Community and technical college students to be recognized by trustees

January 23, 2023 by Leave a Comment

OLYMPIA, Wash. — The Washington State Association of College Trustees (ACT) will honor 31 community and technical college students Monday night at its annual Transforming Lives awards ceremony, sponsored by College Spark Washington. The annual ceremony recognizes current and former students of community and technical colleges whose lives were transformed by attending their college. The winners were nominated by their college’s board of trustees.

From the winners, ACT selected six as keynote speakers. This year’s speakers are:

  • Mohamad Imran, Bellevue College
  • Rita Nichols, Cascadia College
  • Ryla Christianson, Columbia Basin College
  • Bessie Gordon-Verrett, Green River College
  • Lulu Yao, Lake Washington Institute of Technology

“Students care for their families, hold full-time jobs, and face financial hardships, but they never lose sight of their educational goals,” Pat Shuman, ACT president and Tacoma Community College trustee, said. “Transforming Lives is one way we recognize our students and celebrate their incredible accomplishments.”

The six keynote speakers will receive $500 from ACT, and the winners will receive $250.

Dear Colleagues,

Please complete the Shoreline Community College Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Survey by Friday, January 27th.  The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. 

Your participation is needed and valuable, by providing important employee insight on the College’s continuing efforts to provide equal opportunities and a welcoming environment to students, faculty, and staff from diverse backgrounds.  Diverse backgrounds include various ethnicities, races, cultures, genders, sexualities, religions, abilities, socio-economic status, and all other identities. 
 

This study is for research purposes only: all information you provide will be maintained on a confidential basis by our partner Hanover Research and will only be reported to Shoreline in an anonymized form (i.e., your name and identifying information such as race and gender will not be shared with Shoreline or tied to your responses), so please be candid in your responses. Please note that you should not use your name or other identifying information in your open-ended responses.  

Many thanks to those that have already completed and thank you all for your participation!

Regards,

Ann

ctcLink: Updates & How to Get Help

January 23, 2023 by Leave a Comment

Dear Faculty and Staff Colleagues, 

The ctcLink Project has a new Executive Sponsor – me!   

It’s been almost a year since Shoreline’s ctcLink Go Live date of February 28, 2022, and I want to recognize the hard work of so many dedicated staff and faculty who have gotten the College to this point with ctcLink. 

One year out, we are still in the “stabilization” phase of this project and have many issues to work through. Don’t worry – that is expected with such a large campus-wide (and statewide) project. Please hang in there; this project is a marathon, not a sprint, and we are making meaningful progress.  Continued training will be provided (including one today for all administrators at Shoreline).

As you encounter issues, please follow these steps: 

1.       Look for an answer in the Shoreline Support Center.    

2.       Ask friends for help: 

a.       Start with your supervisor and unit colleagues, who are most familiar with the processes in your department.  

b.       Ask statewide colleagues in your ctcLink area (sign up for state mailing lists here).    

3.      Get live help @ https://shoreline.edu/zoomroom Monday-Friday 9:00am-1:00pm & 2:00pm-4:30pm. 

4.      Submit a request for help at the Shoreline Support Center or email Support@shoreline.edu. 

Those help requests/tickets are tracked in a ticketing software called TeamDynamix and are resolved by a team of ctcLink Business Analysts, who will be coming out to department meetings soon so you can put faces to names. 

Finally, ctcLink has a new Project Manager: Ann Garnsey-Harter, Associate VP-Planning, Institutional Effectiveness, & Project Management.

Thanks,

Scott Geer who has performed in the Jazz Ensemble and has been involved with the drama productions at SCC has been awarded Best Sound & Music at the LGBTQ+ Los Angeles Film Festival for his original composition, “Waltz Noire” which was used in a student-produced short film. We produced, arranged, and recorded the song using student musicians last spring quarter. So happy for Scott Geer and Azure Kwok!
