Shoreline will be hosting an AVID Fair (Advancement via Individual Determination) Thurs., Oct. 20 from 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. The fair will be held in the PUB Main Dining Room with 30 colleges representing their school for 20 high schools who will be attending. We anticipate hosting potential students to our campus from as far away as Walla Walla and Olympia. Shoreline Community College current students are encouraged to talk to four-year college representatives as well.

The Quiet Dining Room will be used as a hospitality suite for college representatives, high school counselors, and teachers. Every effort will be made to provide ample seating and eating areas for our current students. This is a three-hour block of time that will provide many to see our beautiful campus and plan on attending Shoreline Community College.

Please say hi to these future students and let Amy Stapleton know if you have any questions or concerns at astaplet@shoreline.edu or extension 7841.

We’re continuing our Community Read this year with Octavia’s Brood! We’ll be meeting in the PUB three times a quarter to discuss/analyze/work with/enjoy the short stories in this socially conscious anthology of science fiction stories inspired by Octavia Butler.

We’re kicking off the Community Read this Thurs., Oct. 20 at 12:30 p.m. in the PUB’s fishbowl.

Having read the stories isn’t necessary to attend, but free books are available for all students who sign up for Community Reads.
