Meet Shoreline’s new goat team!

Meet our new friends – the goat team!

Shoreline has enlisted the help of some furry friends to help get the blackberry bushes, Scotch broom, and other invasive plant species over by the track in check! Our goat team will be here every Tuesday through August 9, with some possible additional days depending on “processing” time. Head on over on your lunch break and say hello! They’re fenced in and safe to observe. 

Fourth of July message from President Roberts

Dear Colleague,

As we prepare for the 4th of July weekend, let’s take time to celebrate the vision of an America we have the opportunity to realize. It’s a day that reminds us of what we strive to be as a people and as a nation. So, as you celebrate with family and friends, appreciate good food and fireworks that make your spirit soar.

Enjoy!
Cheryl

Construction Update

5000 Career and Counseling Center
The college had planned to create a new space for students to receive career and counseling services. Please refer to this March DAAG article for details. After three months of pre-design work, we received the estimate from the architect, which resulted in the decision to re-think the project.

This means the services offered in the Workforce area will remain in their existing location on the first floor of the FOSS building.

4000 Building Update
The bids have been received and the contractor should be on site sometime in the next few weeks. The work in the 4000 building is moving forward as planned.
