Announcing Three Department Names: What’s Changing and Why
July 24, 2025 by Leave a Comment
We would like to announce three departmental name changes for Shoreline. These name changes better align with national standards and will support our students more effectively.
Instruction to Academic Affairs
This change reflects the broader role the division plays in supporting teaching and learning across campus.
Why the change?
- Broader Scope: Encompasses curriculum development, assessment, faculty development, and academic support, not just classroom teaching.
- Common Higher Ed Language: Aligns with terminology used by most colleges and universities.
- Supports Strategic Goals: Reflects a more integrated and student-centered approach to academic leadership.
- Promotes Collaboration: Strengthens connections with Student Affairs, DEI, and PIE to support student success.
Student Services to Student Affairs
This update aligns with national naming conventions and underscores the holistic nature of student support.
Why the change?
- Nationally Recognized Name: Matches the terminology used by most four-year institutions.
- Supports Transfer Students: Helps students more easily navigate higher education systems.
- Professional Alignment: Reflects terminology used by the National Association of Student Affairs Professionals Administrators in Higher Education (NASPA) and the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS), our national associations for student affairs.
English as a Second Language (ESL) to English Language Learning (ELL)
The new name better honors the multilingual backgrounds and lived experiences of our students.
Why the change?
- More Inclusive: “Second language” doesn’t reflect the reality for many students who speak multiple languages.
- Student-Driven: Chosen through an inclusive process that included 134 responses, 71% of which were from students.
- Culturally Responsive: Supports inclusive and anti-racist pedagogy and reflects current naming trends.
Thank you to all the faculty, staff, and students who participated in the thoughtful conversations that led to these changes. These updates help ensure that our language reflects our values and our commitment to clear communication and student success.

Thursday 07/24/2025 from WWU
Hey folks,
Hope all are doing well. I spent much of last week with the presidents from across WA State to discuss various topics, including overall budget items for the immediate future. It was great to meet with colleagues, but of course many of the challenges discussed were tough at times.
The rest of the week was mostly catching up on summer projects (working on policies for example). We had a great meeting on our campus with Dr. Sabah Randhawa and his team from Western Washington University to talk about strengthening our partnership and finding new ways to support students who wish to transfer there. Keep an eye out for updates.
Cheers,
Jack

Mail Services
As operations and coverage of the Mail Services Department continues among different employees, we need your help as we adjust our mail and package handling and delivery procedures.
To help complete our mission to timely send and receive interoffice mail, USPS mail, and other carrier packages, please pick up and drop off your items at the Mail Services Office (Room 9100) located at the external loading dock on the ground floor of the PUB 9000 Building. Please do not come to the interior door as the noise levels inside cover up door knocking sounds.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time. If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact Joe Mazur, Kimberlee Clark, Aimee Henson, or Gayla Hocker.
