April 10, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Have you been wanting to donate to the Mark F. and Tiffany T. McVeety Student Fund 1?

Now is the time to do it!

The fund is now up to $23,739, just $1,261 short of the $25,000 goal for the fund to become an endowment and provide assistance to students in perpetuity.

John Backes, former Shoreline Community College Faculty and VP of Academic and Student Affairs and former Board Member of Shoreline Community College Foundation, has offered a match of your donations of up to $500 to help push this fund to $25,000 this month.

You can make your donation to the McVeety Student Fund with a credit card over the phone to the Foundation office at 206-533-6783 or write a check to the Shoreline Community College Foundation and put “McVeety Student Fund” in the memo of the check. The Foundation is located in the Admin Building and the address is: 16101 Greenwood Avenue North, Room #1005, Shoreline, WA 98133. Your gift is 100% tax deductible. The Foundation’s non-profit tax ID # is: 91-1265475.

Mark McVeety was a faculty member and liaison to the City of Shoreline and former President of the Shoreline Community College Foundation. Mark passed away just this past December from a life threatening illness. The Mark F. and Tiffany T. McVeety Student Fund 1 was established by Mark and Tiffany before Mark passed for the purpose of assisting students who experience a serious illness and have to drop out of school losing cost of tuition, books and parking. This fund will make it possible for the student(s) to return to Shoreline Community College when they are able without the worry of tuition, books and parking expenses.

Make a difference in the life of a student experiencing health issues and make a donation in the memory of Mark McVeety to the Mark F. and Tiffany T McVeety Student Fund 1. You will be helping their dream of making this an endowment come true.

Thank you,

Mary

Summer hours schedule starts June 20th

April 10, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Shoreline Community College will adjust to summer public operating hours starting Monday, June 20th through Friday, September 2nd.

Starting on June 20th, the official college hours of business will be 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Thursday. On Fridays, the hours will be 8 a.m. to Noon. The campus will close at Noon on Fridays for public and student services. On September 5th following the Labor Day holiday, the campus will return to the regular schedule, which is 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 8 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. on Friday.

“This adjustment will allow the college to continue to serve our students and communities while also allowing our terrific employees an opportunity to balance their work and their lives outside of the College,” President Cheryl Roberts said.

To maintain a 40-hour work week, the schedule for most employees will be “four nine-hour days and a one four-hour day,” said Stephen Smith, Vice President for Human Resources and Legal Affairs. “The summer schedule will allow most employees to work nine hours each day, Monday through Thursday, four hours on Friday and then be off for the weekend,” he said. He also noted that for the week of July 4th, a Monday holiday this year, full-time Classified employees will need to work 32 hours Tuesday through Friday at Noon of that week. Employees should confirm an appropriate schedule for their position with their supervisor before May 20, 2016.

Smith noted that some departments, such as the Parent-Child Center, Safety and Security, and Facilities will continue with their regular academic year schedules based on business needs. For all other areas of the college prior to June 20th, employees and supervisors will work together to finalize summer schedules that ensure department needs are fully met with adequate staff coverage during the official business hours of the College and that alternative schedules don’t create additional costs.

“We want employees to enjoy the opportunity for our schedule flexibility when practical,” Smith said. “We also share responsibilities to fulfill our shared mission by ensuring college services are available, accessible, and meeting the needs of our current and future students.”

WSDOT Traffic Alert – Busy Weekend ahead!

April 8, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Westbound SR 520 traffic to switch over to new bridge Monday, April 11
In four days, drivers going from Bellevue to Seattle will have a chance to be one of the first to navigate across the new SR 520 floating bridge! In order to switch westbound traffic to the new bridge, contractor crews will have to close both directions of SR 520 between Montlake Boulevard East/SR 513 and 92nd Avenue Northeast from 11 p.m. Friday, April 8, to 5 a.m. Monday, April 11. Eastbound traffic will switch over to the new bridge following another full weekend closure April 22-25.

Northbound SR 99 Aurora Bridge nightly lane closures begin next week Seattle’s SR 99 Aurora Bridge is in the midst of a makeover and crews will need some extra space on the right side of the northbound lanes to move the work platform as part of their bridge painting and preservation project. Expect up to two right lanes of the northbound direction of the bridge to be closed from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly, beginning Monday night, April 11, and continuing into the first part of May. No lane closures are allowed on Friday nights.

Gearing up for another round of the #SnoCoSqueeze Get ready for six more weekends of I-5 lane reductions between Everett and Marysville for expansion joint replacement work — this time in the northbound direction. When the weather allows crews to restripe overnight next week, northbound drivers will see three narrower lanes and a speed limit of 45 mph. The three lanes will be reduced to two lanes for five weekends beginning next weekend, April 15-18. Plan for extended delays and congestion once this northbound work begins. To avoid narrow or reduced lane traffic while you visit the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival – consider going this weekend. Even without daytime construction – expect high traffic volumes as you head into Mount Vernon and on Skagit County roads.

One week until full closure of SR 410 White River Bridge April 15-23
If you use SR 410 between Enumclaw and Buckley, you have one week to complete plans to navigate around a full closure of the White River Bridge. In order to repair damage the bridge suffered when it was struck by an over-height load in 2015, contractor crews will close the bridge at 10 p.m. Friday, April 15. They are scheduled to reopen the bridge by noon Saturday, April 23. During the closure, SR 410 will be closed to all but local traffic at 244th Avenue Southeast in Enumclaw and Park Avenue in Buckley. Drivers must use a detour route via SR 164, SR 18, SR 167 and SR 410 that takes approximately 45 minutes, depending on traffic. For safety reasons, there will be no pedestrian or bicycle access across the White River Bridge during the closure. Vehicles responding to emergencies will be allowed to cross at certain times.
