Hi folks, I hope all are well.  I’ve been on vacation for about 1/3 of this week, visiting some friends, etc., and the rest of the week I’m in meetings.  Not much to report this week, but I’m looking forward to the beginning of the quarter.   

Cheers, 

Jack

Alumni Office & Alumni Relations at Shoreline College –  

All Shoreline alumni are part of one big Phin-Family.  If your program is wanting to connect with past alumni, or if you have lists of alumni with whom you’ve previously had engagement, please connect with Josh Krupke and the Alumni Steering Committee.  

The Alumni Office and Steering Committee serve as the central hub for all Shoreline Alumni outreach, events, communications, and data management. One of the goals in the Shoreline College Strategic Plan is to strengthen and leverage our Alumni Network. To achieve that goal, we need to be able to track our progress. By coordinating these efforts in one place, we can collect clean data, build a stronger, more coordinated alumni network to support students and events on campus, and encourage partnerships and greater enrollment throughout the community.  

And if you know of individuals who would be interested in joining the Alumni Steering Committee, having their story shared through an Alumni Spotlight, or that would be interested in connecting with the college in other ways, please have them contact Josh at jkrupke@shoreline.edu. 

Events 

Procedures for Campus Events are being developed! The Communications and Community Development Council met on Monday, March 23 to discuss campus-wide procedures for events at Shoreline College. This work is part of an ongoing effort to refine a shared framework for planning and coordinating events across campus. The goal is to ensure events align with the college’s mission and strategic priorities, use resources responsibly, follow appropriate approval processes, and create positive, engaging experiences for students, employees, and the broader community. Stay tuned for more information. If you are interested in joining this Council, please email Wendy Coates.
