EVENTS AND NEWS
Good afternoon folks,
At the tail end of last week, I was able to meet with Bristol Ellington, the new City Manager of Shoreline. We took him on a tour and introduced Mr. Ellington to various programs on campus. I also introduced him to Melanie Dixon, and we discussed setting up a regular structure between the City of Shoreline and SCC to identify tangible projects to demonstrate the city & SCC’s commitment to furthering DEI work in the area. Very exciting! We will be establishing that structure in the next few weeks- more to come!
This week has been very busy with much of it happening in Olympia, Washington. Trustees Chan, Lux, and I went to the hill and met with Senator Salomon, Representative Davis, Representative Stanford’s staff member, Representative Ryu, & Representative Kloba to discuss the legislative priorities of our system with the #1 priority being advocating for faculty and staff compensation to be fully funded by the state. There was a lot of support, and we hope to see the COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) enacted and funded by the state. Advocacy will continue as our staff and faculty are very much in need of this compensation increase.
Have a great rest of your week!
Best,
Jack

From President Kahn & Vice President Dixon: Monterey Park, CA mass shooting during Lunar New Year Celebrations
On behalf of Shoreline Community College, we wanted to reach out to the campus community to express our concern for students, faculty, staff, and family members who may be impacted by the recent event that unfolded in Monterey Park, CA at a Lunar New Year event.
We are devastated by another senseless act of violence in the form of a mass shooting. The Monterey Park mass shooting during Lunar New Year celebrations is incomprehensible. This is a time for the AAPI community to come together to illuminate hope, optimism, and community, and to have it overshadowed by hate and violence is particularly heartbreaking.
As a College, we stand with our AAPI community to reject such acts of hate and violence. Our hopes for all members of the AAPI community are safety, prosperity, and love. None of these hopes for our community were actualized during this horrific event. As a college community, we must not only stand with all members of the AAPI community but take action against the consistent assaults on all BIPOC communities. What will you do to support your colleagues and students during this unspeakable time? How will you show up for members of the AAPI community on and off campus? This call to action is about how we show up for one another during times of tragedy and all other times we have the opportunity to disrupt.
We recognize the trauma incidents such as these can have on our college community and want to remind all employees of the resources available to support you through this unfathomable time. Please do not hesitate to seek out services and should you see someone in need, please extend support. To all members of the Shoreline AAPI community, we see you, we care for you, and we do not want you to suffer alone.
We believe that one day the cycles of violence playing out across the nation targeting BIPOC communities will cease. Until then, we will continue to focus on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as a mechanism to achieve social justice for all. We are responsible for our community, let’s choose to lead with love.
Please know that we have resources available to both students and employees to counsel you through any potential emotional distress from this event.
