Long-Time Business Faculty Member Jerry Baker Passes

jerry bakerJerry Baker, one of Shoreline’s Business Faculty, passed away on Sat., August 15. Baker had taught at Shoreline since September 1998 in the Supply Chain Management program, and he was instrumental in building the program and recently achieved Quality Matters certification for all of his online courses (the entire program is taught online).

Baker joined the faculty at Shoreline Community College after a long career in Supply Management. His most recent position prior to joining us was as the Executive Vice President of the Institute for Supply Management (the professional society for individuals in supply management). He loved teaching here, and he often told Cathy Otto that he was teaching to “give back to his profession.” We are particularly fortunate to have had Jerry share his passion for his profession, for student development and for excellence. We are grateful that he chose Shoreline Community College to share his expertise.

Vote for Dave Snell’s Son as Outstanding Minor League Player of the Year!

 blake snell
Blake Snell, the son of Shoreline’s men’s baseball coach, Dave Snell, has been nominated by USA Today as one of five outstanding Minor League Players of the Year. He attended Shorewood High School and now pitches for the Tampa Bay Rays minors.

Five players have been nominated for the honor of Top Outstanding player, and USA Today is asking their readership to weigh in on the decision by voting for their top choice. Head here to read about the players and to VOTE FOR BLAKE!

Here’s USA Today’s write up on Blake:
Snell’s ERA through 22 appearances (20 starts) stretched over three levels was 1.51. While much of that was built on the strength of a 46-inning scoreless streak to start the season (49 overall dating back to last year) he has been dominant throughout. Consider that he allowed one earned run or less in 15 of his 22 appearances and that on 10 of those occasions he didn’t allow any runs. Overall, the former first-round pick (2011) was 13-4 through Aug. 23 with a 0.99 WHIP through 118 innings. He is not on the 40-man roster, either, and the Rays haven’t let him go deeper than 5 1/3 innings through six starts at Durham (N.C.) of the AAA International Leagueso it’s not likely that he will get a call in September.
They are running a vote – and have a nice write-up on each player. See the story Who is the Minor League Player of the Year? and vote at the same location.

Congrats Snell family!
