On Fri., May 18, Shoreline Community College is hosting the 19th annual Northwest Association for Biomedical Research (NWBAR) Expo. The NWBAR encourages students to demonstrate their knowledge of the disciplines of biotechnology and biomedicine in creative ways. We are expecting 300-350 high school students from 20 regional schools to come to our campus with their presentations. Their activities will mostly take place in the PUB (9000) and Theater (1600) buildings.

Buses will start arriving with students outside the 1000 building at 7:15 a.m., and the students will be on campus until 2 p.m. Judges, parents, and teachers may utilize some of our parking spaces. The cafeteria will be open while the displays are up in the main dining room. Eating tables will be scattered throughout the building for this one-day event. Please welcome these future scientists to our campus! If you have any questions, please contact Amy Stapleton, astaplet@shoreline.edu.

Please join us on Fri., May 18 for the final Campus Update of 2017–2018. The steering committees (Learning Outcomes Assessment; Communication, Marketing, and Community Engagement; Disciplined Excellence; Inclusive Excellence; and Ecological Integrity), council (Strategic Planning and Budget), and coordinating committee (Student Learning Experience) will share committee and council work in relation to the College’s Strategic Plan Goals—including action plans and milestones.

The Campus Update will be recorded and the link to the video provided after closed captioning is completed. The campus update will be from 1:30-3pm on Fri., May 18 in Room 2308, 2300 Bldg.

Greetings from the Office of Student Learning & Success,

I hope you will be available to join us for a lively brainstorming session on May 24^th, 2018 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the PUB Quiet Dining Room to discuss future directions for Shoreline’s lecture programs and series. We want to learn from you about what kinds of gatherings, presentations, and learning experiences you think Shoreline is known for, and might want to provide more of, as well as how we might organize our events and activities to best further our strategic plan and move our work forward on the 3 “E’s.”

The conversation will address how we can create intentional experiences for our students, employees, and the diverse communities we serve, and create structures that can effectively sustain these efforts. We will build on the work of the Global Affairs Center and Equity and Social Justice lectures and trainings, but will also include other offerings Shoreline provides to our communities, such as Student Life’s Margin to Center and the Parent Ed Lecture Series.

The conversation is intended as a beginning, and a true brainstorm – all ideas are welcome, including ideas that build on the other ideas that come up as we discuss! The goal is to start to frame a cohesive programming plan that can evolve and grow based on our college’s strategic work. We would like to consider the various types of resources that are currently used for our lecture and presentation series and how we might best allocate those resources. The discussion could also touch on the intersection with our curriculum and how we might approach a multi-year progression of events and activities, building upon each other.

I look forward to seeing you at our brainstorm! If you are unable to attend but interested, please let me know – we may set up a second day and time to accommodate as many people as possible in this first conversation.

Thank you,
Alison
