Update on the search for Dean of Advanced Technology and Workforce

August 26, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Good morning,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to give you information about the status of the Dean of Advanced Technology and Workforce position. Let me begin by expressing my gratitude to the screening committee, who did an outstanding job with the process and the search.

In the end, the search was unsuccessful. At this time, we are reevaluating the position designation and working to determine our next steps prior to re-opening the position. In the interim, Guy Hamilton has graciously agreed to assume the additional leadership role in the Automotive programs, and will keep limited hours in the Automotive Building.

During this period, the Workforce Education programs will report directly to me in the office of Academic and Student Affairs. 

Thank you for your patience during this transition time. I’m looking forward to  working alongside you as we welcome the new academic year!

With best regards,

Alison Stevens

Executive VP, Academic and Student Affairs

Mark your calendar for the flu shot clinic Wed, Sept. 21

August 24, 2016 by 1 Comment

Shoreline will host a flu immunization clinic from 9 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 21, in Room 9202 PUB. Immunizations will be available by the Seattle Visiting Nurse Association for students, faculty, and staff.

The association can bill most major health insurance plans – Regence, Premera, Group Health, United Healthcare, Molina, Community Health plan, Coordinated Care, and Aetna – for the flu immunizations. They do not bill Cigna, Kaiser, or TriCare. In order to process the billing, those receiving a flu shot must complete a patient consent form, which includes name, address, date of birth, and individual insurance subscriber number.

For those without insurance, the shots are $28, which can be paid in cash or check. Credit or debit cards are not accepted.

More information about vaccinations is available on this flyer and at www.cdc.gov/flu.

According to health officials, in addition to vaccination, personal preventative measures are among the most effective in preventing getting and spreading diseases such as the flu. Recommendations include:

  • Practice good hygiene
    • Wash hands with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand cleaners. When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or use your elbow or shoulder, not into your hands. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
  • Know the signs and symptoms
    • Look for signs of fever, such as feeling very warm, a flushed appearance, and sweating or shivering. A fever is a temperature taken with a thermometer that is equal to or greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius.

Ongoing efforts by the college to promote flu awareness and health include:

  • Posting informational posters about hand-washing and germ-containment practices in all restrooms
  • Keeping restrooms well-stocked with soap and paper towels
  • Using good custodial practices, including:
    • Complete restroom cleaning
    • Disinfectant wipe-downs of door handles
    • Spray disinfectant for commonly touched surfaces

The college website has additional information about measures in place regarding infectious diseases.

Announcement from President Roberts: Financial Areas & Leadership Centralization

August 23, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Dear Colleague,

Shoreline Community College is centralizing the leadership of its financial areas. This change will provide for the consolidation of budget, finance, capital, and other operational functions under Executive Team member Stuart Trippel. Dawn Vinberg, who will remain as Executive Director for Budget and Capital, will now report to Trippel, whose new title will be Senior Executive Director and CFO.

As Executive Director for Budget and Capital, Vinberg will continue to provide leadership to the Facilities and Safety and Security Departments, in addition to the Budget Office. “After reflection, I asked President Roberts for the opportunity and additional time to concentrate on operational projects that are vital to the College,” said Vinberg. “We have a lot of capital projects. We also need to focus on developing a comprehensive emergency management plan, which is critical to all of higher education, including Shoreline. In addition, I look forward to partnering with departments to explore streamlining our work as a college.”

President Cheryl Roberts noted, “As we move forward into the world of the new allocation model for state funding, having all financial functions reporting through a single executive will ensure that we are responsive to changing conditions. I continue to have confidence in Dawn’s leadership and appreciate her willingness to focus on these areas.”

The change will take effect immediately. Both Vinberg and Trippel will remain in their current offices in Building 1000.

Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
