Dear faculty and staff colleagues,

Thank you to all those who have already completed the employee communication survey. If you have not yet done so, you can still take the survey online through Friday, June 22.

Building on the work you began at Fall Convocation in 2017 to address and improve internal communication, we are asking for your participation in a brief baseline survey before you leave at the end of the quarter. The Communications, Marketing, and Community Engagement Strategic Planning Steering Committee is interested in hearing more about your preferences, needs, and challenges regarding employee communication on campus.

Please make sure your voice is heard by completing the online survey by Friday, June 22.

The survey is completely anonymous; no one will be able to identify your individual responses. We anticipate that the survey will take about 10 minutes to complete. Thank you in advance for your participation.

Sincerely,
The Communication, Marketing, and Community Engagement Steering Committee

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.

Every Wednesday, show your #PhinNation pride by wearing Shoreline attire. It’s a fun way to connect with colleagues and students each week. Don’t forget to take advantage of your employee discount at the Bookstore. Looking forward to seeing everyone decked out in Shoreline wear on Wednesdays!

Dear Colleague,

As has been our tradition for the past few years, we’re sending our 2018 graduates off with a video of congratulations from employees. This video will be shown to our graduates and their friends and family at the 2018 Commencement Ceremony. This year, rather than offering words of congratulations by department or division, the entire campus community will give our well wishes to students together as a united group.

Please gather with me on Monday, June 11 at 3:30 p.m. in the PUB Courtyard to take part in this video sending our students off with our acknowledgment of all their hard work. Please wear any Shoreline gear you have, and feel free to bring any signs, balloons, or items demonstrating spirit or cheer that you wish.

As a group, we will say one short line of congratulations to the camera. Filming shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes, so please participate if you can. It is our hope to demonstrate our care and support for each student and their future success by gathering as large a group of our #PhinFam as possible.

Phins Up! All In!
Cheryl
