While President Roberts is off campus, the AIC (Administrator In Charge) for the College is:
• Mary Brueggeman, Vice President & Executive Director– Ext. 6724 or ext. 4755 (for Karla Belmonte, Executive Director)
Thank you.
Dear Campus Community,
At the end of spring quarter, I had shared with the College that no hire was selected from the initial applicant pool for the Vice President for Business & Administrative Services (VP-B&AS) position. Since that time, several late applications meeting minimum position qualifications have been received. In addition, there are now multiple other executive level Administrative Services position being recruited within the community and technical college system and there is a concern that waiting until fall quarter to review and interview the new applicants (as originally planned) may result in a loss of qualified candidates to other colleges.
With that mind, I have worked with the faculty and classified unions to identify a process that will meet our urgent need to staff the VP-B&AS as soon as possible. As a result of these conversations, I am moving forward to review and select a VP-B&AS for a 1 year temporary appointment through June 30, 2020 through review and analysis of applicants via zoom interviews early next week. Available screening committee members, direct reports to the position and executive team members will also have a chance to give feedback early next week on these applicants. Depending on the outcome of this recruitment process, the College will determine the best direction going forward and then communicate with the campus about next steps.
Thank you as always for your work and diligence in support of the College.
Gratefully,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

Coordination around campus outreach events is one function of the Recruiters Roundtable group. Facilitated by Communications & Marketing, this team meets monthly to discuss outreach events among staff who are primarily focused on outward-facing recruitment. This group has created a shared master Recruiting Events calendar, which all Shoreline staff are welcome to review at any time (instructions below).
If you know of faculty/staff who are attending recruiting events out in the community or especially visiting high schools, please contact Amy Stapleton prior to the event to coordinate plans. For questions on Recruiters Roundtable, contact Lori Maxfield.
How to view the Shared Calendar Resource for “Recruiting Events”

You can now view all other Recruiting Events that have been indicated by other recruiters across campus. If you wish to join or learn more about an event, contact the event owner directly.
On Monday, July 22, a flyer was discovered in the Library that encouraged reporting individuals who are undocumented to law enforcement. The flyer was removed and Safety & Security continues to monitor the campus for any other materials of this nature. According to Safety & Security, Edmonds Community College also found similar flyers on their campus on the same day.
At this time, I want to reaffirm that Shoreline Community College serves and supports all students, regardless of immigration status. We do not request or collect immigration documentation except as needed to determine eligibility for resident tuition. Additionally:
I know many people may be feeling distress about current anti-immigration sentiments and practices in this country. If students or employees are experiencing anxiety, stress, or fear, I encourage you to access free and confidential counseling resources:
Please know all are welcome here.
Respectfully,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
