Shoreline Community College started coming to life in 1963 when 806 student applications were accepted. In January of 1964, classes began, held in the evenings at Shoreline High School, now Shoreline Center. But it wasn’t until 1965 that Shoreline had its own campus. 2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Shoreline Community College campus and the beginning of instruction in college facilities. So what does that mean? Par-tay!

Join us Fri., Sept. 25 to party like it’s 1965. The festivities will kick off in the PUB Main Dining room at 6 p.m. with a series of speakers. Live music will begin at 7 and go until 10. Come enjoy fun, food and popular 60s fads on this evening of celebrating our campus and its thriving community on its 50 birthday. Free and open to the public.

Library, 4000 building from 1-4 p.m.
The 4000 Building looks the same from the outside, but all kinds of changes are underway behind the brick walls. During the summer break, we welcomed the Math Learning Center and The Writing & Learning Studio into an on-site mix of academic service centers that includes TSS and Tutoring. The expansion of services in the Library means our space has been thoughtfully reconfigured to meet student needs in the coming quarter. Services from copy machines and photo ID to circulation and media have been relocated. Please stop by the Library to find out who’s here, where we are, what we’re doing, and whether you can spot the two new interior doors!
