Foundation raises record $66,000 at Student Success Breakfast
November 15, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Shoreline Community College Foundation hosted its 19th Annual Student Success Campaign Community Breakfast in the College Dining Room on Nov. 3, 2016 and raised a record $66,000. This is the Foundation’s primary fundraiser of the year to raise support for student financial assistance and scholarships. The funds raised this year were $25,000 more than funds raised in any of the past 18 years.
Shoreline Community College Foundation is dedicated to increasing student access and success at Shoreline Community College and to advocating for students and the college. Mary Brueggeman, VP of Advancement at the College and Executive Director of the Foundation, stated she is “absolutely thrilled with the community support of the students who need assistance to realize their dream of a college education”.
Greg Olson, President of the Foundation Board of Directors, stated “I have seen firsthand the incredible difference our donors make in student’s lives with the scholarships and financial assistance we provide to students in need. Most often, the assistance is the difference between having to drop out of school and being able to continue to completion of their degree”.
Brueggeman and Olson attribute the event’s success to the tremendous community support through donations such as sponsorships and individual gifts. The non-profit offers three sponsorship levels with various degrees of recognition and promotion and table sponsorships. “Attendance was good, but we can fit a few more tables in the room,” stated Brueggeman.
The event is a community favorite and is described by others as one of the best attended, long-term events in the Shoreline and Lake Forest Park communities. “We try to make it fun yet meaningful so the community knows what a difference they make to the students,” Brueggeman said. She stated the Foundation also receives invaluable support from the faculty, staff, administration, and Board of Trustees of the College.
The Foundation is already looking forward to next year’s event and asks that everyone mark their calendars for Thurs., Nov. 2, 2017. Donations can still be sent for this year’s campaign to:
Shoreline Community College Foundation
16101 Greenwood Avenue North,
Shoreline, WA 98133
Donations can also still be made online at www.shoreline.edu/foundation.
Share your feedback with Metro about transit gaps after cuts to Route 331
November 15, 2016 by Leave a Comment
In September 2014, Metro transit reduced evening and night service on Route 331, which connects Kenmore, Lake Forest Park, Shoreline, and the Shoreline Community College campus. Now the Metro Alternative Services Demonstration Program is working with the communities of Lake Forest Park and Shoreline and with Shoreline Community College to identify transit gaps that might have been created by this reduction.
Do you live, work, or go to school in Shoreline or Lake Forest Park? Tell Metro about how you use or would like to use public transportation to get around.

Living our Shared Commitment to an Inclusive College Community

Dear Colleague,
The recent U.S. presidential election process has been highly contentious and has evoked many strong emotions from people of all beliefs. Like the rest of the country, Shoreline students and employees are experiencing a range of feelings about the results of the election.
Just as this nation must continue to embrace its commitment to its democratic ideals of liberty, equality, and justice, so must all of us at Shoreline Community College uphold our commitment to being an inclusive campus community.
This is an opportunity to live up to our Community Standard:
“Shoreline Community College is a place for students, employees, and the community to pursue excellence in education in an environment dedicated to equity, inclusiveness, and self-reflection. We value respectful, dynamic interactions and lively discussion. We strive to create an environment where everyone is supported and valued. Shoreline Community College does not tolerate hateful, violent, or discriminatory actions that target any person or group based on their beliefs, customs, identity, or affiliations. When one of us is diminished, all of us are diminished.”
A core principle of our college is that everyone who comes to this campus feels respected and supported. We are a community of learners who engage and invite robust, respectful conversation. This means we come together to listen to each other and move forward with respect for those presenting opinions that may differ from our own.
I feel honored to work at a college that embraces learning and respect, and I look forward to working with all of you to ensure Shoreline will always remain a welcoming place for all of us.
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D
President
