International Transfer Fair Recap
November 4, 2022 by Leave a Comment
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!

As a reminder, for those wishing to acknowledge the work of fellow shoreline staff members or a group at Shoreline, you need only submit a Waves of Gratitude form for individuals or a Shoreline Shoutout for groups. Thank you from the Employee Recognition Committee – Rob, Wanda, and Megan.

EVENTS AND NEWS
Happy Thursday all! I hope your week is going well. I am mostly over the jet lag from the trip to New York last week, but not quite. I wanted to begin by thanking folks who reached out with a few comments about the TRUST Memo #1 that I sent out on October 31, 2022. No, it wasn’t a spam email from me (that has happened this year) and yes it was the final draft (despite being called DRAFT on the original email). We have posted it here so that you can visit it at any time. We have discussed this in the Executive Team meeting and have already begun operationalizing items. I will report-out on this memo during the Community Check-in on November 8th at 2:30 and then a briefer TRUST Memo #2 to follow with updates, by the end of November.
My week has been super busy catching up on emails and projects. I did get to visit with one of my Professional Development mentors, Dr. Amit Singh from Edmonds College. He is really great to connect with and learn from. He has been a president all over the country and it is very interesting to learn about the differences across the states.
And some good news! This summer we put together a shared governance task force Request for Proposal and scoring rubric to select an organization to work with us to create our new DEI Strategic Plan. The team worked tirelessly and made a recommendation to ET this week which was accepted unanimously. MIG’s RPF is the apparent successful bidder. We hope to sign the contract with them soon. Special thanks to members of the RFP task force: Leann De Luna, Nancy Dick, Jonathan Molinaro, JoAnna Buxton, Roberto Lopez, Celine Pastore, and Sarah Swanberg. Michael Boehme and John Tankersley also assisted in the beginning of the process as well.
And last, I am ending today with an apology. I had thought a position was posted for recruitment and said so last week, but it was not. The update is: The College has 2 Grounds & Nursery Specialist 2 positions, one of which is currently vacant. While prior recruitments have not yielded a viable applicant pool, the timing of this Fall’s recruitment should catch those being laid off for the winter from summer landscaping jobs with an anticipated hire in December/January. Hope that makes sense.
