Shared Values & Differences: A conversation with students from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tues., May 9

Join the GAC on Tues., May 9, 12:30-1:20 p.m. in the PUB 9208. 

In spite of differences between modern Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, there are many cultural values that the people of these territories have in common.  This will be a student-led discussion of shared values, differences in outlooks, and ways in which cooperation can be advanced among the three territories.

Calling all staff: Volunteers needed for Commencement Ceremony 2017

Call for Volunteers – faculty, staff, and administrators who are not planning to walk at the 2017 Commencement Ceremony

This is an exciting time of year for our students. It takes the efforts of many to put on Commencement, so I am 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 Sun., June 11. Ushers are also asked to attend the beginning of the rehearsal on Fri., June 9 at 1:30 p.m. to listen to a short talk by Edwin Lucero, Acting Supervisor of Safety and Security. The time commitment on Sunday would be approximately 3-4 hours. Classified staff can earn overtime pay or work with their supervisors to flex the time later in the week.

Show your continued support for students by helping them celebrate this special day in their lives. If you are planning to volunteer, please email Nancy Marshall directly at nmarshall@shoreline.edu with “Call for Volunteers” in the subject line and what you would like to do to help out. Those who volunteer will hear back from me soon with more details about Commencement Day itself. If you have questions, please feel free to call me at (206) 546-4641.

Many thanks,
Nancy Marshall
Dean of Students Office

Volunteers needed for SIFF concessions

Have fun serving popcorn and candy and get free movie tickets! Seattle International Film Festival is coming to Shoreline for the second year this May 26 through June 3!

The Foundation is handling the concessions and needs volunteers to work for two films (about 4-5 hours) on these days and then you will get two tickets to SIFF films here at Shoreline. You also need to attend a short 30-minute orientation at the theater on May 23 or May 24, time to be announced.

Concessions shifts are generally noon to 5 p.m. and 5 to 10 p.m. on weekends and Memorial Day and from 5 to 10 p.m. on weeknights. These may change slightly depending which day you work.

The tickets are good for any film shown on our campus on any of the nine days of screenings. (You need to work a different time than the film you want to see plays). See the schedule of films here.

Concessions include popcorn, candy, soda, and water. The separate bar includes beer and wine. You must be at least 21 years of age with an ID to serve alcohol.

To sign up for a shift, email: mbrueggeman@shoreline.edu
