Have you ever dreamed of wielding a sword like a movie hero or performing a dramatic duel like the Three Musketeers? Now’s your chance to bring that energy to life — safely and on stage.

Shoreline Community College’s Continuing Education program is offering a Stage Combat & Sword Fighting class designed to teach you how to move, fight, and act with confidence and flair. Whether you’re into theater, film, cosplay, or just looking for a unique way to stay active, this one-day workshop is the perfect opportunity to combine exercise, coordination, and dramatic performance in a fun and supportive setting.

Led by instructor Lee Ann Hittenberger, the class covers stage-safe sword salutes, cuts, parries, and fight choreography. You’ll even learn a full fight sequence that will be filmed on the final day.

No prior experience is required, but a background in sports or performing arts will definitely help. All supplies, including safe theatrical swords, are provided. Just come dressed in clothes you can move in, tennis shoes, and leather gloves if possible.

  • Class Date: Sunday, June 1
  • Time: 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM
  • Location: Theater Lobby, SL016
  • Fee: $59

This is a fun, fast-paced — and there’s still time to sign up! Don’t miss your chance to channel your inner stage fighter and learn a cool new skill that’s equal parts performance and physicality.

Committee Updates  

Enrollments 

  • Archives of past daily enrollment reports are available to all employees. 

Student Support Services/Welcome Desk 

Beginning next week, we’ll have some transitions in the welcome desk staffing across campus. Fanaye Ashagari will be transitioning from the FOSS desk over to the PUB desk. We so appreciate all of the time and care she’s poured into students at the FOSS desk over the years and are glad she’ll be continuing with the team. We’ll have a new team member at the FOSS welcome desk full-time, providing customer service and processing admissions applications. Her name is Melanie, and I hope you’ll say hello if you find yourself near the welcome desk next week. 

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 FOSS Building. 

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.  

Foundation 

The Foundation is excited to announce that Jaime Puracal has joined the Foundation Board of Directors. Jaime has over 20 years of experience in construction management. We are excited for her to be a part of the Foundation and look forward to utilizing her skills and talents to build philanthropic support for SCC!  

The Foundation completed a robust audit by an independent auditing firm for fiscal year 22/23 and is psyched to announce it was a “clean” audit – A clean audit signifies that an independent auditor has found no significant issues or material misstatements in the financial records. The 23/24 audit has begun, and we expect it to be completed by late July. Once that audit is complete, the Foundation’s finances will be officially caught up and “recovered” from the March 2023 ransomware attack.  

Scholarships – Students were notified of their scholarship status last week. Students who were offered scholarships have until Monday 6/2 to submit their acceptance letters.  

Graduation – new this year… Some graduates may be wearing white cords as part of their regalia. Graduates wearing single white cords are recipients of a Shoreline Community College Foundation scholarship. These scholars worked diligently to earn this honor, demonstrating a commitment to their education and future aspirations. These cords serve as a testament to the students who wear them as well as the generosity of our donors, whose contributions empower students to achieve their dreams, reinforcing the transformative power of education and community investment. 

We are ramping up the Alumni program at Shoreline, and we need your help! Have some thoughts or ideas? Please contact Taisa at twelhasch@shoreline.edu
