Day at a Glance

Dear Colleagues,

As shared previously in messages to our campus community, all College employees (regardless of work modality) must complete the online attestation form regarding their vaccination status, as well provide proof of vaccination. As a reminder, employees who are requesting a medical or religious exemption must still complete the online attestation form as well as submit documentation to HR to begin an interactive dialogue regarding the exemption and accommodation process.

The attestation and proof of vaccination to Human Resources must be completed no later than October 18, 2021 or the employee’s first day back on campus, whichever occurs first.

The validation of vaccination documentation will be conducted one-on-one with a Human Resources staff member, either online or in-person.  Please be ready to show the following items:

• Photo identification
• Proof of vaccination*
  • CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Card or photo of the card; or
  • Documentation of vaccination from a health care provider or electronic health card; or
  • State immunization record; or
  • Employees vaccinated outside the U.S. may show a reasonable equivalent of these documents

The following times are available to briefly connect with Human Resources to show proof of vaccination.

Monday, October 11, 2:00pm-2:45pm – ONLINE

*Please note, at this time the College is not required to, nor does it plan to keep copies of vaccination documents.

If you would like to schedule a specific time to complete your verification, please contact hr@shoreline.edu.

Questions regarding this information or other items related to the vaccination attestation requirement can be directed to hr@shoreline.edu at any time.

Thank you,

The College is pleased to announce, not only about our excitement regarding the Five-Year Title III, AANAPISI grant, but also about the hiring of the director for that role. Chitpasong Bello has accepted the position of Director, AANAPISI Program and will begin on November 1, 2021. 

Chitpasong Bello, or affectionately known as Chippi, has more than 25 years of higher education experiences 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. Before coming to Clark, Chippi worked almost 20 years at Clackamas Community College (CCC) serving in various positions including Director of Financial Aid and Operations Manager. She has also served as a Federal Program Manager at Brigham Young University-Hawaii (BYU-H) Campus. In addition to her administrative roles, Chippi is an adjunct professor at various institutions.
