Alert to faculty: Sunfest may cause noise distractions next week

May 24, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Hello everyone,

The Arts & Entertainment Board will be hosting its annual SunFest event from Tues., May 30 – Thurs., June 1. You may have seen flyers and advertisement for SunFest over the past couple of weeks and been wondering what this event entails and how it fits into campus life. SunFest was created in 1977 to set an environment of collaboration and appreciation on campus before the end of the year. This year we have a distinct theme for each of the days that reflect these same values. We have local musicians and artists as well as Shoreline students performing and showcasing their work.

There will be an increase of noise on campus during the festivities. We know that classes will still be in progress during SunFest, so we feel it’s only appropriate to let you know beforehand. Tues., May 30 will be an artisans day and take place in the courtyard in front of the PUB (9000 building). Wed., May 31 and Thurs., June 1 will both be set up in the Rock River area (behind the 1500-1700 building), with Wednesday being focused on games and Thursday on musicians. So noise may be an issue for classes within the vicinity of those two areas. We would love your support on this major campus event so please let us know if you have any questions or concerns by contacting the Assistant Director of Student Life Angel Gonzalez: agonzalez@shoreline.edu.

GAC’s Great Discussion Series: Prospects for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Thurs., May 25

May 24, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Thurs., May 25, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Room 1010(m) Boardroom

*This is part of the Great Discussion series, which requires registration. See details below.

Major internal conflict has plagued Afghanistan for four decades. The U.S., for its part, has conducted military operations in the country nearly continuously since 9/11. Today, war with the Taliban persists, and tensions between the U.S. and Pakistan have gradually deteriorated. As his time in office drew to a close, President Obama limited further withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. The incoming administration has a choice: will it maintain the status quo, completely reverse the Obama administration drawdown or withdraw completely? Does the U.S. face a no win situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan?

Format:
6:30 – Video background report (compliments printed briefing paper provided in advance)*
7:00 – Remarks by guest
7:30 – group discussion

*Videos and Briefing papers provided by the Foreign Policy Association.

Enrollment is limited.  $35 to register for the series (8 meetings)**
**Registration includes briefing book on the eight issues.
