The Shoreline Office of Institutional Assessment and Data Management (IADM) will be sponsoring 3–5 faculty-led projects during the 2016-2017 academic year. The projects will focus on “closing the loop” with assessment; teams of faculty will “review, assess, reflect, and act” based on student learning outcomes for one course or series of courses.

The maximum total amount of each award will be $2,000. Applications are due Mon., Oct. 31. Please click here or contact Bayta Maring (bmaring@shoreline.edu) for more information.

Last weekend to catch Urinetown: The Musical

October 12, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Urinetown: The Musical concludes its run this Sun., Oct. 16. Get your tickets today!
urinetownPresented by Shoreline Community College and the Musical and Opera Program, this production is made possibly by the generous support of the Student Leadership Center.

Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critic’s Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards, and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective of one of America’s greatest art forms.

In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides he’s had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown catapults the “comedic romp” into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit, and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter.

New session of Mental Health First Aid Training open Oct. 28 and Nov. 4

October 11, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Are you interested in being able to assist someone experiencing a mental health related crisis or non-crisis situation and where to turn for help?

Before you can know how to help, you need to know when to help.

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an internationally recognized program designed to build mental health literacy within our communities — or a basic understanding of what different mental health illnesses and addictions are, how they can affect a person’s daily life, and what helps individuals experiencing these challenges get well.

You will learn about: 

·  Depression and mood disorders

·  Anxiety disorders

·  Trauma

·  Psychosis

·  Substance Use disorders

·  How to help someone who may be experiencing thoughts of suicide or harm

Mental Health First Aid teaches about recovery and resiliency — the belief that individuals experiencing these challenges can and do get better, and use their strengths to stay well.

Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack — even with no clinical training — becoming a Mental Health First Aider will train you to provide initial help to people experiencing mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety disorders, psychosis and substance use disorders as well as how to help someone who may be experiencing thoughts of harm or suicide.

This training is FREE and will be offered in two (2) – 4.5-hour sessions:
Friday, October 28 AND Friday, November 4 from 12 – 4:30 pm

You MUST attend BOTH training sessions to receive an MHFA handbook and become a certified Mental Health First Aider.

Please email Sheryl Copeland at scopeland@shoreline.edu to register and/or find out more information. Once registered, details as far as room location, etc. will be shared.

Be well!!  – Sheryl

Your Feedback Matters! College Identity Survey – Still time to complete the survey

October 11, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Dear Colleague,

We are conducting a survey among employees and students based on the college identity project we began last winter. The goal of the project is to help us clearly define the College’s unique advantages to attract more students. Last academic year, many of you participated in listening sessions about the strengths, misperceptions, and descriptors of the College. Based on that information and over 350 community survey responses, we developed messages that describe the College.

Now we need your feedback on whether the messages developed truly do describe the College. Please complete the survey in the link below by October 17, 2016:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/shoreline-college-identity

The survey takes less than 15 minutes to complete. Click on only one answer per question unless instructed otherwise. Please note the questions in this survey are not related to the values exercise you recently participated in during Fall Convocation.

CLARUS Corporation – whose insights and coaching are helping us improve our student enrollment work – is coordinating this survey on behalf of the College, and your individual responses to the survey are confidential. Your answers will be combined with others’ participating in the study, and only general data will be shared with the College. For any technical questions or problems, please contact CLARUS Corporation (308.762.2565, ext. 104 or ashley@claruscorporation.com).

Thank you for helping us in deliver on the promises we make to our students and community. And remember you only have until Monday, October 17, 2016 to complete the survey!

With gratitude,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
