Campus Updates 7/25/24

July 25, 2024 by Leave a Comment

Hey folks, hope all are well! Unfortunately, I spent the first part of this week sick. I’m feeling better, but still have that post-illness low-key feeling (which I am not a fan of). I’m hanging in and hoping none of you have had it. 

I had a good meeting this week with new colleagues from the University of Washington Office of Undergraduate Research. We’re hoping to find ways to support our wonderful Honors program and to support faculty who have an interest in promoting research in their disciplines. It was a great meeting, and I can see some tangible projects blossoming – keep an eye out! 

We also had a GREAT meeting yesterday with amazing leaders from King County, City of Shoreline, Shoreline Community College Foundation, SCC Board members Rebecca Ringer & Jamie Stark, and Blanton Turner to discuss our shared Housing Insecurity Pilot. 

Members from Shoreline Community College and King County at a meeting this week to discuss new Housing Pilot Program

Using funds from the County, we are fully funding housing for 3 (soon to be 4) housing-insecure students in our on-campus resident hall. This gives students access to wrap-around services provided by the County AND the College. We will be watching the progress and hope to increase opportunities with more students soon. Keep an eye out for the press release – I’m just excited! It’s a small step in this housing crisis, but it matters. 

Oh, and fun fact – you may remember we recently became an Amazon Career Choice college. We now have two students from Amazon at Shoreline for summer courses! 

Have a great week. 

Cheers, 

Jack 

Accreditation 

  • Our institutional accreditation cycle with the NWCCU is 7 years long (see details).  
  • We are in Year 4 of the cycle and will: 
  • Write an Ad Hoc report on our new Bachelors of Applied Science degree in Dental Hygiene. 

Enrollments 

The daily summer enrollment report is open to all employees.  

Foundation 

Donors to the SCC Foundation helped make $150,000 available to support students who would be the most negatively impacted by the delayed and complicated FAFSA rollout this year. Just over $60,000 was expended this summer to help students pay for rent, childcare, food, and transportation.  

Donor funding was also able to provide an additional $10,000 in emergency assistance through the Benefits Hub to help fill the gap in summer United Way funding. Our Benefits Hub is an important safety net for students. Making sure that adequate funding is available year-round is a priority for the Foundation’s 24/25 fundraising plan. 

SCHOLARSHIP EVALUATORS WANTED! We’ll be starting the Fall 24 scholarship review and award process soon! If you want to help, please email Kara KHaney@shoreline.edu.  

Business & Administrative Services 

An updated Credit Card Purchase Authorization Form is available on the College’s Intranet (see screen snip below) as an entirely digital file with built-in signature capture via Adobe Sign. Please discontinue using the 2008 paper version as it has been retired.

Bldg. 5000 Elevator – Service Outage

July 25, 2024 by Leave a Comment

Dear Campus Community,

Last Thursday, 7/24, the 5000 Building (FOSS) elevator was taken out of service due to an unknown issue. An elevator technician responded that day but found the solution required a new part. When the technician returned this week, it was discovered that the wrong part was ordered. The elevator in Bldg. 5000 will be out of service until the correct part is received and installed; we are still waiting for a timeline from the contractor. I apologize that notification was not sent out sooner, it was originally expected to be a same day fix.

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

Respectfully,

Gregory Cranson

Director │ Department of Safety & Security

Announcing New Acting Deans of Transitional Studies and STEM CTE

July 23, 2024 by Leave a Comment

Please join me in welcoming Jessica Strickland and Dr. Orlando de Lange as our new Acting Deans for Transitional Studies and STEM CTE for the upcoming academic year.  

Jessica earned her BA in Writing from Washington State University in 2007. She began teaching as a US Peace Corps Volunteer in the Philippines, and first taught at a college in Ukraine from 2009-2011. Later, she taught in China for a year. After nearly five years overseas, Jessica returned to Washington State, teaching at Lower Columbia College (LCC) while earning her Master’s degree in TESOL from USC Rossier. She then taught international students at the University of Texas for a couple of years before returning to Washington State to teach at LCC and Centralia College. In 2022, Jessica was tenured at Big Bend Community College and started teaching at Shoreline in June of the same year. With over 16 years of teaching and leadership experience in Transitional Studies, Jessica is thrilled to take on the responsibility of Acting Dean of a department she is so passionate about and extremely proud of. 

Orlando grew up in London, UK. He got his first taste of science from working in a hall of dark, Victorian cabinetry, managing the seaweed collections of London’s Natural History Museum. That ignited not just a love of science but a love of planning and organization. He completed a BA in Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge and a PhD in plant molecular biology at the University of Munich in Germany. He moved to Seattle in 2016 to pursue synthetic biology research at the University of Washington and then in 2022 started as tenure-track faculty in Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing here at Shoreline Community College. He spends a lot of his free time doing science education and outreach, and otherwise enjoys playing indie video games, reading too many sci fi books, and going for hikes with his husband and dog. 

Jessica will begin her new role this month in a limited capacity (66% contract) while she completes her summer teaching assignment.  She will assume the 1.0 Dean role on September 1st. 

Orlando will begin his new role on August 1st in a limited capacity (66% contract) while he completes the summer teaching assignment. On September 16, 2024, Orlando will assume the 1.0 Dean role. 

Both Jessica and Orlando will begin attending regular weekly meetings with the Deans this summer and will then work directly with me on the rest of their 2/3 schedules. 

Congratulations, and we look forward to working with them in their new roles. 

Best, 

Ben Weng
