International Peer Mentor presents the annual Global Showcase on Tuesday, February 28, 12:30 – 3:30 p.m. in the PUB Main Dining Room.
Join us for cultural presentations by students from diverse cultures of Shoreline Community College. There will be student performances and a Fashion Show. Students, faculty, and staff are invited to participate and learn more about the various traditions and cultures from the representatives. Everyone is all welcome!
Men’s and Women’s Basketball host Everett Community College on Wed., March 1. This is the last home game of the season and we will be celebrating the Sophomores in their final home games as Shoreline Dolphins. The Women will tip-off at 5:30 p.m., with the Men following at 7:30 p.m.
The game carries extra weight for the Men’s team as they look to win the North Region title outright. The men are currently ranked #6 in the latest Under Armour NWAC Coaches Poll and sit atop of the North Region standings with a 10-3 North Region record. Shoreline has already clinched a share of the North Region Championship, and a win on Wednesday night will give the Phins the North Region title all to themselves.
Come out and support the Phins for the last time in The Aquarium (main gym, 3000 bldg.) this Wed., March 1 at 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.!

Join us in the PUB 9208 on Wed., March 1 from 1-2 p.m. for this Got Your 6 training opportunity.
Many veterans have experienced sexual trauma while in service to their country. This workshop will address topics including a familiarization with military culture, how military sexual trauma occurs in a military culture context, how military sexual trauma is defined, identifying military sexual trauma, and how to address exposed difficulties as a result of military sexual trauma. Presented by Kimberly Hardy, Project Director for the Veterans Training & Support Center. This training counts toward the GOT YOUR 6 designation.
Two important surveys launch Mon., Feb. 27. The first is the Community College Faculty Survey of Student Engagement. This survey, a companion to the Community College Survey of Student Engagement, is administered through the University of Texas at Austin and allows for comparison between students’ and faculty members’ perspectives on the Shoreline learning experience. Faculty should be receiving an email from the University of Texas at Austin – please keep an eye out for that survey.
The second survey is brief and is part of an important learning outcomes assessment project. Below is an invitation from the faculty and staff involved:
Dear Colleagues,
How does a Shoreline education improve a student’s ability to write effectively?
Here is one of our general education outcomes for students:
Formulate and express information, ideas, and opinions in mechanically sound written forms that have a clear purpose, focus, thesis, and organization; that are appropriate for their audience in content and style; and that support, clarify, and expand complex ideas with relevant details, examples, and arguments. [Communication sub-outcome 4]
Over the past 18 months, a small group of faculty has partnered with researchers from Shoreline’s Office of Institutional Assessment and Data Management to tackle the challenge of finding out whether our students meet our general education outcomes.
After a promising pilot study assessing our Global Awareness outcome, a working group is launching a full study of the impact of Shoreline education on students’ ability to communicate in written form, as described above.
Are writing skills gained cumulatively?
An analysis of our MCO system revealed that 84% of all Shoreline courses listed at least one assessment of the ability to write effectively, as described in our general education outcome. To assess this outcome adequately, we need to have a robust, cross-campus assessment effort.
Please contribute three minutes to this important study.
The first phase of our study will be to understand more about where and how Shoreline students have the opportunity to gain written communication skills. The survey, which you can access here, will ask you about three courses you have taught recently. It is a brief, confidential survey, and will only take about three minutes to complete.
Thank you for your time!
