Campus Updates 5/22/2025

May 22, 2025 by Leave a Comment

Well, it’s been another busy one at SCC but a lot to celebrate this week.   

On Friday I was able to attend the UW undergraduate research symposium where we had 21 (yes I said 21) undergraduate students presenting their honors research posters.  Apparently 6000 students in total took part in the event.  I was able to see some of our students “in action” as well which was a real treat.  Their confidence and excitement for learning was palpable and certainly mentored by Michael Overa who coordinates the program (and this opportunity) and faculty like Rachel david (who I ran into at the event supporting her students).   

I was also able to attend the SIFF opening night which was a blast.  The film was really fun and of course connecting with the community even more fun.  I’m so glad we can host events like this on campus, particularly those that directly support our academic programs.   

I was also able to attend *some* of several great events including the Interdisciplinary Studies presentation “The Power of Language and Empathy,” where students learned from multiple disciplines and engaged in a great presentation. Thank you to our faculty and deans for coordinating!  I also attended the wonderful Gallery: AFA Thesis Exhibition Artist Reception and met some of the artists, and I took in about 20 minutes of the great Exploring the Pathway: Biomedical Sciences event (featuring industry leaders and faculty).  Sadly, I was triple booked and only caught some of all of these great events.   

Yesterday, we were thrilled to have representatives from the Tlingit & Haida on campus discussing how our region can best support them (and each other). Alaska Natives make up a large proportion of our indigenous students in this region of WA state (and at SCC) and with a new office just up the street, collaboration becomes even easier. We also had DEI leaders from Everett Community College, Cascadia College, Edmonds College, and Lake Washington Institute of Technology. Can’t wait for next steps! Thank you to Brian Ramos and Alejandra Salgado for making this all happen here. 

Weekly work has been focused on the budget and trying to manage next steps.  Several of us listened to Governor Ferguson’s presentation yesterday and were pleased that we do indeed have a budget.  We do not yet know the impact on us and are waiting for guidance from the state.  We expect to know more soon.  I will keep you posted as we know more.  Here is an article on the topic:  Gov. Ferguson signs contentious $77.9B operating budget. 

Hope you all have a great week.   

Cheers, 

Jack

Enrollments

Printing Services will be closed Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday, May 28, 29, & 30th respectively, and will reopen on Monday, June 1st.  Please plan accordingly and contact Greg Jensen via email or phone at (206) 546-4674 if you need assistance with your printing needs. 

Technology Support Services (TSS) 

Starting this summer, TSS will begin migrating student email accounts from Google to our Microsoft platform to enhance the technical experience for our students and ensure optimal support and management of student accounts. As part of this change, student email addresses will shift from @go.shoreline.edu to @shoreline.edu. Emails sent to the old addresses will be automatically redirected to the new ones.  

This transition is necessary for several key reasons, including: 

  • Google’s discontinuation of unlimited free accounts for students 
  • Reduced storage capacity on Google accounts 
  • Enhanced systems management capabilities available through Microsoft 

In light of Google’s policy change, it will also be necessary to decommission older Gmail @go.shoreline.edu accounts. TSS has already begun notifying affected users and will work with alumni to help them migrate their data to a personal account of their choice. 

Due to the significant amount of data and configuration work involved, the migration process will begin in the Summer 2025 quarter, with the official go-live date projected for Winter 2026. All student emails and data will be preserved during this transition. 

To support this transition, TSS will provide comprehensive documentation and training materials for all students, faculty, and staff who have Gmail accounts ending in @go.shoreline.edu. Additional notifications and updates will be shared as we approach the transition period. 

Thank you for your attention to this important update. 

Communication and Marketing 

We’re glad that so many of you were able to attend the 60th Anniversary Open House earlier this month! If you missed it (or just want to revisit the fun) please enjoy this event recap, created by our own Rob Berg:

Foundation/Advancement 

Scholarship Update: We are finalizing scholarship awarding this week. This year we are giving out more than 150 scholarships with a minimum award amount of $1,000! 

Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback on the new scholarship process. We’re happy with the results so far and feeling optimistic as we smooth out additional details. If you are a reader, advisor, instructor, etc. and have other thoughts, please send them to Kara at khaney@shoreline.edu.  

And once again, thank you to everyone who helped with reading scholarships. Your help is critical to getting these scholarship funds to students. You’re the best! 

Alumni Update: The 60th Anniversary Open House was a wonderful reminder of the strong bonds within our community! We loved seeing all the proud SCC Alumni join the Networking Panel and Alumni Reception.   

As we continue to build our alumni program, we invite you to support this initiative by sharing alumni and former faculty contact lists with Taisa at twelhasch@shoreline.edu. Our goal is to keep alumni engaged through e-newsletters highlighting campus events, student stories, and networking opportunities. We look forward to working with each program to explore the best ways to support alumni engagement and networking. Thank you for your support!
