Message from the President’s Office: Leadership Updates for the 2025–26 Academic Year

Dear Colleagues, 

As we begin the academic year, I want to share some important leadership updates. Our priority remains in maintaining consistent leadership to support our staff, faculty, and students through this time of transition. 

Due to the current hiring freeze, the permanent Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Enrollment and Access positions will remain unfilled and frozen for this fiscal year. To ensure stability and continuity: 

  • Ryan Aiello will continue in his role as Vice President of Student Affairs and serve as Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs through the academic year. This arrangement will be reevaluated in the spring. Ryan is eager to continue focusing on strategic priorities and supporting our teams in this dual role, with the goal of advancing student success and completion. 
  • Belle Lamb will serve as Acting Dean of Enrollment and Access for the academic year, with this arrangement also up for reevaluation in the spring. Belle will continue leading our Guided Pathways work and will also oversee Enrollment Services, Financial Aid, Advising, and Running Start.  
  • Ryan will also continue to receive additional Academic Affairs support from Shanon Ehmke-Reedy, Dean of Communications and Social Sciences, and Lucas Rucks, Associate Vice President of Business Programs and Strategic Partnerships. 

These interim assignments demonstrate our commitment to stability during these challenging times, and to keeping students at the center of our work, while also providing consistent support for faculty and staff. Their leadership, along with your continued care and collaboration will help us better serve our students throughout the year. 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. 

Best,

Jack

Jack S. Kahn Ph.D.
President
Shoreline Community College

Wave of Gratitude

A Wave of gratitude to Amanda Herrera of Student Support Services for Student Engagement.

Amanda did an amazing job organizing the Ask Me stations this year! She went out of her way to ensure every station was continuously stocked up with info about campus services that many new students might not be aware of just yet. Her snack selection was a hit with students, and she made sure volunteers knew that she was grateful for their participation too. Huge shout out to Amanda and her wagon of goodies. Thank you for making sure students felt welcome on the first and second day!
