Campus Security Update: Vandalism Discovered on Campus this Morning 2/1/24

Good morning,

At approximately 5am this morning Campus Security discovered vandalism on several buildings across the East side of campus.  While there was no hate speech or threat as part of the vandalized messaging, we wanted to mention it in case you see it this morning.

Facilities is working hard this morning to clean the paint off of the buildings, and the case will be referred to local law enforcement.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to safetyandsecurity@shoreline.edu

Thank you,

The Shoreline Community College Strategic Plan Team Needs Your Feedback!

Good afternoon all,

After extensive community engagement to create the Draft Equity-Centered Strategic Plan, Shoreline Community College is presently fine-tuning its vision, mission, values, goals, equity statements, and objectives to solidify alignment with both the College’s objectives and the broader community’s needs. Let us know if there’s anything we may have missed. The Planning team highly values your thoughts on the drafts, ensuring we capture the essence of our community.

Shoreline Community College recognizes that equity and diversity in the academic environment fosters cultural awareness, promotes mutual understanding and respect, and provides inspiring role models for all students. We are committed to a campus climate and culture where all community members feel safe, experience a sense of belonging, and feel their overall well-being is supported through authentic and engaged relationships. 

Please share your thoughts in a survey that includes 25 questions, including 17 about the strategic framework of the plan and a small number of participant background information. The survey is anonymous and students who opt in are eligible to be selected for prizes!

Your answers will provide critical information that will help us refine our new mission, vision, values, equity statements, goals and objectives. Let’s celebrate what we appreciate about Shoreline to build an even more equitable, inclusive future to embrace the changing world!

Internet Outage Update: 2:36pm 1/29/24- Connection is Restored!

Dear Campus Community,

Good news!  The Shoreline network connection for campus has been restored. 

We have received more information on the outage we experienced today and have confirmed that the fiber connection had some integrity issues in two spots, one near our campus and one about four miles out. These issues caused the Shoreline network to lose connectivity. While this is not an issue that originated at the College it is one that impacted us. Thankfully the technicians were able to get it fixed quickly allowing our connection to be fully restored.

Students and staff, please continue to check in with your instructors and supervisors for instructions about evening classes and activities.

If you have any questions, please contact Jason Brandon, Executive Director of TSS jbrandon@shoreline.edu
