Amazon Recruiter Ben Johnson is joining us this Friday (5/6) to talk about life at Amazon and how you can fit in. Great positions for summer and part- and full-time opportunities are in abundance for moving throughout the company.

The workplace culture is “output oriented,” and if you demonstrate success and get work done at a high level, the hours get flexible, the workplace quality comparable (or even better) than any other online retail company. But Ben can tell you much more about it all on Friday. Another one of those “if you want/need a job, you can start working soon” type events! As always, great coffee and great snacks compliments of Central Market.

See you Friday, and as always – Good Luck Out There!

Reminder and date change for climate talk with Michael Foster of 350.org

The campus community is invited to attend a two-day lecture by Michael Foster of 350.org, one of the major organizations fighting against global warming. Michael will be speaking to two English 101 classes on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 10 and 11, at 8:30 am am in Room 1727. Faculty are welcome to bring their classes. Note: this is a schedule change from the previous announcement, which listed the talks as occurring on Monday and Tuesday.

Please RSVP to Nancy Eichner at neichner@shoreline.edu if you plan to attend so that we can ensure the space is big enough to accommodate everyone.

A little about Michael Foster: He has an excellent Power Point presentation and connects well with students. He is a clinical psychologist by trade, but has devoted himself to the anti-global warming struggle for several years. One of his major accomplishments has been to establish and direct the local Plant for the Planet group, an international organization begun a few years ago by a nine-year-old from Germany. Michael has been trained in presenting to groups about climate change by Al Gore’s foundation.

The first day of Michael’s presentation will be about the climate change situation—a survey of global warming causes and effects. The second day focuses on solutions.

We hope to see you May 9 and 10 – please remember to rsvp to neichner@shoreline.edu if you can make it!

It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. Since its inception, this day has continually united Americans from all socio-economic, political, and ethnic backgrounds in prayer while also encouraging personal repentance and righteousness in the culture. The National Day of Prayer belongs to all Americans and is a day that transcends differences, bringing together citizens together in celebration of  prayer.

This year’s observance for Shoreline/LFP will be held at the campus gymnasium, Thurs., May 5 at 7pm, and is sponsored by the Open Door Christian Fellowship of SCC, along with other college clubs and local places of worship.

Ride the wave and refer students to come SEA us!

Dear Campus:

The Shoreline Early Alert (SEA) team would like to thank staff and faculty for continuing to refer students to academic intervention, support, and services! We are currently at over 160 (domestic and international) SEA referrals…that’s over double where we were at this point last quarter! Thank you for continuing to support our students and connecting them to resources.

Since an early alert works best when it’s early, this is a reminder that May 9th is the last day a “W” grade is issued, so there is still time to refer students for intervention. Examples of SEA referrals include: 

  • Low test scores
  • Unexplained excessive absenteeism or tardiness
  • Pacing in an online class
  • Not doing assignments
  • Financial matters
  • External concerns

What happens next:
After our team receives a referral a member will work to respond within 24 hours to both you and the student. We continue to reach out to the student in order to set up an initial meeting where we assess the student’s needs and most appropriate resources. *REMINDER: Intervention is a process and may not produce immediate results. Our goal is to reach out to the student early in the quarter and connect them to the appropriate resources.*

Visit our site to learn more about SEA or to view our Referral Form.

We look forward to continuing to work with you and to support our students!

Thanks,
Nicki Sunwall, Erin Wilson, Lianne Almughirah, Jennifer Coogan
