The College’s Strategic Plan 2016-2021 and our refreshed Vision and Mission statement can be found here.

At our Campus Community Update on Friday, May 20, the majority of our time will be spent in discussion with you about the implementation of the plan. Please come to hear about, and get involved in, the next chapter of our 2016-2021 Strategic Plan rollout. We have new committees formed to gather data, research best practices and recommend annual plans to  achieve our ambitious five (5) year goals. We’ll be asking you to participate in a poster session to understand the charters of the new committees and how you can participate in writing the narrative for Shoreline Community College’s preferred future in 2021.

We have results to celebrate also, so come hear about the tremendous progress we’ve made toward accomplishing our Areas of Focus for 2015-16.

I look forward to seeing you on Friday!

Movie and discussion with writer and Longhouse media’s Tracy Rector!

Long ago a maiden named Ko-kwahl-alwoot risked her life to save the Samish people from starvation. She did so by agreeing to marry a man of the sea, who threatened to take the plentiful sea life away from the area if she did not. Her reluctant father demanded that Ko-kwahl-alwoot return annually. But, after about four years of visits, it became increasingly difficult for her to return to the village. And so, today, Ko-kwahl-alwoot lives eternally underwater. The documentary tells her story and how tribal history inspires generations of Samish people.

Reminder: Spring Quarter Campus Community Update is this Fri., May 20

May 16, 2016 by Leave a Comment

After months of work by hundreds of members of the campus and the community-at-large, our Strategic Plan is ready to roll out. Please join me and members of the Executive Team for a Campus Community Update on Friday, May 20, 2016 from 2:00 – 3:30 PM in the PUB’s Main Dining Room.

The work ahead involves gathering baseline data, researching best practices, and creating the annual plans to reach the five (5) year goals we have identified in our 2016 – 2021 Strategic Plan.  This will require new and some existing committees to recommend work through a shared planning and participatory structure.

At the May 20 Campus Community Update, we will:
• Outline the principles of the work ahead, describe the new Steering Committees, and give you an advance look at the structures and work to begin in the fall.

Your ongoing work is producing great results and the Executive Team and I will highlight some of those successes.

Folding together the current work we have been successfully doing, with the new and continuing work demanded by the Strategic Plan, will ensure our students’ achievement as we work together.

I look forward to seeing you on Friday, May 20 for this interactive conversation as we roll out the next chapter of our Strategic Plan.
