January 28 Zoom Hall Recording

February 8, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Dear Colleague,

Thank you for attending the first winter quarter 2021 Campus Update meeting (“Zoom Hall”) on Thursday, January 28. Here is the captioned video recording from the meeting.

Thank you for the very thoughtful and in-depth questions and comments. We were able to respond to all of the questions by the end of the meeting, giving us an opportunity to enjoy the Shoreline Community College Virtual Ensemble 2021’s rendition of Lovely Day. As we viewed the performance together, the following popped up in the Q&A:

“This is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! I wish we could end every meeting this way. :)”

“Please thank Jeff and his students, that was great.”

“That was fantastic! Can we get more of that?!!!”

“Nice work :-)”

Respectfully,

Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

Call for Proposals for 2021 Day of Learning

February 4, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Shoreline Faculty and Staff!

The DEI Learning Team invites you all to submit proposals for leading a session at this year’s Day of Learning on April 30th, 2021! Sessions will be 50 minutes in length and facilitated online. They will need to follow accessibility standards and focus on this year’s theme: How Do We Foster Inclusive Change at Shoreline?

Facilitators do not need to be an expert on their proposed session topic; we are simply asking for proposals from employees who are passionate about issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Learning Team can provide some support to employees who want help in designing their session. Faculty and classified staff facilitators will be paid an hourly rate for leading their sessions on Day of Learning. Further details about dates and submission are below:

Proposal Submission Details:

This Year’s Theme:

How Do We Foster Inclusive Change at Shoreline? Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. We know these words are part of Shoreline’s values, but a lack of consensus on their meaning has made it difficult to embody them and facilitate sustainable changes on our campus. Key questions also face us: How can we navigate difficult conversations about campus culture? How do our unique perspectives shape our understanding of institutional inequities? The goal for this year’s Day of Learning is to learn skills and gain knowledge that will create a more inclusive campus culture for supporting each other and serving our students. While engaging in sessions that center DEI, we will put our shared definitions into individual and collective action, and continue to work on our ongoing commitment to inclusive excellence and institutional change. 

Sample Session Proposal:

  • Proposer: Brigid Nulty 
  • Description: Exploring and developing a shared definition of “Inclusive Pedagogy.” I hope to lead a online activity during which participants compare and integrate definitions from multiple sources. Together we will develop a shared understanding of what Inclusive Pedagogy means, and what it can look like in action.  
  • Area(s) of Focus: Varied, but especially racial equity, ableism, classism (e.g., “first-gen” vs “continuing gen”) 
  • Format: Workshop. Pre-reading required
  • Collaborators: Possibly someone from FLC 
  • Additional information: Would need advance sign-up/registration, so that I can assign pre-reading

Message from Board Chair D’Ambrosio: Presidential Search

February 4, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Dear Campus Community,


Many of you are already aware from President Roberts’ Monday (01 FEB 2021) message, that she has provided us with notice of her retirement, effective 30 JUN 2022.  This date coincides with the conclusion of Dr. Roberts’ current contract.

We are all deeply appreciative of Dr. Roberts’ (17 month) advance notice. This will hopefully afford the College sufficient time, necessary to conduct a thorough and conclusive nation-wide search for our next President.

Your Board of Trustees will be engaging with the SCC Campus Community in the coming weeks and months to articulate and define the Presidential search process and specify the qualifications necessary for a candidate to successfully serve as President of our College.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, it is my distinct honor to express our appreciation to President Roberts for her luminary and steadfast leadership, and her continuous dedication to our students -who have entrusted their education to SCC.

President Roberts has -during her seven-year tenure as SCC’s President consistently demonstrated an unwavering dedication to the entire campus community.  We are deeply appreciative for her perseverance through these most difficult times.

Finding a replacement to fill her shoes will be a sufficiently daunting task.  We are therefore all the more deeply appreciative of the ample notice President Roberts has provided us.

With best regards and our deep, abiding appreciation for your unwavering dedication to the College, and for the knowledge, erudition, skill and educational excellence that each of you bring to our college every day, we remain, sincerely yours,

Catherine Post D’Ambrosio, PhD, RN
Chair, Board of Trustees, Shoreline Community College
