More than 100 staff and faculty members gathered at the Shoreline Community College PUB with another 50 watching on live streaming video to see and hear President Cheryl Roberts speak to series of college projects and issues.
“Place matters,” Roberts said, adding that place includes physical and cultural attributes. “I’m often asked about what my vision is for Shoreline. It isn’t about vision, it’s about our vision.”
Among the items touched on by Roberts were:
During the question and answer period, Roberts was asked about her most memorable moments since assuming the presidency in August, 2014.
“I just feel so welcome here, some much a part of the college,” Roberts said. “It just feels so good to be here.”
In honor of Black History Month and the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, the Student Leadership Center has put together a fantastic exhibit in the PUB (9000 building) room 9203. Come check it out! This is part of a series of events organized as part of Shoreline’s annual Dr. MLK Jr. Celebration events.
Shoubee Liaw introduces Gov. Jay Inslee, April 29, 2014, at an event in the college Professional Automotive Training Center to announce his Carbon Emission Reduction Task Force.
Shoubee Liaw has resigned her position on the Board of Trustees for Shoreline Community College.
Liaw, who is also legislative assistant to Rep.Cindy Ryu, D-32nd Dist, cited the pressing needs of her position in Olympia in a letter read by Board Chair Tom Lux at the board’s regular meeting on Jan. 21, 2015.
“It is with great regret that I find that I cannot fulfill my duties as a trustee while the current Legislature is in session,” Liaw wrote. “As I will not be able to attend any Board meetings and other related College functions till the end of April, my resignation is immediate …
“It has been a great honor for me to have served on the Board of Trustees … I would like to thank Dr. Cheryl Roberts for taking on the leadership mantel of Shoreline Community College. I see the potential for an even greater college under her guidance.”
Lux said, “I’m sorry about Shoubee’s resignation. She was a very good asset to the board and the college.”
College President Cheryl Roberts said the resignation caught her by surprise. “Shoubee’s action is a noble thing because we do need a fully functioning board, but I’m in shock,” Roberts said.
Liaw’s resignation leaves Shoreline with two empty seats on the five-member board. The remaining trustees include Phil Barrett, Catherine D’Ambrosio and Lux. Former trustee Tayloe Washburn resigned his seat July, 7, 2014. In Washington, community college trustees are unpaid positons appointed by the governor and can serve two consecutive five-year terms.
Liaw has a long history with the college. She was first appointed as a trustee in the late ‘90s, serving for six years before leaving the board in 2002. She was again appointed in December, 2005 and reappointed in October, 2010. Liaw’s term was due to expire in September, 2015.
Upon her reappointment in 2010, Liaw said, “This is one of the greatest colleges in Washington State, poised to enter a new phase in its history, and I’m looking forward to playing a role in guiding this effort.”
Liaw has worked for the Shoreline Public Schools, the Seattle Public Schools and the state Department of Social and Health Services. In addition to service with numerous local organizations, she served as an officer for the state Trustees Association of Community and Technical Colleges and on that group’s Education and Awards committees and the Efficiency Bill Steering Committee. Liaw holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of Washington.
President Cheryl Roberts sent the following message via e-mail to all employees:
I’m inviting you to join me and others from our campus community from 12:30-1:30 p.m., Friday, Jan. 23, for an update on a number of important projects and issues that will need awareness and engagement from all of us.
We will squeeze a lot into an hour, including items that touch on the four areas of focus outlined by our Board of Trustees this past fall:
• Increasing Enrollment, Retention and Completion
• Leveraging Community Engagement
• Developing Human Resources and Physical/Technical Infrastructure
• Strategic Planning
We’ll talk about our response to recent incidents of intolerance and hate aimed at several student groups. And, we’ll touch on some pending work that you’ll begin to see around campus intended to make for a more comfortable and welcoming environment for students.
I’ll also speak briefly about what we might expect out of Olympia and our approach to our legislators.
As we have in the past, we’re planning to live-stream video of the event on our website. The video will also be immediately archived and available for viewing at the same address.
However, if you are available to attend, I would love to see you there.
Gratefully,
Cheryl
