Shoreline’s Capital Projects Receive State Funding

May 12, 2021 by Leave a Comment

We appreciate the significant investments made by the Legislature in our community and technical college system and the thousands of jobs those investments will create in local communities.

Here at Shoreline Community College, we are especially grateful for the funding of construction for our long awaited Health, Science & Advanced Manufacturing Classroom Complex (HSAMCC) – the first new academic building in over 25 years. This project will ultimately remove five, one-story buildings that are over 60 years old and replace them with a state-of-the industry facility that will support the next generation of STEM and Biotechnology students into an eager workplace. (Our Dental Hygiene program will move completely to the UW School of Dentistry at the end of June, where our program will continue to provide a Shoreline degree alongside dental students and faculty who are excited and supportive of this new collaboration.)

We also received design funding for our Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, & Mathematics (STEAM) building that will house our Nursing, Mathematics, Music, Music Technology programs, and other general education classes. We are overjoyed and deeply humbled by the Legislature’s investment in our projects.

We are grateful for the Legislature’s commitment to the present and future generations of our students who will be educated in spaces that are ecologically and educationally appropriate for 21st century learning!

Shoreline to enter contract for Starfish Software

May 5, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Shoreline is pursuing a sole source contract with education company, EAB, for the utilization of their student success platform, Starfish.

Starfish is an enterprise-level student success software platform that allows students to connect with an individualized network of supports and facilitates scheduling and communication with students across departments. In addition to enhanced student engagement tools, Starfish offers in-depth advising solutions, predictive analytics, early alert functionality, and cohort management options.

At its foundation, Starfish helps higher education institutions implement reliable data to pinpoint areas of concern and opportunity within courses and student populations, as well as institutional programs and services. Upon identifying these opportunities, the platform enables staff to connect students with helpful resources on campus and also allows administrators to refine their student success strategies.

Please see the attached letter below for more information regarding Starfish and it’s integration with both ctcLink and Guided Pathways.

Barring any last-minute competitors for the bid, it is Shoreline’s intent to enter a 3-year contract with EAB beginning June 30, 2021.

For questions or more information, please contact Raisa Minchuk at rminchuk@shoreline.edu.

May 5, 2021 by Leave a Comment

President Cheryl Roberts previously announced her intention to retire as of June 30, 2022, however her term will now end earlier than anticipated, on June 30, 2021. 

The Shoreline Community College Board of Trustees took action to establish an earlier contract separation date at a special meeting on Tuesday, May 4, 2021. The Trustees expressed their gratitude for President Roberts’ service and leadership at the College, and the Board Chair, Dr. Catherine D’Ambrosio, read a draft resolution to acknowledge her many accomplishments at Shoreline to date. 

The draft resolution states in part, “The Shoreline Community College Board of Trustees hereby recognizes Dr. Cheryl L. Roberts for her vision, leadership both inside the College as well as the broader community of legislators and elected officials, her erudition and academic excellence in leading Shoreline Community College and in forging the College’s path into the future and with a heart for equity, diversity and inclusion, writing the introduction to our next chapter.” 

President Roberts will continue to serve in her role as president of the College through June 30, 2021, however there may be some intermittent periods where she will take personal leave time. During those times, a temporarily designated administrator in charge (AIC) will be named. 

The Board of Trustees anticipates appointing an acting or interim president by June 30, 2021, and the College’s Executive Team will work closely with President Roberts to ensure a seamless transition plan is in place. 

UPDATE AS OF MAY 14, 2021:

At the Friday, May 14 Board of Trustees public meeting, the Board took formal action to pass Resolution No. 162 “Commending Service of President Cheryl Roberts,” which was first read at the Tuesday, May 4 meeting.
