Day at a Glance

• A wave of gratitude from Jenna Durney to Alan Loveless! “Thank you for bringing in jugs of water to the office to help us get through to the next water delivery for our water dispenser. That was incredibly kind and thoughtful.”

• A wave of gratitude from Wanda Waldrop to the anonymous leave donors! “Our donated leave is truly anonymous. But I know that many people from manufacturing, facilities, and others donated to me. I was very ill and took months to fully recover and be back full time. Without the donations, I would have been in a world of hurt for sure. So thank you all!”

• A wave of gratitude to Nancy Marshal! “Nancy is able to juggle many huge projects at the same time. She makes sure faculty are paid for any extra work in a timely manner. She handles the scheduling of classes and there have been numerous changes of faculty, rooms, and times this year. Our departments would not run without her. She is the heart of HOPE/B.”

• A wave of gratitude to Leslie Potter-Henderson! “Leslie has brought unity and calm to the library including a vision for the library that encourages us to pursue library innovations and personal professional development while focusing on inclusion.”

• A wave of gratitude to Jocelyn Ramos! “Jocelyn Ramos has stepped into a leadership role at the Parent/Child (where there were 3 people in Leadership and now it’s only her). Though she has so much on her plate, she has taken the time to help me with some unexpected computer challenges as well as being gracious enough to be the go-between on of the paperwork that our previous manager handled and now is handled by someone else (that isn’t physically here at the center).”

3rd Annual Day of Learning
Friday April 24. 2020
8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Presented by the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Learning Team: Pilar Corder, Elena Esquibel, Marisa Herrera, Crystal Hess, David Isaac, Brigid Nulty, and Zoe Swanson.

Theme: What is Inclusion?
The annual Day of Learning serves to provide time for intentionality, reflection, and a renewed commitment to support and value every member of our community (employees and students) – particularly those who are often marginalized. Our goal for this year’s Day of Learning is to improve knowledge and skills around implementing inclusive practices across campus by revisiting our Community Standard, exploring how interpersonal, group, and systemic interactions promote or deny inclusion, and empowering one another to enact change.

Community Standard Statement
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly…”
—Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Shoreline Community College is a place for students, employees, and the community to pursue excellence in education in an environment dedicated to equity, inclusiveness, and self-reflection. We value respectful, dynamic interactions and lively discussion. We strive to create an environment where everyone is supported and valued. Shoreline Community College does not tolerate hateful, violent, or discriminatory actions that target any person or group based on their beliefs, customs, identity, or affiliations. When one of us is diminished, all of us are diminished.

More Information, and Request for Proposals

The DEI Learning Team invites colleagues across campus to join us in leading sessions. Please refer to our webpage on the intranet, for more information.
