Let’s Talk About It!: Understanding Suicide Workshop Tues., Nov. 3

Understanding Suicide
Tuesday, November 3, 2015
12:30pm in the PUB, room 9208 (Quiet Dining Room)

We have invited a panel to campus to talk about one of the most difficult subjects in our culture: suicide. Join us to learn more about the signs and symptoms of suicidality from a personal perspective. Counselors from SCC Counseling Services will be available during and after the panel. All are welcome.

Join Counseling Services and Brooke Zimmers from Communication Studies to welcome guest speakers Laura Nelson and Laura Philip to our campus. Laura and Laura will increase understanding of suicide by presenting their personal stories and experiences, and sharing what recovery has looked like for them. They will discuss warning signs, ways to get someone help, and what has been helpful for them. We are pleased to welcome these speakers, who have both volunteered with the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention and Forefront: Innovations in Suicide Prevention.

SCC Counselors Gwyn Hoffman-Robinson and Sheryl Copeland will be available to provide information and resources after the presentation.

The first Wednesday of each month is Spirit Day, a chance to show our Phin Pride across campus. This upcoming Spirit Day (Nov. 4) is also our top-ranked Women’s Volleyball team’s HOME game against Skagit Valley Community College. So we’re celebrating in style!

This Spirit Day (Nov. 4), please join us in celebrating Shoreline by wearing Phin Gear on campus. Don’t have any? Shoreline employees get a 20% discount on Phin gear and apparel at the bookstore on Spirit Days! So go grab some gear and show off your school pride.

To get the party started, the SLC will have a table in front of the gym (3000 bldg) from 12:30-1:30 p.m. and will be handing out treats, playing music, dancing and having a great time – swing by and join them and help spread the PhinNation Spirit!

Then, head to the gym at 7 p.m. and PACK THE STANDS to cheer on our Phins volleyball team, who are currently ranked #1 in the North Region! #GoPhins!

Athletic Director Steve Eskridge will host a short program honoring this year’s sophomores as well as recognizing past alumni in attendance. After the ceremony, let the games begin!

Ready for even more fun?! Between the second and third match, all faculty and staff present at the game are invited to join in a re-boot performance of the Flash Mob that was put on in the courtyard during Welcome Week. Many of you said it was a TON of fun the first time around – so let’s put on a show and do it again!

We hope to see you there, being Phins Up and All In!

Join the GAC for “Cuba and the United States Today,” Thurs., Oct. 29

national identities
Join the Global Affairs Center for a symposium on the state of the relationship between Cuba and the U.S. today led by Marc McLeod, Director, Latin American Studies and Associate Professor of History at Seattle University. This FREE event is happening Thurs., Oct. 29 at 7 p.m. in the PUB Quiet Dining Room.

On December 17, 2014, an agreement between the United States and Cuba, popularly called “The Cuban Thaw”, brokered in part by Canada and Pope Francis, began the process of restoring international relations between Cuba and the United States.  On April 14, 2015, the Obama Administration announced that it would remove Cuba from the American government’s list of nations which sponsor terrorism. Shortly thereafter, Cuba and the U.S. reached a deal to reopen embassies in their respective capitals on July 20, 2015, and reestablish diplomatic relations. “Normal relations,” including fully lifting the U.S. commercial and financial embargo on Cuba, as well as allowing unrestricted travel to Cuba, are still being discussed. The United States naval base at Guantánamo Bay stands out as a particularly intractable issue in the renewed relationship.

Join us for a discussion of issues at the heart of this historic rapprochement between the two states with Marc McLeod, Director, Latin American Studies and Associate Professor of History, Seattle University. Click here for more information about Marc McLeod.
