May is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Check out These Fantastic Calendar Offerings

April 30, 2024 by Leave a Comment

Throughout May, the WAVES Program coordinated a series of events and activities to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month, and we extend a warm invitation to all students, staff, and faculty of the Shoreline Community College family to join in. These events are not only opportunities for us to learn more about AAPI cultures but also to foster greater understanding, unity, and inclusivity within our workplace.

Here’s a glimpse of what’s in store:

  • Cultural Workshops
  • Guest Speaker Series
  • Film Screening
  • Celebratory Events

There are many more events happening on campus in May, so please look at the AAPI Heritage Month Calendar and save these dates! 

We encourage all to partake in these events and celebrate AAPI Heritage Month with us. Let’s embrace this chance to learn, grow, and appreciate the diversity that enriches Shoreline Community College.

This is a flyer highlighting a number of activities happening throughout the month, more to come individual posts.

Campus Updates 4/26/25

Events and News 

Hello all—wow what a week! 

The accreditation visit went extremely well. Thank you to all who attended the “exit” presentation late Friday afternoon. The excitement in the room was palpable as the accreditation team shared their comments. The team commented on nearly every aspect of the College- from the report itself, our beautiful grounds, the hard work faculty and staff have put in to focus on data and learning outcomes, our awesome deans—really seeing how this work involves all of us to move forward and continue to shift our focus to planning, use of data and outcomes.     

Consider this one of many thank yous from me. Everyone really took this to the next level! 

Next Steps: 

  1. They have sent Dr. Ann and me a draft report to allow us to comment on any factual errors 
  1. We will get an official report from them (with corrections if appropriate) within a month 
  1. They will send a confidential recommendation to the commission about our accreditation status 
  1. The commission meets in late June and votes on our status  
  1. We hear within one month of that meeting 

So exciting. 

Another exciting update: Due to the great teamwork of Dr. Lucas Rucks, Derek Levy, David Berner, Chippi Bello and the enrollment services team, Shoreline Community College is now a preferred partner and Amazon will market their Pathways Program (Clean Energy) and the Career Choice program (all our programs) in their employee dashboard. 

Finally, just to let you know it is that time of the year when ET is going through innovation grant requests, budget adjustment requests, and staff prioritizations to help prepare for next year’s budget. I will keep you posted and of course share the results when complete. Thanks to all of you who have contributed ideas and suggestions. As was the case last year, we are limited in resources and will only be able to work within the parameters of those resources but will do so within the guidelines suggested by the Strategic Planning Budget Council and with the new Strategic Plan in mind.  

Happy Passover to those who celebrate! 

Cheers, 

Jack
