Events and News
Good afternoon, folks – this past week has been filled with Ransomware meetings and planning, but it does feel like we are making some real progress. TSS is now engaged in full recovery mode, with classroom lab setups near completion, allowing them to begin focusing more on additional classroom and staff support. We continue to thank them for all of the great work they have been doing!
I would also like to thank those who participated in the strategic plan charette this week. There were over 200 in attendance! It is so important for us to hear your vision for how Shoreline will move forward in the future. There are still multiple steps left in the process so please stay tuned for updates.
This week I was able to participate in a couple of really great events. The first was put on by the Veteran’s Center. The event was called “Painting Away the Trauma II” and featured the powerful artwork of Veteran and Marine Michael Reagan. Michael’s work is truly inspiring and meeting him and listening to him share his story was very meaningful to me. His dedication to telling his stories through art is really special. You can learn more about the event here. Thank you to Derek Levy and the Veterans Team for bringing this to campus.
The second event I attended was the King County Small Business Development Center grand opening. It was great! City representatives, State Representative Ryu, Shoreline Chamber of Commerce, faculty, staff, and students all gathered to celebrate this center opening shop at Shoreline. This will not only provide a space for small business owners (and those seeking to become ones) to visit, learn, and plan, but it will also provide a great connection to our students and faculty, as well as increase all kinds of innovation. Thank you so much to VP King, Dean Rucks, Business faculty and others for bringing this to campus. This is exactly the kind of partnership we need to replicate! The more we can invite folks to do their work on campus, the more opportunities are available for all of our community. So, bravo! Also, there was cake.
Finally, I did get a chance to get away for the weekend and visit some of my family in Arizona. My 13-year-old niece unfortunately sprained her ankle, so she was not as mobile as usual. However, that meant I got to see her more – we played Scrabble! I’m pretty sure I lost though we didn’t keep track of the score, though I did come up with a couple interesting words including the word “quark.” Overall, she was a much better player than I was. It’s always great to connect with family when you can, even when they beat you at Scrabble!
Hope you all are doing well,
Best,
Jack

Shoreline Community College MISSION – Our Purpose
We serve the educational, workforce, and cultural needs of our diverse students and communities.
Attention Campus Community,
We will have some construction work taking place on the east and north side of the 2300 building starting 4/24 through 5/12. This work will be broken down into two phases. For Phase 1, Forma will be excavating a trench on the east pedestrian path of 2300 (highlighted in orange) from 4/24 to 5/5. The path will be plated to provide crossing for pedestrians. The trench will be protected with a barricade and fence. Once this area is completed the path will be returned to its existing condition. For Phase 2, Forma will be excavating a trench on the north pedestrian path of 2300 (highlighted in yellow) from 5/1 to 5/12. This work will generate some construction noise. The path will be plated to provide crossing for pedestrians. One ADA parking stall will be temporarily relocated. The trench will be protected with a barricade and fence. Once this area is completed the path will be returned to its existing condition. All doors to 2300 will remain open.
Please reach out to Kimberlee Clark (kclark@shoreline.edu) if you have any questions.
Thank you for your patience as we work to complete the HSAMCC project.
SCC Facilities
The SBCTC will be upgrading the ctcLink software (PeopleTools) and users can expect it to look different after the upgrade.
FACULTY: The downtime will not impact access to Canvas.

Warmest regards,

Concurrent sessions offered synchronously in-person and online: Events (sharepoint.com)
The Day of Learning (DOL) marks a unique opportunity for the College to connect and learn together. We have numerous reasons to connect and continue building community with the distance we have experienced over the past few years. With the recent letter from our accrediting commission (NWCCU), we also have a very compelling reason to focus our collective learning on strategic planning and the accreditation process. In the spirit of transparency and collaboration, all members of our community are impacted by the actions we will take to address the recommendations the NWCCU put forward to be addressed. As such, working alongside one another to advance the efforts of our College is advantageous for every member of our vibrant community.
