the library. Refreshments will be served. We’re going to display a webpage for community reads containing many resources for anyone interested in the book. We’re encouraging students, staff and faculty to attend and learn more about this book and the activities that will be planned around it in the coming year.

We’re hoping to get some students at the kick off interested in the topics of social justice, science fiction and creative writing to get involved with the book group portion for next quarter. We’re also hoping to get more staff and faculty involved in the read itself. If you’ve ever been interested in any of the above spread the word and we hope to see you there!
