Reminder: Spring Quarter Campus Community Update is this Fri., May 20

May 16, 2016 by Leave a Comment

After months of work by hundreds of members of the campus and the community-at-large, our Strategic Plan is ready to roll out. Please join me and members of the Executive Team for a Campus Community Update on Friday, May 20, 2016 from 2:00 – 3:30 PM in the PUB’s Main Dining Room.

The work ahead involves gathering baseline data, researching best practices, and creating the annual plans to reach the five (5) year goals we have identified in our 2016 – 2021 Strategic Plan.  This will require new and some existing committees to recommend work through a shared planning and participatory structure.

At the May 20 Campus Community Update, we will:
• Outline the principles of the work ahead, describe the new Steering Committees, and give you an advance look at the structures and work to begin in the fall.

Your ongoing work is producing great results and the Executive Team and I will highlight some of those successes.

Folding together the current work we have been successfully doing, with the new and continuing work demanded by the Strategic Plan, will ensure our students’ achievement as we work together.

I look forward to seeing you on Friday, May 20 for this interactive conversation as we roll out the next chapter of our Strategic Plan.

edwin drood
Shoreline Community College presents this interactive whodunit mystery musical in Steampunk style.

The Mystery of Edwin Drood is a hilarious, interactive whodunit mystery musical that allows the audience to enter the action and become the ultimate detectives. The show is based on Charles Dickens’ unfinished novel of the same name. In small town of Chesterham, England, the young and charming Edwin Drood has been mysteriously murdered. But by whom? His leering romantic rival, John Jasper? The infamous purveyor of opium and vice, Princess Puffer? The mysterious Landless twins, newly arrived from Ceylon? Or someone else even more dastardly and villainous? Dickens passed away before he was able to reveal the culprit. Rupert Holmes’ award-winning musical solves this predicament by asking the audience to choose which character is the killer by putting it to a vote. Staged in metatheatrical manner by the Shoreline Community College Musical theater department, we have crafted a cast full of colorful characters while reflecting the modern world we live in today—Steampunk elements and gender bent roles. This charming and inventive musical is sure to intrigue and entertain any musical or mystery lover.

All actors play two parts. Each plays an actor of the Music Hall Royale and also the character he or she plays in their production of The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
