Executive Director of DEI Recruitment Update

Dear Campus Community,

I am reaching out to provide an update regarding the Executive Director for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (ED-DEI) position recruitment.

While the College was in discussion with the three finalists that emerged, unfortunately, all three of them have taken positions outside of Shoreline. Given that we are about to enter a year of transition for the leadership of the College, please know that the College will be re-evaluating how we can better recruit the ED-DEI position to hopefully result in a successful hire when the position is re-opened for application. In the interim, the College will continue to identify and share resources to campus as we continue our campus-wide DEI development.

Questions regarding this update can be directed to Veronica Zura (vzura@shoreline.edu) at any time.
