Events and News 

Good afternoon, folks- hope all are well! Toward the end of last week, I had the chance to greet some of our incoming Dolphins from our area high schools. I did my best to engage but honestly these teens are a tough crowd! 😊 In all seriousness though, it was great to see some new folks coming in for the fall and have an opportunity to brag about Shoreline and the great work that you all do. 

This week I have been with some of our amazing folks from International Education at the NAFSA: Association of International Educators conference in Washington DC.  It has been fun meeting new colleagues and seeing all the amazing work that our team (here with me – Samira Pardanani, Yushin Wung, Lisa Maroni and Cynthia Okawara) does to bring the world to Shoreline! The time has been very productive and has given me some good ideas for future collaborations to support our students. It’s also inspiring to meet with people from all over the world who share an educational vision and respect for humanity. 

One standout moment for me from this week, was a meeting with representatives from the United Arab Emirates Education center here in Washington DC.  We have about 8 students at our college through this partnership and we met with them to discuss progress, support, and potential future students being placed at Shoreline. I really enjoyed meeting these representatives and discussing our partnership! We are the first Community College in the country to host these government sponsored students.

See you back on campus next week!

Institutional Research (in PIE Planning & Institutional Effectiveness) 

New Student Registration for Summer and Fall began May 22, 2023. The first day of summer instruction is July 3, 2023. You can view current and archived Daily Enrollment Reports here: Daily Enrollment Reports (Public):  

  • Summer 2023 
  • Fall 2023 

Caveats: it is still early for Fall enrollment and due to ransomware, we do not have access to past year same-day comparison (even if we did, fraudulent students in Summer/Fall 2022 would make this a bad comparison). 

A link to these reports always can be found at the Shoreline Support Center > Employee > Daily Enrollment Report.

Important Phishing Scam Update

June 1, 2023 by Leave a Comment

Good morning,

It has been brought to our attention that some individuals may have received a text message recently claiming to be from the President Kahn making a special request, in this case, a gift card purchase.  

Please be advised that this is a common phishing scam message that is not legitimate. Please note that there is no standard procedure for making these types of requests.  We do, however, realize that these types of messages can vary, and sometimes be quite persuasive.  If you receive a text or email message such as this, it is always a good practice to verify the validity of the message prior to taking any action.  Some good steps to take include:

  • Ask yourself, are you the person that would typically perform these duties in your role, and is this the correct procedure in which this would be performed?
  • Did this request come from a valid phone number/email that belongs to the person making the request?
  • Follow up with the person via a phone call or email to validate the request prior to taking action (use a direct contact number/email as opposed to replying to the original message).
  • In the event you can’t reach the person making the request, seek a second opinion from someone else in this person’s department to validate the request.

With today’s reliance on technology, scams like this are very common and impossible to avoid.  However, if we all remain aware of these types of tactics, we can avoid becoming a victim.  We will continue to send updates for any new potential threats as they emerge. 

Have a great day!

Executive Director of TSS.
