Day of Learning is coming in less than 2 weeks! May 5th 2023 

We look forward to seeing you all for this day of professional development surrounding Accreditation, Strategic Planning, and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility. There will be a variety of all campus and concurrent sessions, and food for people who come to campus to attend.

Day Overview: Day of Learning 2023 – Accreditation – Anchoring in DEIA (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.

Return of the Building Marshall Program

Dear Colleagues,

Shoreline is re-instating the Building Marshal (formerly Building Monitor) program. Being a Building Marshal is completely voluntary, and while there is no additional pay, you will be provided with training and a CPR/AED/First Aid certification through the Red Cross. Building Marshal’s will be tasked with assisting with building evacuations in case of an emergency, as well as acting as an extra pair of eyes to spot safety hazards before they can cause injury. There will be multiple Building Marshal’s assigned to each building to allow for coverage even when someone is out sick, on vacation, or traveling for work. Building Marshals will:

  • Be issued a backpack that contains a safety reflective vest, hard hat, binder with emergency operation tips and processes, and a standard first aid kit.
  • Be given CPR/AED/First Aid training by a certified Red Cross instructor
  • Be given training on how to use and where to find Stryker chairs
  • Be responsible to assist with evacuations in the event of the emergency
  • Report to Safety & Security when they observe safety hazards in their areas (lights that are out, exposed wires, AEDs/fire extinguishers that appear tampered with
  • Be physically able to assist persons that require said assistance during evacuations 

If you are interested in becoming a Building Marshal, please copy and paste the prompts below and answer all in an email your to gcranson@shoreline.edu

  1. First and Last Name:
  2. Shoreline Email Address:
  3. Building and Office Number:
  4. What days and times are you physically on campus?
  5. Are you willing to be the Building Marshal for a building other than your own if needed?

Spring Enrollment is Up!

Dear Colleagues,   

The PIE (Planning & Institutional Effectiveness) Office provides data tools to help our college community track enrollments, which is especially important since one of the Presidental’s goals is to improve targeted enrollments in 2022-2024. 

10th Day Enrollment Report 

Last quarter, PIE started sending out a 10th-day quarterly enrollment report to campus.  Please review this quarter’s 10th day enrollment report.  The 10th day was on April 14th. (Due to data constraints related to the ransomware incident, comparisons in this quarter’s report are limited to select breakdowns where data is available.)   

Great news! Spring enrollments have increased for the first time in five years!!  

Daily Enrollment Report 

Also, since the Report Server is still unavailable due to the ransomware incident, Daily Enrollment Reporting now can be found on the PIE Team’s Sharepoint site here. That same link also is available on the Shoreline Support Center > Employees >  Daily Enrollment Report.

The Daily Enrollment Report is a snapshot of current quarterly student enrollment. The top file in the folder ( 0_CURRENT_Daily Enrollment Report_Comparison_Spring 2023) is updated with the most recent numbers available; prior daily reports are archived in that folder too. Enrollment as of Friday, March 17, 2023 (the last day prior to the ransomware incident) and final numbers from last year (Spring 2022) are provided for comparison.  

Sincerely,  

Your data friends @ PIE:
