-Stuart Trippel, Senior Executive Director & CFO: Ext. 4672

Thank you.

Join Shoreline Community College for Seattle’s PRIDE Parade next Sun., Jun 24. This year the College will have a float in the parade and all students, faculty, staff, and friends are welcome to join in and march alongside the College float. Sign up here!

The parade runs along 4th Avenue in downtown Seattle, beginning at Union Street and running north to Denny Way. View the parade route.

Shoreline’s Project Pride Club is sponsoring the College entry in the Pride Parade, which is an annual event attended by thousands of spectators. This will be a fun event with great exposure for the College. Participants will be handing out Shoreline Community College beads to the crowds. If you have any questions, please contact Amy Stapleton at astaplet@shoreline.edu.

This is an exciting time of year for our students. It takes the efforts of many to put on Commencement, and we are putting out a call for volunteers to serve as ushers as well as others to help set up before and/or clean up after the reception that follows the ceremony on Thursday, June 21. Classified staff will need to get approval from their supervisor to volunteer for the ceremony. Due to the Commencement Ceremony occurring within the work week, staff are encouraged to work with their supervisors to flex the time within the week.

Please sign up here for more information.

The Administrator of the Year Award recognizes an administrative/exempt staff member who demonstrates exemplary work performance, outstanding leadership abilities, cooperative spirit and initiative in maintaining a positive campus environment, and a positive impact on students.  This award will be presented during the Fall Convocation.

Any Shoreline administrator, alumni, classified employee, faculty member, foundation board member, student, or trustee may nominate an eligible administrative/exempt member for consideration.

We recognize it’s a very busy time of year, but please take a moment to learn about how the following changes will affect information about you on the College website:

The Web Workgroup, in consultation with the Dean Team and the Program Navigation Workgroup, has been making substantial improvements to the Campus Directory, which will change how information about you appears to the public on the College website in the fall. These changes also allow us to move the biographical information from faculty web pages into the Directory – so all faculty information can be updated in one place. This is especially important to ensure the College remains in compliance with accreditation standards.

What’s Changing?

• If you log into the Campus Directory System, you’ll see that new fields have been added for biography, education/training, classes taught, and photo.
• Individual faculty web pages will be taken off the site during fall quarter and replaced with the more robust Directory information. The Directory data will also be used across the website, wherever faculty and staff information needs to appear (e.g. academic program pages, department pages, contact pages). This will be a more efficient way to keep contact information and bios accurate for website visitors.

The following sections indicate actions needed, according to your employee group. If you are a classified or administrative staff member, please skip down to the relevant section.

What Do Faculty Need to Do?

Faculty members should log into the Campus Directory System and update their individual directory information as soon as possible, ideally before the summer:

• Biography: You may add a 150-word biographical statement that relates to your professional role at Shoreline
• Education/Certifications: This field will be filled in automatically if you are a full-time faculty member. If you are a part-time faculty member and you would like your education to be shown, you may contact HR to request that your relevant credentials be added.
• Classes Taught: This field will automatically list classes you’ve taught in the last year
• Optional Photo: You can elect to display your employee ID photo on web pages where your name and information appears, but it will not display unless you adjust your Directory settings to do so. If you have an employee ID photo that is older than 5 years, you may retake a new photo in the Bookstore during fall quarter. (Watch for additional details in the fall!)
• Office Hours: Be sure to update your office hours for summer or fall quarter – this is the only way students will see your hours on the website
• Separate Faculty Web Page: If you also have a separate faculty web page, you’ll need to prepare for that page to be deleted during the fall, as it will be replaced by the Directory. Move any biographical information into your Directory listing. Move any instructional materials/academic resources from your current faculty web pages to a different platform. (Classroom-related content may be appropriate for either Canvas or Library Learning Guides. Please work with your dean to determine the best place for you to move this content before or during fall quarter.)

What Do Classified and Administrative Staff Need to Do?

Staff members should log into the Campus Directory System and update their individual directory information as soon as possible, ideally before the summer:

• Biography: You may add an optional 150-word biographical statement that relates to your professional role at Shoreline
• Education/Certifications: This field will be filled in automatically if you are an administrative exempt employee. If you are a classified employee and you would like your education to be shown, you may contact HR to request that your credentials be added.
• Optional Photo: You can elect to display your employee ID photo on web pages where your name and information appears but it will not display unless you adjust your Directory settings to do so. If you have an employee ID photo that is older than 5 years, you may retake a new photo in the Bookstore during fall quarter. (Watch for additional details about this in the fall!)

Questions?

If you have any questions or concerns about this process, please contact your dean or supervisor, or email websupport@shoreline.edu.

Thank you!
