Shoreline welcomes Randy Gottfried as the new Instructional Media Director as of January 4, 2016. Randy comes to Shoreline from the University of Montana, where he spent the last nine years managing the Presentation & Technology department. During Randy’s tenure at Montana, his department provided campus with 150 new classroom technology systems, iMac computer labs, lecture capture software, live-streaming of events, and video production services. Randy has a strong drive to use his multimedia and technology talents to further educational programs. While at the University of Arkansas, he developed a distance education service for the Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food, and Life Sciences. Randy also was the College’s Teaching Resource Center technical director, providing technology support and equipment to the College’s faculty. Randy began his career at Ohio University, his alma mater, supervising the media and distance education operations of the Ohio University Telecommunications Center.

When off-the-grid, Randy enjoys hiking, kayaking, and camping in national parks. Many Montana weekends were spent visiting Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada. Randy also enjoys musical theatre, and is looking forward to attending plays in the greater Seattle area.

Randy is very excited to join the Shoreline community. Welcome Randy!
