Introducing Cameron Dollar- Acting Director of Athletics

April 5, 2024 by Leave a Comment

Dear Colleagues,

I am excited to share that Cameron Dollar has been appointed Acting Director of Athletics, Intramurals and Physical Education. Cameron will be in the role from April 1st through June 30, 2024, while the College conducts the search to hire for this position. 

Cameron comes to us most recently from Franklin High School in Seattle, where he was Athletic Director and Co-Commissioner of Basketball, overseeing 16 sports. His prior experience includes head coach for Seattle University’s Men’s Basketball team, Assistant Coach for the University of Washington’s Men’s Basketball team, and success at the highest level as a collegiate basketball player.  

Cameron earned his Bachelor of Arts from the University of California at Los Angeles and is due to complete his Master of Science in Sports Administration from Arkansas State University, Jonesboro in July 2025. “I have long admired the mission and role of community colleges in education. I am excited to be a part of the student-centered, life-changing work that occurs here at Shoreline,” says Dollar about taking on this new role. Please join me in giving him a warm welcome to Shoreline. 

We will be conducting a search for a permanent hire for this role over the course of the spring quarter. To assist with these transitions, Sydney Hinnebusch continues to do an incredible job taking on extra duties and has been appointed Acting Assistant Director of Athletics, Intramurals and Physical Education, through June 30, 2024.   

Both Sydney and Cameron can be found in the 3000 building. Sydney’s email is shinnebusch@shoreline.edu. Cameron can be reached at cdollar@shoreline.edu 

Go Phins!

Campus Updates 4/4/24

April 4, 2024 by Leave a Comment

Well, I’m back! Last week I was out in Costa Rica catching up from vacation time from last year. It was great! I’m an animal lover, so seeing some up close was amazing! See below for one of our fun pics. Is that a smile? 

This is an image of a caiman in the dirt surrounded by leaves.

I also had the opportunity to practice Spanish which was really great. People were very patient with us, and I think appreciated our attempt and learning. It really is Pura Vida!   

This week is the first week of classes. I am very excited about being at the “Ask Me” booth today (though slightly less with the gloomy dark clouds in the forecast). The first week of the quarter is always so exciting. The Associated Student Government (ASG) and Student Life were out in full force yesterday with welcome goodies, fun, and connection. Hope your week is off to a good start. 

I am playing a lot of catch up since I was out last week. There is a lot going on (and a mound of email as you can imagine). We also have second round Vice President-Student Services (VPSS) interviews and forums coming up, as well as Vice President-Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Accessibility (VPDEIA) first level interviews happening soon, so things are moving along well.  

I do have some GOOD NEWS to report. Thanks to the great work of Joe Mazur and Gayla Hocker, we have finalized the contract with Black Coffee Northwest to bring them to campus. You may know that they have been very busy opening a space through Seattle colleges and making progress with a new locale in Seattle’s Central District. We are now working to make needed modifications to the cafeteria space—keep your eyes open for a welcome to SCC event in the next few months. 

Next week I will have more to report, but for now it’s emails, catch up, accreditation, and strategic planning work. Hope to see you on campus!! 

Cheers, 

Jack

Foundation 

Every Spring, the Shoreline Community College Foundation awards approximately 100 scholarships for the following academic year. Unlike the quarterly scholarship awards, academic year scholarships tend to have larger awards and twice the number of students applying. I am reaching out today to invite you to volunteer as a reviewer for our upcoming 24/25 academic year scholarships. 

Because of your expertise and insight as a member of the SCC community, your participation will elevate and improve this process. Your help is a win for our donors, who so generously fund these opportunities, and for our students, who deserve thoughtful, insightful, and unbiased evaluation of their applications. When you volunteer as a reviewer, you play a crucial role in evaluating the applications of our students and recommending those who demonstrate exceptional determination and potential. Your recommendations will help guide the selection process, ultimately leading to life-changing opportunities for deserving candidates. Moreover, reviewing scholarship applications offers a unique opportunity to witness firsthand the aspirations and ambitions of our students. It allows you to engage with their stories, achievements, and future goals in a new and meaningful way.  

The time commitment for this volunteer opportunity is flexible – we estimate about 5 hours total between April 1 and April 22. The number of actual scholarships you will evaluate will depend on the number of applications and the number of evaluators we recruit. We will provide detailed instructions and guidelines to assist you throughout the review process. Best of all, you can log into the reviewer portal from anywhere.  

If you are interested in volunteering as a reviewer or have any questions about the process, please reach out to Michelle Cimaroli at mcimaroli@shoreline.edu.  

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support our students.

Mental Health First Aid 4/12/24

April 4, 2024 by Leave a Comment

Free Mental Health First Aid Training Offered at Shoreline Community College!

Shoreline Community College Counseling Center is offering free Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training for our campus community. MHFA is a research-supported international education program developed to teach adults how to recognize and respond to signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges. MHFA is a skills-based course that gives people the tools to assist someone who might be struggling with mental health or substance use challenges and connect them with appropriate support and resources. To date, 2.5 million people across the United States have been trained in MHFA.

Just as CPR helps those without clinical training assist an individual having a heart attack, MHFA prepares participants to interact with a person experiencing a mental health crisis. Mental Health First Aiders learn a 5-step Action Plan that guides them through reaching out and offering appropriate support.

With support from the Counseling Center, this training (valued at $170.00/participant) is FREE to Shoreline Community College employees and students.

Training Details:

We are currently offering a blended training which includes:

  • 2-hour, self-paced online training prior to the in-person training and
  • 6.5 hour in-person training

This quarter’s in-person training is scheduled for:

Friday, April 12th, 9:00am-3:30pm

The self-paced online training must be completed prior to attending the in-person training.  You must complete the online and in-person training to become a certified Mental Health First Aider. MHFA certification lasts for 3 years.

If you cannot make this date – we will be offering another training later in the quarter.

Please email Gwyn Hoffman-Robinson at gehoffman@shoreline.edu to register and/or find out more information. Please note registration is limited and a waiting list will be started when capacity is reached. Once registered, details as far as room location, etc. will be shared.

Location: TBD
