Shoreline Community College will be hosting a Running Start Night for interested high school students on Wednesday, April 9, 2025 from 6:00-8:00pm in the Main Dining Room of the 9000 Building.
Event Schedule:
Hello Campus Community,
Update 1: Roof Work
Our recent roof project got off track due to the ice and the need to do more repairs to the roof at 2900 building. Due to these delays, the 2900 building is still in process and the timeline for 3000, 4000, and 1600 has shifted. Here is the new schedule starting next week.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Please check your e-mail for the SDS forms.
Update 2: Bridge Repair
We will be starting our pedestrian bridge repair project at building 3000 next week. The purpose of this project is to reseal the top deck of the pedestrian bridge, resurface and fill in the cracks on the pedestrian ramp, and repair/seal the concrete underneath the pedestrian bridge. The project schedule will run from 3/24/25 to 6/5/25.
3/24/25-4/4/25 – Contractor will start with the top of pedestrian bridge. The bridge will be closed in sections to allow for access. The Contractor will also be closing the ramp at 3000 to resurface and fill in the cracks. SDS for the sealant will soon follow.
4/21/25 – 5/16/25 – Contractor will be working underneath the 3000 pedestrian bridge to seal/repair the concrete. There will be access to 3000 underneath the bridge.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Kim Clark
Director of Facilities and Capital Projects
We have some exciting news to share with you! Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal will visit Shoreline Community College for a “Fireside Chat” on Thursday, March 20, 2025, from 11:45 AM – 12:45 PM in the 9000 Building’s Main Dining Room.
As Shoreline’s Congressional Representative for Washington’s 7th District, Congresswoman Jayapal will share insights about her background, her work in Congress, and her efforts on behalf of Washington State. She will also take questions from our community, creating an opportunity for meaningful dialogue.
This event is a chance for us to discuss Shoreline’s needs, learn how we can collaborate, and explore ways to support her work.
Elected in 2016, Congresswoman Jayapal is now serving her fifth term in Congress. She is the first South Asian American woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and one of only two dozen naturalized citizens currently serving. She is a Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement and also serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Budget Committee. To learn more about her work, please visit her website.
This is a wonderful opportunity for Shoreline, and we hope you’ll join us. A big thank you to the WAVES Center for helping to organize this important conversation. Please help spread the word to your colleagues and students!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Events and News
Hope all are doing well – it’s been a really busy week for events!
The Korean School launch last Saturday was really fun and celebratory. We have another enrollment event coming up in Bellevue this Saturday. A lot to do as we sort out the pieces here, but lots of enthusiasm and support will get us there!
We were so fortunate to have hip-hop artist, producer, activist, artist, and scholar Olmeca on campus last week. He coordinated one of our DEI check-ins and did a powerful presentation on RADICAL LOVE, including his unique hip-hop style with strong messages, beautiful visuals, and really creative performances. It was nice seeing folks there, and you are lucky I took photos and didn’t dance!
The student art show was a huge success (as always) thanks to our wonderful faculty, Zach Mazur, the Shoreline Community College Foundation, the student Jazz Band, and of course the amazing students (duh!). As usual it was super hard to pick the “Presidents Award” this year. I did get to chat with the young man I chose, and he was cool and so enthusiastic about being here.
A great end-of-quarter celebration/awards ceremony was put on by the student clubs of the Multicultural Center. Amidst all the chaos these days, students finding time to be together and celebrate each other is pretty beautiful. Community College students are awesome!
As part of our strategic plan, we implemented quarterly fun events on campus as an aspect of employee engagement. This week was the first official SNACKTACULAR EVENT where employees were exposed to a variety of munchies with an emphasis on sampling unique varieties (I was a fan of the pickle puffs, for example). The event was PACKED and a great way to connect with each other. I needed more photos- my apologies!
American Honda Motor Company has featured our program in its latest national marketing campaign and website updates! This campaign highlights the incredible benefits of dealerships hiring Honda PACT graduates from professional technical programs across the country. The testimonials selected for this feature include SCC Honda PACT graduates, many of whom are our local industry partners. Thank you to all the faculty including Rashawn Smith, Amber Avery-Graff, and director Gary Fantozzi who keep providing amazing opportunities for our students!
Please register and join us next week for the LGBTQ Commission event Wednesday from 10-11:30. Executive Director Lisa Keating will update our community on the legislative work of the Commission and engage us in a dialogue on how to continue to support one another.
Cheers,
Jack
