DSHS is coming to Shoreline Community College!

Beginning July 24th, Shoreline Community College will be hosting a co-located DSHS representative from King North DSHS in the Workforce Education office. DSHS will be onsite every Wednesday and can assist with cash, food and childcare benefits as well as help direct students to community resources. This partnership will help Shoreline Community College focus on 3 goals: assist in student retention, have a direct link with the referring agency for a lot of our students and bring new students onto our campus. This is the first time that DSHS has co-located a staff member outside of their agency and it is a big honor to have them do it here at SCC. This is big news!

College officials get FEMA training

Interim President Daryl Campbell is leading a group of college officials at a three-day training session sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Joining Campbell are vice presidents James Jansen and Stephen Smith along with Jim Hills and Amy Stapleton from the Public Information Office.

The July 9-11 training, hosted at North Seattle Community College, is titled “Multi-Hazard Emergency Planning for Higher Education.” Safety and Security Director Robin Blacksmith and Asst. Director Edwin Lucero have previously taken the training that focuses on the appropriate organization and command structures and procedures in the event of an emergency.

“We’re taking this very seriously,” Campbell said. “This will provide the foundation for more emergency planning and training on campus. Hopefully, we won’t ever have to use this training, but we need to be ready.”

Campbell and the other attendees will be back on campus Friday, July 12.
