Events and News 

Good afternoon, all! 

Once again, I hope you are all doing well. This was another week filled with meetings dedicated to budget planning.  

It has been challenging, given our limited resources and the number of requests received. I do think though, that we have developed a process that will honor a collaborative and transparent approach with a focus on prioritization and future planning. We will do even better next year. You may have attended yesterday’s (August 23, 2023) Board of Trustees meeting where we presented the DRAFT budget to the trustees. This, of course, was a “higher level” presentation.  

During Opening Week, we will share information with the campus about the specifics (e.g., innovation grant list, etc.) surrounding the College’s 2023-2024 operating budget. 

A highlight this week was meeting with my colleague Kunchok Gonpo, the president of the Tibetan Association of Washington (TAW). We are excited that the TAW will be offering language and culture classes to the Tibetan community every Sunday, right here at Shoreline Community College! Thank you to Suzanne Gugger, Assistant Director (Continuing Education, Facility Rentals & Events) for all her work on this! We are also collaborating on other possibilities with the TAW and are planning to connect President Gonpo’s team with campus folks in the fall.  

Other than that, not much to report on a personal front. I spent all last weekend on Shoreline CC related work so have less fun stuff to report! I did, however, have a fun ZOOM catch-up with a Community College President friend from California. Always fun to share similarities and differences across colleges. We also managed to talk about non-work- related stuff—which is sometimes a challenge for us.  

Hope your weekend is relaxing and energizing as well.  

Best, 

Jack

Scholarship Reviewers Needed! Reviewing student scholarship applications is inspiring, fulfilling, and rewarding! The review and scoring process happens online and can take place at any time during the review period (August 21 – Sept 6). We will supply you with instructions, scoring rubric, and any other assistance you may need. Each application, scored by 2 or 3 reviewers (depending on the number of volunteers signed up), takes 3 – 5 hours to complete. Please do not feel the need to do them all at one time as you can break it up however you want during the review period.

Law Enforcement Training Seminar on Campus Aug. 28th – 30th

August 23, 2023 by Leave a Comment

Next week, Monday, August 28th – Wednesday, August 30th, local law enforcement will be conducting a training seminar in Buildings 1500 and 1600. Part of the training will involve Taser firings (similar to the sound of a nail gun) and yelled verbal commands. Signage will be posted around Building 1500 and 1600 to ensure public knowledge of the training in progress. The Taser firings and verbal commands will only be conducted in the Theater, Theater Lobby, and Room 1504 and should have no impact on other campus operations. The police presence on campus will be minimal as the seminar training instructors are law enforcement but the participants are employees of the Taser manufacturer. The seminar is to help the employees better understand the training and real-world applications of the Taser to help increase the effectiveness of the less-lethal tool.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Acting Director of Safety & Security Gregory Cranson at gcranson@shoreline.edu

What’s new with COL 101 this Fall?

August 22, 2023 by Leave a Comment

For new students who are undecided or would like a structured way to explore their academic & career options, we’re excited to offer a wider array of COL 101 sections.  This Fall, we’re debuting many different specialized sections, including:

  • 11504 – For students exploring careers in Health Sciences
  • 34416 – For Asian and Pacific Islander students (in collaboration with WAVES)
  • 11537 – For international students 
  • 33259 – For Athletes 

We’re also offering a similar course for ESL students: Preparing for College & Career Success (COL 90).  This course will offer much of the same content but differentiated for English language learners.

Refresh my memory: What is COL 101?

Introduction to College & Career Success (COL 101) is designed for new, undecided students in their first or second quarter at Shoreline.  However, the course is beneficial for anyone who has not yet chosen a program of study at Shoreline. 

In the course, students will:

  • Identify strengths and interests
  • Explore career goals and create academic plans
  • Navigate and access campus resources and services
  • Connect with a dedicated Peer Mentor for extra support

The three-credit course is conveniently offered both online and in-person, with early- and late-start options available. The course counts as a restricted elective toward the AA-DTA and most other degrees.

Why Should Students Take this Class?

Did you know that 37% of new, degree-seeking students who start in Fall do not return to Shoreline in the Winter?  What’s more, only 27% of degree-seeking Shoreline students complete their credential within three years. Per SBCTC’s FTEC Dashboard as of 8/17/2023

COL 101 is a retention strategy: research shows that students who take a class like this are more likely to stay in college, complete their degree, and have stronger academic success. Taking COL 101 helps students clearly see their pathway to completion and develop a comprehensive academic plan from the get-go.

You can review all COL 101 offerings via the Fall course schedule.
