Campus Updates 5/15/2025

May 15, 2025 by Leave a Comment

Hello all, hope you are doing well.  

It’s been another crazy week here – I Imagine for you as well.   

Last Thursday we had our amazing 60th anniversary!  This was such an amazing event.  It was great seeing faculty talks, alumni, and all kinds of representation of our institution.  The community seemed to have a great time as well.  Thanks to ALL who helped coordinate and a special thanks to Wendy Coates, Cat Chiappa, and our donors! 

On Wednesday, Megan Tucker, Wendy Coates, and I presented to the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce to discuss who we are, our challenges, and how the Chamber can continue to help us.  It was a good-sized meeting with a lot of engagement from the community.  We collected several names of folks who have ideas for internships and jobs for our students, which is great!  We went “old school” and had people write their emails on a notebook (gasp!).  We survived without a QR code. 

This week I am working on budget stuff, moving policy work forward, and trying to improve some items for our participatory governance next steps in the fall.  Hope to see some of you at the food truck later this afternoon. 

 Cheers, 

 Jack
