Do you have an instructor that wants you to print a 40, 50 or 60 page document for use during the quarter?  You can cut that printing cost in half when to print on our black and white printers in both the student lab and the library.

Make sure to choose – “Print on Both Sides” – in the print menu.  Remember to add cash (bills only, no change or debit cards at the “Value Add” machines) and the copies are 2 cents per page of paper.  So you are really getting double for the money.

Be aware: the Color printer (at .50 cents a page) does NOT have a double side printing option.

Thanks, Deann – Student Lab Manager

Do you have the guts to risk your life and enter the Haunted House? Monsters and creatures at every corner trying to scare you away…

Trick or Treat!

It’s that time of year.  Our little goblins, princesses, super heroes, fairies, and classic characters will be ready to parade on Friday, Oct. 31 between 9:30-11 a.m.  In the past, various departments on campus have shared this exciting event with the children by offering treats for their goody bags.  There will be approximately 80 children, ranging from 6 weeks to 5 years old .  Some of the treats have been stickers, tooth brushes, pencils, etc.  If you should choose to do candy, please no hard candies or contain any nuts.

If your department would like a visit, please email Jocelyn.

Although the 2015-2016 Academic Year is more than 300 days away, planning for next year is rapidly approaching. If you are considering teaching an Inter-Disciplinary Studies (a.k.a. Learning Community) course in the 2015-2016 academic year, there is an informational meeting around planning and promoting IDS courses at 1:30 p.m. in room 9201 (in the PUB) on Thursday, November 6. Inter-Disciplinary Courses are organized around a common theme and are taught by two or more instructors from different disciplines.

Please contact Chip Dodd with any questions by phone (x4653) or email.

Please nominate a current or former student for the Trustees Association of Community and Technical Colleges (TACTC) Transforming Lives Awards.

The TACTC Transforming Lives Awards recognize current or former students whose lives have been transformed by attending a Washington State Community or Technical College (CTC).

One current or former student from each of the 34 Community and Technical Colleges will be nominated by the college’s Board of Trustees. From the nominations submitted by the campus community, the Shoreline Community College’s Board of Trustees will determine the college’s nominee and forward the individual’s name and the reasons the Board selected the individual, to the TACTC.

The TACTC will honor all 34 nominees at a Transforming Lives Awards Dinner, held in conjunction with the January 28, 2015 TACTC Legislative Contact Conference. The TACTC Awards Committee will select 5 winners from the 34 nominations. The 5 award winners will be the featured speakers at the January 28 Dinner and each of the 5 will also receive a monetary award in the amount of $500.

CRITERIA:
• The nominee may be either a current or former Washington community or technical college student who has completed or made significant progress toward completing a degree or certificate that has helped him/her prepare for or be successful in their future endeavors.

• The nominee must share a compelling story in written format (maximum 500 words) about overcoming barriers to achieve higher education goals and how the education and support received at his/her community or technical college was life transforming (e.g. new employment, self-sufficiency, etc.).

Please note: all student stories will be published in the Transforming Lives Booklet. The booklet is widely distributed to Legislators, CTC Stakeholders and the Public.

Please send all nominations to Lori Yonemitsu no later than 5 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 6, 2014.
