Typically held during the last week of September we will meet in front of the Library at 12:30. This event highlights the value of free and open access to information, the cornerstone of education.  We will gather to read some passages from some of the commonly banned or challenged books that impacted us.  Feel free to come with a passage to read.

Lindsay Cael is the new Manager of Tutoring Services and Tech Prep.

“I’m excited to be here and looking forward to getting to know you and learning all about how Shoreline operates,” Cael said. “For several years, I managed the ESL, GED and ABE Division at Seattle Central College.  Prior to that, I worked at the King County Jail and taught basic-education classes as well as coordinated a volunteer tutoring program.  I also have experience in crisis counseling, student advising and working with community partners.”

The tutoring-services program offers the opportunity for all transfer, professional/technical, ESL, ABE and GED students to get a tutor for up to two hours a week for each class they are taking.  If a student is registered with the Office of Special Services (OSS), they may qualify for extra tutoring time.  The tutoring offices are in rooms 5216 and 5217. Requests are now being accepted for student tutoring. Requests need to include a copy of the student’s fall 2014 class schedule.

“We are also accepting applications for paid student-tutor positions,” Cael said.”If a student wants to be a tutor, they need to have received a 3.5 or higher GPA in the course(s) to be tutored. Tutor applicants need to bring college transcripts. Please encourage your qualified students to stop by and apply.”

One Pint of Blood

One pint of blood is all it takes,

But many of us wonder if this is a mistake.

One pint of blood – is that too much?

One pint of blood is equal to two cups.

As long as you re-hydrate, you’ll start right back up!

One pint of blood every 56 days,

Three lives can be saved – are you amazed?

One pint of blood is all we need

Would you like to join us for this good deed?

Please continue to help us by donating to the Puget Sound Blood Center – the need for blood never ends. The blood drive will be in the PUB quiet dining room on Tuesday, Sept. 30 from 10-4 p.m. (with a lunch break from 12-1). Don’t wait, sign up now before your preferred time slot is taken! Photo I.D. required to donate

Thank you so much to everyone who is planning to give! Come join us and be part of the “save lives” club.

Shoreline is hosting a museum of the college’s first 50 years on campus in the Fishbowl. On September 22, there was a ribbon cutting and reception to celebrate the grand opening.

The museum has photos, articles and memorabilia from over the years on display. The Student Leadership Center collected items for the museum and set everything up. The museum will be in the Fishbowl for at least a month, so make sure to stop by and check everything out!
