REMINDER: 2 hr Limit to Electric Car Charging Stations

February 10, 2023 by Leave a Comment

Dear Campus Community,

As a reminder, the College currently provides a total of four (4) electric vehicle charging stations located in the Visitor’s Lot (2 spots) and in the West Parking Lot (2 spots) for use by all of campus.  These charging stations are clearly striped and signed. 

  1. These spaces are designated as charging stations for electric vehicles only.  Non-electric vehicles will not be allowed to park there and violators will be cited.
  2. The stations are currently open to Shoreline faculty, staff, and students at no cost for a maximum of 2 hrs per day.  
  3. The stations are not parking spaces and the responsibility for knowing when an electric vehicle should be moved remains with the vehicle driver.
  4. Parking enforcement, and appropriate use of the stations, are monitored by Safety and Security.  Citations will be issued if the stations are improperly used.    
  5. The stations are operational Monday – Friday, from 7:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.  Restricting services to these days and times ensures that the College is not gifting state resources to the general public.
  6. To activate an account for electric vehicle charging, please contact safetyandsecurity@shoreline.edu.

While the College continues to assess the campus needs for charging stations for updates where needed, your help by complying with the rules above is much appreciated.

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Office of Safety & Security

EVENTS AND NEWS  

Good afternoon folks!  Hope all is going well.  I’m writing this update from Washington D.C. at the end of the National Legislative Summit.  It was great to be surrounded by passionate trustees, presidents, and students from across the country advocating for community colleges.  Shoreline Trustees and I were able to attend and represent in two meetings with Senator Murray and Maria Cantwell.   

Priorities for the team included: 

  • Improvements in WIOA reporting and enhancements overall.  
  • Growing the Strengthening Community College Training Grants program © Boosting funding for PELL, TRIO, GEARUP, and programs that support childcare.  There was a BIG PUSH for short-term Pell, which if passed, would allow PELL grants for shorter-term certificates and programs (which would be great for growing new opportunities at Shoreline).   
  • Priorities also included supporting the Dream ACT, funding HSIS, MSIS, and HBCUS and many other initiatives focused on basic needs, serving rural communities, and ending tax policies that hurt recipients of many aid programs.   

The energy was high! It was really interesting that we were at the Capitol on the day of the State of the Union.   

Toward the end of last week, I had another Professional Development opportunity.  I now meet quarterly with Eric, President of Cascadia College.  It has been helpful to learn more about shared concerns and strategies to resolve them.   

I also wanted to remind folks of the Buffalo Soldiers: Fighting on two Fronts event next week!  It’s going to be amazing—we just found out three actors/soldiers from the film will join the event.  Please come and enjoy a great evening with your students and friends!  Hope you all have an enjoyable rest of the week. 

Cheers, 

Jack

Shoreline Community College – Celebrating Black History Month: Dorothy Hollingsworth

Dorothy Lee Thomas Hollingsworth was born on October 29, 1920, in Bishopville, South Carolina.  Dorothy was the oldest of three children.  Her sister died at 14 of pneumonia and her brother died from injuries sustained in World War II.  Dorothy once said she always knew she wanted to help people—a desire that grew after learning about social work as a career at an eighth-grade job fair. After graduating from Atkins High School, a missionary from the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church encouraged Dorothy to further her education. She was accepted at Paine College in Augusta, Georgia, and was granted a scholarship from the missionaries. Dorothy continued her education and graduated from an HBCU in 1941, with degrees in social science and education, and was immediately hired as a third-grade teacher.

In 1946, Dorothy and her husband moved to Seattle, WA. The couple sought a new beginning in the hope of escaping the hardships of the South that came with repressive Jim Crow laws and racial segregation. A lifelong learner, Dorothy enrolled at the University of Washington, and in 1959 she received her master’s degree from the School of Social Work.  After graduating, she became a social worker for Seattle Public Schools.  

In the early 1960s, Dorothy became involved in the local civil rights movement, protesting restrictive covenants, fighting for equitable education, and open housing initiatives throughout the city.   In 1965, she was selected as the Director of Head Start, a program that was part of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society’s national anti-poverty initiative—the first in Washington State. Dorothy then became the first African American woman to be elected to the Seattle School Board, becoming board president in 1979. Dorothy served a six-year term helping to guide the city through racial tensions that escalated with the desegregation of schools.

We Celebrate Dorothy Hollingsworth for helping the Seattle, WA community to be more inclusive and equity-minded.
