Safety Alert- Robbery Reported on Campus 10/11/24

October 11, 2024 by Leave a Comment

Dear Campus Community, 

Earlier this evening, a robbery occurred on campus in front of Bldg. 7000 Campus Living. The victim had a bag torn from their hands by a suspect who then entered a black sedan and fled campus. No weapons were observed, and no injuries were reported. Shoreline Police responded and spoke with the victim.  

Campus Security will have a Campus Security Officer posted in front of Bldg. 7000 for the remainder of the evening while other Campus Security personnel conduct patrols of campus. Here are a few tips to help enhance your safety and reduce potential risks. 

  • Travel with others after dark. Walking in groups can deter criminals through strength in numbers.
    • If you are on campus and do not have anyone to walk with, you can call the Campus Security Officer on duty at 206-235-5860 to request an escort to/from vehicles/building. 
  • Be aware of your surroundings. If you see a person or vehicle acting in a suspicious manner, keep your distance if possible and alert those you are with. If walking alone or at night, do not be focused on your phone or have headphones in/on both ears as this will limit your ability to see or hear someone approaching.
    • If you are on campus, contact the Campus Security Officer on duty at 206-235-5860. Provide your location, a description of the person or vehicle, and what they were doing that seemed suspicious. 

Although you cannot remove all possible risks, taking the right precautions can help reduce the likelihood of being the victim of a crime. Please remember, possessions can be replaced, and your safety is our priority. There are uniformed Campus Security personnel on duty and on campus 24 hours a day, so please don’t hesitate to call for help or report suspicious activity. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at gcranson@shoreline.edu 

Respectfully, 

Greg Cranson 

Director of Safety & Security

REMINDER: All-Campus Fire Drill Today

October 11, 2024 by Leave a Comment

Dear Campus Community,

As a reminder, our All-Campus Fire Drill is today October 11th. During the drill, all students, staff, faculty, and visitor are required to evacuate from all campus buildings and assemble in the designated evacuation areas (shown on map below). The alarms will activate to begin the drill. Campus Security personnel and Building Marshals will assist at evacuation points and provide directional information. Participation is mandatory if you are on campus. 

We will also be taking this opportunity to test the college emergency notification system, RAVE. We will be sending a notification out via text message, automated voice message, and email. If you are staff or student and do not receive the notification, you can use your college email address and login password to update your settings at https://www.getrave.com/login/shoreline

  • The evacuation locations are designated by a white sign with red lettering entitled “Emergency Evacuation Point” along the perimeter of campus (reference attached photo).
White sign with Emergency Evacuation Point in red
  • Individuals evacuating buildings should proceed to the evacuation site closest to their location (map attached, evacuation sites marked by “X”)
  • Everyone must immediately evacuate, in a calm and controlled manner.
  • Do not attempt to re-enter buildings until authorized to do so by Campus Security personnel or a Building Marshal.

We do our best to limit disruptions to campus operations and classes, but there is no one-size-fits all for perfect timing for emergency drills. If you have any questions (besides the exact time of the drill), please feel free to email Acting Director of Safety & Security Gregory Cranson gcranson@shoreline.edu

Respectfully,

Your Department of Safety & Security

Campus Updates 10/10/24

Events and News 

Hey folks, I hope all is well. I’m writing from Beijing, China ready to take on the day.  Samira, Bo and I just arrived late yesterday afternoon.  We actually saw a former student on the plane on the way to Shanghai!  We are 15 hours ahead of you, and yes, I can now read the future.  It looks good by the way! 

At the end of last week, I was at the WACTC presidents meeting. It was very productive and informative.  We discussed our capital projects process for requesting funds, the OFM concern, and the new CTC workgroup formed to improve processes throughout the system, amongst several other items.  Dr, Cauce from UW was present as was a previous leader from IE – Paul Rucker!  It was great meeting with him and chatting about the “old days”. 

Our first set of meetings in Shanghai were really productive.  We met with colleagues from Education First (EF) and North America International School (NAIS) to thank them for their support of Shoreline Community College International Programs, and to brainstorm potential future collaborations!  In addition to the important connections we are making with our overseas colleagues, I also enjoyed also learning more about Shanghai and sampling some local cuisine.  One thing I really enjoyed was trying black tofu!  I didn’t realize black soybeans existed, and it was so good.  I am also using this anecdote as a test to see if people are still reading these intros lol- have any of you had black tofu? Have you heard of it before? Let me know! 

Hope you all have a great week! 

Cheers, 

Jack

Guided Pathways:

Thank you all for the warm responses to the introduction to our five Guided Pathways priorities this year. Both Instructional and Advising faculty are already hard at work to build the systems we need to support our amazing Shoreline students!

Speaking of our amazing Shoreline students, Guided Pathways, along with our Title III-Strengthening Institutions grant, sponsors Shoreline’s Peer Support Program. We are looking forward to welcoming our new Peer Support Specialist, who will be overseeing our Student Ambassadors and our First Year Peer Mentors. In addition to the key peer support roles, we’re piloting three additional peer support initiatives this year: 

  • We are supporting a pilot program that embeds a peer tutor in CHEM 121. This is an exciting step in creating just-in-time academic interventions in our gateway courses!
  • We are sponsoring the work of several peer mentors who will be embedded in our athletic teams. This is an important step in bringing support to students where they are – in this case, on our hard-working athletic teams!
  • And we have been training our 2024-25 Student Ambassadors to be part of our FOSS Welcome Desk team. This is a new duty for our Student Ambassadors, and so far, they are rocking it! A big shout-out to Kyrsha Goodwin for leading this initiative!

We’re very excited to support students helping students (and to contribute to Goal B4 of Shoreline’s Equity-Centered Strategic plan 😊).

Cheers,

Belle and the Guided Pathways Core Team

TSS Updates:

TSS would like to remind everyone of the very useful password management tool “LastPass” that is available for all Shoreline faculty and staff.  Email invites were sent out to all users with the LastPass codes in August and we are pleased to see a large number of recipients have signed on to use LastPass so far.  For anyone who is still interested but has not yet had the opportunity to set up their account, LastPass will be sending reminder invite emails to those who haven’t signed up yet starting on Monday, October 14th. For those who have signed up to use LastPass but may not have had a chance to fully utilize it, a LastPass article with tools and resources on the software can be found here.  

As we have encountered devastating storms here in the US and approach election time, it’s crucial to stay vigilant against potential scams. Cybercriminals often exploit these events by sending fraudulent emails and social media messages with malicious links or attachments. Here are some tips to protect yourself:

  • Be cautious with emails that have hurricane or election-related subject lines, attachments, or hyperlinks.
  • Verify the authenticity of social media pleas, texts, or door-to-door solicitations related to severe weather events or election information.
  • Ensure any hurricane-related guidance comes from trusted sources like local officials, FEMA, or Ready.gov.
  • For election-related information, rely on official sources such as government websites and verified news outlets.

Stay safe and informed!
