Shoreline Shoutouts

Shout Out to Facilities and all the Campus folks who cleared away snow to open Shoreline on Sat, Dec. 3, 2022. Our early December snows made a tremendous amount of additional work for several groups on campus. Things came to a head on Sat, December 3 when there were several big events scheduled and new snow to clear from Friday night. Folks came together and worked so hard to keep the parking lots and walkways safe for our students, staff and guests and to create welcoming spaces on campus.

The list of staff is long but they all deserve a special thank you for coming to campus on this cold, snowy Sat:

Andrés Barriga Mendoza, Naziira Hemeto, Suzanne Gugger, Ron Norimatsu, Kim Clark, Tommy Harvey, Quang Le, Erik Falk, Tony Diaz, Norman McLain, Y Tran, Huyen Jahed, Hung Nguyen, Thien Bui, Bryar Golden, John Nold, Anna Larsen, Amy Stapleton, Liam O’Connor, Justin Baggott, the students who were in the theater production, Jack Khan, Samira Pardanani, Lianne Almugirah, and Student Volunteers at the event: Chanbin Na, Hyunbin Cho, Harin Chung, Hyewon Shin, Nga sze Yu, Cheng Long, Anthonie Yao, Ashnah Anesh, Ai Ngamkitcharoenlap plus Campus Security Officers Calob Peoples, David Banik, Karl Hicks, and Christopher Ward

As a reminder, for those wishing to acknowledge the work of fellow shoreline staff members or a group at Shoreline, you need only submit a Waves of Gratitude form for individuals or a Shoreline Shoutout for groups.  Thank you from the Employee Recognition Committee – Rob, Wanda, and Megan.

EVENTS AND NEWS  

Folks, this week has been nuts. I imagine it has been for you as well, with finals and all kinds of projects ending. But we are almost there! Thanks to everyone who attended the Community Check-in. I really appreciate it given how busy everyone is! 

This week I had the pleasure of traveling down to Bates College to present “Innovative Partnerships in Biotech” with Phillip King & Guy Hamilton to the Washington State Board. Guy did a great job describing our model of partnering with high schools and industry and connecting students with paid internships while they take college courses with us. Board members were very impressed, and Shoreline got some well-deserved great press for the training our faculty are providing! Speaking of the State Board, our Executive Director for the State Board Paul Francis toured Shoreline last Friday, visiting several program spaces and chatting with some of our faculty and staff. Mr. Francis said, “On behalf of everyone at the SBCTC, a huge thank you to you and your leadership team for taking time out of your busy schedules to present to the board. I’m a huge fan of the Biotech Technician Training Program, and now the board is too! Thank you for hosting me on Friday at Shoreline. I learned a lot about the programs you offer, and the students enrolled in them. My team and I look forward to returning to both Shoreline and Bates next year!”. 

One of the highlights of the week was the (Re) United Shoreline Employee Visual, Performing, and Literary Arts Exhibition in the Admin building. The work created by our own staff and faculty is so impressive! The event was lovely as well. I really enjoyed chatting with folks but even more, I appreciated seeing people connect and enjoy being with one another while celebrating their creativity. Special thanks to Zak Mazur, the Arts Faculty, and the Shoreline CC Foundation for funding the treats!  

Earlier in the week, one of our colleagues mentioned in an email to me that the college had recently made an appointment for one of the acting positions and was concerned because I had stated we would not be doing that. My original intent was to end the appointments of permanent positions (unless under rare circumstances etc.), however, I am now looking into whether it makes sense to have a more open process for acting positions as well. I appreciated that feedback and wanted to share it with you. I’ll keep you posted. Speaking of appointments, please see the email sent earlier today about one possible appointment and the process being explored to do so.  

Finally, the Governor’s budget was released today and focuses on housing, climate change, and mental health amongst other items. While not all items we asked for in our system were supported, there are a lot of positive items proposed including the governor recommending funding our STEAM building! The college will release a summary of those items soon, but until then here is a summary available on the web

Have a great week, 

Jack
