EVENTS AND NEWS  

Hi folks—as usual, it has been a whirlwind week. Hope you are doing well.  This past weekend we lost power alongside 180,000 other homes in the area. Ours was only out for a couple of days, so not too bad though it was cold.  Fortunately, we have two dogs and lots of blankets so that helped!  I hope those without power have been restored.  If you are having difficulties as a function of the storm and need some assistance at Shoreline, please feel free to contact your supervisor for options.  

The highlight of the week for me was the Foundation Student Success Luncheon. Wow, it was packed with people!! The room was completely full, and folks attended online as well. It was so great to see so many people advocating for students and raising funds to help our students, especially in such a challenging time. I want to thank Diana Dotter and her team Michelle Cimaroli and Josh Krupke for all the incredible work they put into this stellar event. Speaking of being packed, the International Transfer Fair event was equally packed!  It was so great to see our students connecting with over 70 colleges and universities from across the country.  What a great event and resource!  Special thanks to Yushin Wung, Leanne Almughirah, Ginger Villanueva, Cynthia Okawara, John Tankersley, Jessica Galan, and Samira Pardanani for all your work on this! 

Finally, I want to thank the faculty and staff who have been coming to share experiences and ideas with me this week.  In the four months that I have been here, these 1:1 (one on one) meetings have been especially useful for my learning.  Feel free to join a scheduled meeting (below) or if those do not work, I will always find the time. 

Cheers, Jack

November 10, 2022 by Leave a Comment

Hello Shoreline Community,

Exciting news! Shoreline Community College is moving to a new Support Center as announced earlier (Help Desk Transition DAAG Article from Oct 31). The Support Center (support.shoreline.edu)  is where you find helpful articles and submit requests. Now we can include more departments and provide better support to our students, staff, and faculty.

Here is the timeline for the transition between the two systems:

  • On Wednesday, November 16th from 7am until 1pm, Shoreline Support Center (support.shoreline.edu) will be offline while we migrate to the new system. 
  • During this time, please use one of the following options to get assistance:
  • For ctcLink, Password, Canvas, and other issues that can be resolved with a 1:1 virtual session please join our Zoom room at www.shoreline.edu/ZoomRoom.
  • If you are on campus and need in-person assistance:
    • Hardware, Software, Wi-Fi, etc.: please visit TSS in lower level of Library, Room 4122
    • Enrollment Services & Financial Aid: Please visit Enrollment Services
    • eLearning Services & Classroom Support Services: Please visit eLearning in 1200 Building
    • Continuing Education & Rentals: Please visit eLearning in 1200 building
  • For security change requests, network account setup, etc. we ask that you please hole the request until migration is complete to avoid risk of your request getting delayed.
  • On November 16th TSS will send out a campus announcement once the move is completed stating that the migration is now complete.
  • Starting the afternoon of the 16th you will see emails stating that your requests were moved to the new system. Please have patience as agents move them over and adjust to the new system.

Update on 2022-23 Budget

November 10, 2022 by Leave a Comment

College community, 

We are nearing the halfway point of the fiscal year, and I know that many of you are anxious and concerned about seeing and monitoring your 2022-23 budgets.  I’d like to provide a brief update on what information is available now, how to access it, and what is coming. 

Due to complications related to ctcLink and other workload factors, we were unable to load the 2022-23 budget into ctcLink this summer. Time that would have been ordinarily used entering the budget was instead devoted to a very complicated fiscal year closing process – one that was entirely new for Shoreline.  At the same, staff were navigating their way through a backlog of work resulting from ctcLink conversion.  Vacancies in Financial Services have also compounded our challenges. 

Our goal is to have this current year budget loaded by December 2022.  We understand that this is not ideal, and we assure you that this does not represent where the Budget Office expects to be in the future.  Going forward, we will operate on a regular and reliable schedule of having the budget ready by late August. 

In the meantime, when assessing your budget activity, last year’s numbers should serve as a reasonable guideline. This is because we developed this year’s budget on a status-quo zero-sum basis, with very few changes from the prior year. 

An interim budget tracking tool is available to you through Tableau at https://tableau.sbctc.edu/t/shoreline/views/FMSDashboard/BudgetingDashboard?:isGuestRedirectFromVizportal=y&:embed=y.  Although this tool doesn’t yet reflect your allocations for the year, it does allow you to monitor and spending activity. 

I appreciate your patience as the Budget Office and Financial Services continue to adjust to our new ctcLink environment. 

Thank you.

Bob Williamson

Acting Vice President for Business and Administrative Services
