Improvements on the Horizon for Shoreline Early Alert 

January 13, 2023 by Leave a Comment

Hello campus community: 

As you may have heard, Shoreline Early Alert will see some major improvements this academic year.    Please continue reading to learn more about the upcoming changes. 

What’s happening? 

This year, Shoreline Early Alert is moving from Formstack to a much simpler, more transparent process in Starfish, our student success & retention platform.  The new Starfish process will be easier to use: faculty will no longer be required to enter basic information such as student ID number; rather than needing to hunt down the form each term, it will come directly via email early in each term; and instructors will be able to can see the outcome of their submission in Starfish. 

What’s the timeline? 

  • Early Winter – Conduct a small test of the Starfish SEA process between weeks 2 and 4 of Winter term.  During this time, the SEA Formstack will remain open and available for use with other students not included in the pilot. 
  • Mid-Winter – Collect and analyze feedback from participants.  The Starfish team will use this information to make improvements to the process. 
  • End of Winter – Keep an eye on DAAG for an update about the results of the Starfish SEA pilot.  Faculty and staff will also have the opportunity to preview the new process before the full rollout later on this year. 
  • Spring – We’ll do additional testing and refinement of Shoreline Early Alert in Starfish 
  • Summer – Decommission the SEA Formstack and formally replace with the improved Starfish process 

Who is participating in the Winter pilot? 

We’re conducting the pilot using a small set of students who have designated support staff. 

Instructors teaching students in the test group will soon receive an email with instructions, and a link to the new Starfish SEA process. 

Referrals made through the new SEA process will be handled by designated support staff who have already received special training.  Academic advisors will not need to take any action and should continue handling the Formstack SEA referrals as usual. 

If you have any questions, please contact Caitlin Jacques, Shoreline’s Starfish Business Analyst, at cjacques@shoreline.edu.

Campus Updates 01/12/23

EVENTS AND NEWS  

Good afternoon all and happy first week back! 

It’s been a bustling and busy week for everyone, and I hope your week is going well. Well, we have been on the “roller-coaster” of watching enrollment show “better than last year” one day, then “worse than last year” the next day. It isn’t quite as negative as last year, but as of this morning, we were tracking 4.5% year over year from this day last year.  I know, there is a lot of hard work you are all doing to move us in the right direction—from faculty engagement in the classrooms to our financial aid staff, to advisors, to outreach and the “just-in-time” retention efforts in student services. We do have a lot of work to do to genuinely reverse this trend, better understand what is happening, and better serve this community. We are meeting with Ruffalo Noel Levitz to get some outside perspective on some of these issues. We will be sharing challenges and progress on these items at this meeting: 

Campus Update Meeting: Campus Challenges  

Thursday, January 26, 2023; 1:30 – 3:00 PM 

In-person: Main Dining Room (#9215) – PUB (#9000)  

Join via Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83173429202 
(253) 215-8782 ▪ Meeting ID: 831 7342 9202 

This week was very busy on my end. You may already know…our new VP for DEI Melanie Dixon joined us and it has been great working and learning with her. The two of us were able to meet DarNesha and Erwin Weary from Black Coffee Northwest and Suni Tolton the Diversity & Inclusion Coordinator for the City of Shoreline. We had a great conversation, and you can expect some very cool collaborations coming soon. The Executive Team (ET) has also begun a new training in intercultural competence to stretch our understanding and dedication to the implementation of DEI activities and to help onboard our new teammate! 

We also met with MIG in ET to launch our Strategic Planning process. They will be meeting with the College Council and Strategic Planning Budget Council so we can create a Strategic Planning Taskforce which will be a group of faculty, staff, and students to move the process along. They will also be presenting at the Wednesday, January 25, 2023, Board of Trustees meeting. I encourage you to attend these open meetings to learn more about the process. 

And finally, I wanted to update you about the VPFAS interview we held last week. Unfortunately, it did not work out and we were unable to hire someone. I do want to thank the faculty, staff, and administrators who took part in the process and to all of you for your understanding regarding this modified hiring process attempt. We will be going out with a regular recruitment attempt starting next week. 

Looking FORWARD to seeing you all soon.
