Day at a Glance

After 3 years of extremely limited in-person outreach travel, Shoreline CC’s International Education department is on the road again, meeting with overseas partners, prospective students, parents, and U.S. Dept. of State representatives. The IE team is also delighted to host overseas partners on our beautiful campus again! 

Associate Vice President for International Education and Global Engagement, Samira Pardanani visited New Delhi, India on Oct. 14 and 15 to meet with our partners in India. She then joined the Director of International Outreach, Bo Fu in Indonesia from October 16-22 to connect with partners, parents, and students. These incredible photos truly show how international education is a “relationship business” that is built on long-lasting partnerships and trust. Some of the College’s international partnerships are almost 20 years old!  

Thank you to Samira and her team for representing Shoreline Community College all over the world!
