Full-Time Faculty Positions, 2023-24

February 2, 2023 by pioscc Leave a Comment

Dear Shoreline Faculty,

I am writing as a follow up to our email from last week regarding full-time faculty hiring for the 2023-24 year. Our message from last week was about the process and the overall number that we could hire. The intent of this email is to clarify the areas of hiring and a little more information about our ethnic studies path.

The following areas will post for full-time faculty tenure lines, with anticipated start date in Fall 2023: Nursing 1, Nursing 2, Automotive-General Service Technician, Biotech/Biology, Dental Hygiene 1, Medical Lab Technology (MLT), Music, Economics, Automotive-Toyota, and Supply Chain Management.
The following areas will post for an 80% pro-rata faculty position: Nursing 3 and Dental Hygiene 2.
The College will be filling an annual contract full-time faculty member in Ethnic Studies. In last week’s message, we had indicated this area would receive a pro-rata position. However, as we considered the body of work needed to develop curriculum, test a variety of pathways, redevelop partnerships, build a program marketing plan, and assure sustainability – the College believes that a providing a 100% annual contract for this area is necessary. We will begin some of this development work as early as this spring 2023 quarter.

Lastly, we continue to monitor enrollment and our budget such that, if resources become available, we may be able to provide more full-time tenure opportunities for Shoreline. The FPCs have discussed this in our monthly meetings and we will coordinate with the deans as we monitor student scheduling needs in AY24.

Please contact Dr. Kahn, AVP Lucas Rucks, or me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Phillip J. King, Ed.D.

From Strategic Planning & Budget Council Chair Sarah Swanberg: Be a part of something huge…the Strategic Plan Task Force

February 2, 2023 by pioscc Leave a Comment

Dear Shoreline Community College Colleagues:

I am writing as this year’s Chair of the Strategic Planning and Budget Council to let you know that you have a chance to be part of something HUGE! Shoreline is embarking on a journey to develop our Strategic Plan for the next 5-10 years, and for this to be a success, we need our college community to be a part of the process. To move the project forward and advise and guide the development of the Strategic Plan, a Strategic Plan Task Force is being created.

We are seeking people with various expertise, experience, networks, and unique perspectives to sit on the Task Force for the duration of the project, roughly from February through October. This includes both part-time and full-time faculty, represented and classified staff, students, and community members. (Part-time faculty would be paid for their work).

Task Force members will be asked to attend a total of six meetings, attend the Equity Visioning and Strategic Planning Charrette (Workshop) as well as participate in workgroups that will directly draft the plan’s goals, objectives and actions. Our consultant team MIG will be leading us through the process.

If you would like to be a part of this exciting endeavor, please send an email of interest (or any questions) to Sarah Swanberg at sswanberg@shoreline.edu by February 8th, 2023.

Sincerely,

Sarah Swanberg

From M. Dixon, VP-Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: Black History Month

February 2, 2023 by pioscc Leave a Comment

February is Black History Month in the United States. Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by Black and African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. The event was the brainchild of historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans and has been officially recognized since 1976. To illuminate our commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Shoreline CC will be providing a host of events to educate and celebrate black culture. A schedule of opportunities will be sent to the college early next week and we hope the entire college community will participate to learn more about traditions, barriers and opportunities to better serve our students.

Our first highlight to kick off Black History Month is:

Ellen Garrison Clark, a Black anti-slavery activist, civil rights advocate, and educator. Ms. Ellen Garrison Clark was born free in Concord, Mass., on April 24, 1823, owned by no one. She used her position to travel throughout the South for many years, teaching former slaves to read and write. Ms. Clark protected her citizenry with a passport, which confirmed her status as a free woman. Shoreline CC encourages you to explore more about Ellen Garrison Clark and her extensive contributions that advanced the lives of thousands of Black people.
