Shout Out to Everyone! From Joe Chiappa

To All My Friends and Colleagues at Shoreline,

Three and a half years ago my family and I moved to the Pacific Northwest so that I could help the college through a difficult transition. We didn’t know at the time how difficult things would get as the world was seemingly turned upside-down with unprecedented challenges. Despite the circumstances, I witnessed our community persevere, balancing both personal and professional struggles while continuing to focus on our students and still move ctcLink from a project to our reality. As I prepare to move on to a new opportunity, I wanted to thank each and every one of you for your kindness and support as well as the countless hours and late nights you have put in over this time. I am so proud to have worked with you and to see what you have accomplished. You have paved the way for a new chapter at Shoreline and I look forward to seeing how this chapter unfolds.

Best wishes,

Joe Chiappa

International Transfer Fair Recap

International Education hosted the first in-person Transfer Fair since Winter 2020 on November 3. Check out our photos and recap below!

Approximately 70 colleges and universities sent admissions representatives who set up in our Main Dining Room, ready to tell students all about their offerings. Shoreline collaborates with our neighboring SBCTC colleges to schedule transfer fairs during the same week, making it easier for more institutions to participate in multiple fairs during one trip.

Well over 100 students attended the event, including about 30 students visiting from Whatcom Community College! Representatives reported that students were well-prepared and asked focused questions about their institutions. They’re just as excited as we are to be back in person!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, including President Kahn! Stay tuned for the Winter Transfer Fair, coming January 31 – all students and staff are welcome!

Waves of Gratitude

Waves of Gratitude for Cody Verochio of Financial Services/Accounting Office for respect and staff support. Cody is awesome! Cody works in the Accounting Office. He is always there to help with accounting issues AND travel questions. He showed us how to submit Travel Authorization and Travel Expenses in ctcLink! He made sure invoices are paid at the end of the fiscal year. Even in difficult situations, Cody manages to be calm and work through the problems. He is so amazing to work with. Thank you, Cody!
