Wed., May 27 we are expecting 350-400 high school and middle school students from 23 regional schools to attend the Northwest Association for Biomedical Research’s (NWBAR) Student Bio Expo on our campus. Busses will start arriving with students outside the #1000 building at 7:45 a.m., and the students will be on campus until around 2 p.m. So welcome these potential future SCC students to our campus if you see them!

This is the 15th annual NWBAR Expo. The mission of the Student Bio Expo is to promote an understanding of bioscience research among high school students. We provide access to scientific resources and engage students in creative ways to demonstrate their knowledge of the disciplines of biotechnology and biomedicine. By connecting students, teachers, scientists, and the general public, we strengthen our life sciences community.

Retirement & Anniversary Awards event June 5

May 22, 2015 by 1 Comment

June is a time to celebrate the accomplishments of students, but it is also time to honor those who give of themselves day in and day out to help them achieve those successes.

The 2015 Retirement & Anniversary Awards celebration is scheduled for 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m., Friday, June 5, in the PUB Main Dining Room. The annual event is an opportunity to acknowledge and honor co-workers for their commitment to students and the mission and vision of Shoreline Community College.

To recognize the contributions of all employees in a more inclusive way, some adjustments are being made to the categories of employees who are eligible for awards and the methods of calculating length of service.

“We really just wanted to acknowledge that every employee makes a contribution to this college and can have a positive impact on students,” President Cheryl Roberts said. To that end, part-time faculty and staff members as well as hourly employees will be recognized for their service. Also, length of service will now be calculated based on the number of years since employees first began working at the college, regardless of whether the person is working full- or part-time.

According to Director of Personnel Veronica Zura, the impact of the adjustments – beyond including and acknowledging the contribution of more people – will be minimal. The anniversary awards are provided in five-year increments and this year, will include a 45 year anniversary award for the first time ever.

This year, there will be an amazing 95 Anniversary Awards passed out at the luncheon, with recipients in all employee groups. The number of awards will include:

  • 5 Years – 30
  • 10 Years – 22
  • 15 Years – 23
  • 20 Years – 9
  • 25 Years – 5
  • 30 Years – 3
  • 35 Years – 2
  • 40 Years – 0
  • 45 Years – 1

There are also 11 people who have or will retire this year.

Saxophonist Gunnery Sergeant David Jenkins (center) of “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band will perform with the Shoreline Concert Band Tues., May 19.

The Shoreline Concert Band’s Spring Concert, “Proud to be American,” is this Tues., May 19 at 7:30 p.m. at Shorewood High School’s Performing Arts Center. The performance is free, but donations for the Music Scholarship Fund are accepted at the door.

The concert will feature guest soloist Saxophonist Gunnery Sergeant David Jenkins, member since 2004 of “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band. Gunnery Sgt. Jenkins performs with the Marine Band at the White House, in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area, and across the country during the band’s annual concert tour. His appearance at the Shoreline Concert Band’s concert is made possible by a grant from the Shoreline-LFP Arts Council.

The performance will also feature special guest groups including the University of Washington Campus Band, directed by graduate student Alison Farley, and the Kellogg Middle School Wind Ensemble directed by Alex Wilmart.

This concert will feature selections dear to the hearts of Americans – everything from a rousing playing of “Stars and Stripes Forever” to the “American Elegy,” reflective of the Columbine massacre. This is the final performance for the group of the academic year.
