Dean of Access and Advising

July 26, 2022 by Leave a Comment

The hiring committee held final interviews during the week of June 24th, 2022, for the Dean of Access and Advising. A final decision was made to offer the position to Chippi Bello. At the time of the offer, Ms. Bello held the role of director for the College’s AANAPISI grant.

Chitpasong Bello, affectionately known as Chippi, has more than 25 years of higher education experience in the private and public sectors, as well as community colleges and four-year institutions. She was previously an Associate Dean of Financial Aid at Clark College where she oversaw veterans services, student employment, scholarships, financial aid, and workforce education services. 

Currently, Chippi is the Director of the AANAPISI project and Acting Financial Aid Director at Shoreline. She comes to Shoreline with not only a wealth of experience in higher education – especially in the areas mentioned above – but also with personal experiences that help her see students’ perspectives. She is a proud refugee from the country of Laos, where her family escaped in the early 1980s. They faced many challenges as United States immigrants, and Chippi recognizes those challenges as privileges to help others. 

The College will begin immediate recruitment for the new director for the AANAPISI program.

Good Morning All,

During the heat wave this week, please see the following tips and guidelines for staying safe while working:  

Heat Safety Tips

  •  All employees should make a conscious effort to ensure proper hydration and ventilation.
  • Drink plenty of water, and have a beverage with you at all times.
  • Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink.
  • Avoid drinks with caffeine and/or large amounts of sugar which can increase dehydration.
  • Take regular breaks as needed in cooler areas where possible.
  • On campus employees can visit the air-conditioned Bldg 9000 – PUB throughout the day.
  • If working at home, cover/close windows that receive morning and afternoon light to reduce heat entering your home.
  • Any employee who works is working without air conditioning may submit leave for any hours the individual is uncomfortable working due to the heat.
  • If the employee has a health condition that is affected by the heat, sick leave may also be used for necessary time away.

EVENTS AND NEWS 

Shoreline held an event on July 15, 2022, “Showcase of Learning,” led by Dr. Reitha Weeks, Dr. Jan Chalupny, and Dr. Dina Kovarik. The Showcase was the culmination of a 3-day camp, which included learning about Biotechnology Essentials, experiencing working in a lab setting, and analysis of individual biotechnology projects. The outcomes were presented by the students as poster sessions to parents, staff, and other students.  

This was an interactive camp where students were busy with lab experiments, bioinformatics lessons, and learning about careers in biotechnology!   

The faculty reported that they couldn’t have been happier working with the 24 high school students, including students from eight different school districts. President Kahn and Diana Dotter have multiple events scheduled with community partners, K12 contacts, and board members in both August and September.

RETURN TO CAMPUS/COVID-19  
Cases     

  • (4) new positive cases were reported in the last 7 days (9 fewer than the previous week).  

As of 7/19/22, according to the CDC, King County has reached a High Covid-19 community level. 

  • King County Public Health still has the county set at a Medium community level. This is likely due to a difference in how the two agencies count cases, as explained on the King County community level dashboard – excerpt below: 

7/18/2022: Our reported COVID-19 hospitalization rate at any given time may differ from the CDC’s reported rate because our data quality team excludes cases among people who are hospitalized for other reasons but also have COVID-19 (“incidental hospitalizations”), while the CDC includes those cases. 

  • Given the rise in prevalence of the BA.5 variant, we recommend getting a vaccine booster if you are eligible and wearing a well-fitting mask in situations where you will be in close contact with others, such as labs and crowded classrooms

Construction Update from Facilities

July 21, 2022 by Leave a Comment

Hello Campus Community,

It’s time to start another project.  We will have a contractor on site starting Monday, 7/25, through Friday, 8/12.  They will be completing roof repair work for the 2700 and 2900 buildings.  The 2700 repairs will consist of work in one section of the overhang and roof.  

The 2900 repairs consist of work on the roof and skylights.  Any skylight work that needs to be done within the 2900 building will be done on Fridays only.  

This work will have no impact to building access.  There will be intermittent noisy work and odorous smells associated with these repairs.  

If you have any questions, please email me directly.

Thank you,

Kimberlee Clark
