Please join us for the Campus Budget Conversation on Thursday, May 16, 2019 from 1:30 – 3:00 PM in the Campus Theater (#1600).

The meeting will be recorded and the link to the closed captioned video, available the following week.

From the Human Resources Office: If attending in person, please abstain from wearing personal care products (including hair products, perfume or cologne) containing chemicals or fragrances that might affect individuals with chemical sensitivities.

Thank you.

Dates have been set for New Student Orientation (NSO) for Fall 2019. NSO is held before the start of every fall, winter, and spring quarter to offer incoming students valuable resources and information to help them make the most of their time at Shoreline. If you and/or your department/office are interested in being involved, please e-mail smusnicki@shoreline.edu.

Fall NSO sessions will be offered on:
Tuesday, Sept. 17 from 9am-1pm
Thursday, Sept. 19 from 1pm-5pm
Monday, Sept. 23 from 5-8:30pm

In order to accommodate the larger anticipated attendance in the fall, a third session was added. This will help ensure that groups are smaller and more manageable and will offer an additional opportunity to students who cannot attend the typical morning and evening options.

Thank you to everyone who was involved in this year’s NSOs. We value your participation and could not do it without you!

Dear Colleague,

It was great to have so many employees attend our second All Campus Budget Conversation in person and remotely on April 23. Based on your feedback, we spent a shorter amount of time setting the context, followed by an hour answering questions and clarifying information.

Even with the hour of conversation, there were many questions we were not able to address, so the Executive Team (ET) has provided written answers to questions and have noted all comments. Please note, some additional questions have come in more recently that the ET has not yet been able to review, so we will continue to send out additional responses on Day at a Glance (DAAG).

Here are some additional data points you asked for during the April 23 meeting:

• Obligations on the Cash Balance
• Board & CEO Checks and Balances
• Open Vacant Positions – This list will be provided on May 13, as additional positions have been added and we’re recalculating the total

As a reminder, the timeline for the 2019 Budget Planning process was shared in a DAAG message on May 3. The Budget Planning process is just one piece of our entire 2019-20 budget process to close a $3M shortfall. Here are the other proposed elements in the process:

• Hold open some vacant positions: Saving $800K
• Reduce budgeted expenditures by 2%: Saving $800K
• Assess where we can grow revenue, increase enrollment, and support retention
• Remainder (~$1.4M) will come from cash balances

If you have any additional budget questions or requests for information, you can continue use the online comment form or the physical comment boxes in these locations:

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

Our third Budget Conversation will be on Thursday, May 16 (1:30-3:00 p.m.) in the Theater, Building 1600. I look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,

Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
