May 13, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Shoreline’s Office of Special Services (OSS)
and the Library are proud to bring you
Disability History Exhibit
(This week only May 11-15, 2015).
The Disability History Exhibit is a 22-panel collage that traces 3,000 years of seldom-told history. From antiquity to the present, the exhibit brings viewers through an illustrated timeline that shows society’s attitudes and how they affect the lives of people with disabilities. Viewers experience powerful feelings as they notice similarities between ancient practices and modern stereotypes. The exhibit is accessible at many levels, striking a balance between easily grasped information and a comprehensive history viewed from multiple angles. The website, with accessible content of the displays, can be found here.
This display was brought to campus by the Library and OSS, which houses Disability Services for Students (SSD). Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We are located in the FOSS Building room 5226, and can be reached via phone at 206-546-4545 or via email at oss@shoreline.edu. We hope you have an opportunity to go see this beautiful, touching and shocking display.
Please send comments or questions about the exhibit to kcook@shoreline.edu. Thank you for your interest in the Disability History Exhibit.

We’re having a retirement celebration for Kerry Fondren, Confidential Assistant to the Vice President for Academic & Student Affairs on Thurs., June 4 from 3-4:30 p.m. in the Board Room in the Admin bldg., Room 1010M.
Well we’ll be darned! Seams that Kerry had a notion to retire. She’s kept us pieced together and in stitches for many years. Now she’ll presser foot on the gas and spend her days bobbin around her favorite quilting shops. We will miss her SEW much! ~Julie Bathke
New summer hours schedule starts June 15
May 11, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Shoreline Community College will adjust to summer public operating hours starting Monday, June 15 and running through Friday, Sept. 4.
Starting on June 15, the official college hours of business will be 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Thursday. On Fridays, the hours will be 8 a.m. to noon. The campus will close at noon on Fridays for public and student services. On Sept. 7, following the Labor Day holiday, the campus will return to the regular schedule, which is 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on Friday.
“This adjustment will allow the college to continue to serve our students and communities while also allowing our terrific employees an opportunity to balance their work and their lives outside of the college,” President Cheryl Roberts said.
The Fourth of July-week schedule will require an adjustment. Because the holiday falls on a Saturday, most college employees get the day off on Friday, July 3. During that week, June 29-July 2, most employees will work four, eight-hour shifts.
The schedule change won’t impact classes, which are generally not scheduled on Fridays during Summer Quarter. For 2015, Summer Quarter starts June 22 and ends Aug. 13.
To maintain a 40-hour work week, the schedule for most employees will be “four nines and a four,” said Stephen P. Smith, Vice President for Human Resources and Legal Affairs. “The summer schedule will allow most employees to work nine hours each day, Monday through Thursday, four hours on Friday and then be off for the weekend,” he said.
Smith noted that some departments such as the Parent-Child Center and Safety and Security will continue with their regular academic year schedules based on business needs. For all other areas of the college prior to June 15, employees and supervisors will work together to finalize summer schedules that ensure department needs are fully met with adequate staff coverage during the official business hours of the College and that alternative schedules don’t create additional costs.
“We want employees to take advantage of this ‘four nines and a four’ opportunity whenever possible,” Smith said. “We must also make sure the college continues to operate effectively and efficiently.”
