January 21, 2020 by Leave a Comment

Dear Colleague,

The College has temporarily appointed Gavin Smith as Acting Director of Technology Support Services (TSS). Smith has worked in TSS since 2004 as Database/Web Applications Programmer and has authored several online tools including the class schedule system, the campus directory, and the student email sign-up system.  He will report to Executive Director Ann Garnsey-Harter up to the Office of the President. Garnsey-Harter expressed gratitude: “We are so appreciative of Gavin stepping into this role, especially at this sad time. Gavin similarly stepped into a different role last year, that of Acting Organizational Change and Project Manager for the ctcLink project, until we hired a permanent person into that role.”

Smith can be reached at extension 4792 in office # 4124.

The College will be working on a permanent staffing solution in the coming months.

Thank you,

Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.

DES – Risk Management, Safety Survey

January 21, 2020 by Leave a Comment

From Safety & Security Director Edwin Lucero:

Please take a few minutes to complete a short safety survey.

With questions about workplace safety that are relevant for each of us. Each year, the DES State Office of Risk Management, together with the State Agency Safety Professionals Alliance (SASPA), administers the safety survey. The 2020 Safety Survey will be open for all state employees through February 21st, 2020.

The survey is intended to enhance our culture of worker safety. State agencies use survey results to develop a safety action plan for addressing the issues identified. Survey information will help Shoreline Community College, Office of Risk Management, and Safety Committee members evaluate our safety program, identify gaps, and plan safety initiatives to enhance employee workplace safety.

The survey is anonymous. Results will be collected by the DES State Office of Risk Management, then tallied and sent in summary form to each state agency.

Please let me know if you have any questions at elucero@shoreline.edu. Thank you!
