Executive Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs – Failed Search

April 7, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to thank the EVP-ASA Screening Committee members for their time and good work in following the recruitment search process and recommending four finalists for my consideration. After the President, the EVP-ASA is the most senior position at the college. When we looked at recruitment for this position, we changed the title to the Executive Vice President acknowledging its importance.

I would also like to thank the Dean Team and the entire campus community for your interest and involvement in meeting, interviewing, asking excellent questions at the open forums, and providing feedback on the finalists. I carefully considered all available information including your comments and feedback and have determined this to be a “failed search.”

We do have viable options available to us. Unfortunately, Bob Francis is retiring from the Office of Academic and Student Affairs and does not represent one of those options. There are qualified executives available nationally on a shorter term basis. I will consider all options and will bear in mind the importance of selecting the best person to help the College move forward into our new and comprehensive strategic plan. I expect to have further information to share with the campus by the middle of next week.

Thank you for your involvement in our search for this key position and your dedication to our future.

Best regards,
Cheryl
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

April 4, 2016 by 3 Comments

IMG_7896Rob Berg comes to Shoreline following a long history of work as a staff and freelance video producer, where he created award-winning videos that span a wide range of topics for education, business, and non-profits.

Berg’s work in the Northwest began in 1990 while working as the staff producer at Seattle’s ProVideo Productions, where he created training videos and programs for continuing education for the legal community. Later, as a staff producer at both Northlight Communications and Western Video and Digital Media, he created a series of commercials and videos that broadened his video creation experience even further as he served clients that included Microsoft, T-Mobile, and Publicis.

For the past ten years, Rob was a freelance videographer/producer serving clients in education, aviation, software, construction and video gaming. It was in this capacity that Rob produced a series of documentary style programs for Seattle Schools designed to help recruit quality teachers by featuring instructors with inspirational stories.

In his off-time Rob enjoys recording time-lapse sequences, disc golf, playing guitar, home remodeling, and theater.
