Day at a Glance

Dear Colleague,

Thank you for attending the Campus Budget Conversation on Friday, October 11. If you missed the meeting, you can watch the video recording.

Here are responses to the most recent budget questions that were submitted last week. Additional budget-related questions, comments, and suggestions may be submitted any time via an online feedback form as well as physical comment boxes in the following locations:

• FOSS 3rd Floor Break Room (Room 5325)
• PUB 2nd floor Break Room (Room 9212)
• 2800 Building (Math & Science Main Office-Reception Desk)
• 2300 Building (Health Occupations Break Room-#2340)
• Library Main Desk (4200 Floor)

This feedback will be collected each Wednesday, and the Executive Team will make every effort to provide responses to this feedback by the following Wednesday.

This year, we’ve created a Budget SharePoint site, so there is one centralized location for employees to access all budget-related documentation and resources. On this site, there is a folder called “05 – Budget Information” where you’ll find all of the responses to the budget-related questions employees have submitted via the online and physical comment boxes. For questions about accessing the Sharepoint site, please refer to this overview video.

Respectfully,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

The annual Parent-Child Center costume walk will be held on Thurs., Oct. 31 from 9:30-11am. For those new to the College and unfamiliar with this event, children who attend the Parent-Child Center trick-or-treat across campus departments.

Various departments have shared in this exciting event with the children by offering treats for their goody bags.

If your department would like the trick-or-treaters to stop by, please email Jocelyn Ramos at joramos@shoreline.edu.

This year there will be approximately 70 children, ranging from 5 months to 5 years of age. Please make sure you have enough goodies to accommodate 70 children. Treats departments have given out in the past have included stickers, crackers, pencils, candies, etc.

If you choose to hand out candy, please NO hard candies or items that contain any NUTS.

Good Morning All,

As we approach the season of inclement weather, please review the 2019-20 Suspended Operations memo from President Roberts.

Please direct any questions about this information to your supervisor or to Human Resources staff members.

Thank you.

Powerpoint slides from the October 11 meeting are now posted on the Budget Sharepoint site.

The Budget Sharepoint site can be viewed by anyone with the Shoreline UserID and login.  If you have not been able to access the Sharepoint site, the first minute of this overview video provides steps to accessing information.

Congratulations to Jennifer Brown, a Shoreline student currently studying abroad in Japan thanks to a $2000 Gilman scholarship award.

Studying abroad helps students broaden their worldview and allows them to experience different cultures, discover a different style of education, hone language skills, discover new career tracks, find new areas of interest, and gain life experience and opportunities for personal growth. Many students don’t take advantage of study abroad opportunities because they aren’t aware of the many scholarships available to help defray the costs.

Please help spread the word to students about the Gilman scholarship, as well as the numerous other scholarships available to students to study abroad.

And tell students to check out the many fabulous 2020 Study Abroad opportunities posted on Shoreline’s Study Abroad page.
