Campus Updates 5/15/2025

Hello all, hope you are doing well.  

It’s been another crazy week here – I Imagine for you as well.   

Last Thursday we had our amazing 60th anniversary!  This was such an amazing event.  It was great seeing faculty talks, alumni, and all kinds of representation of our institution.  The community seemed to have a great time as well.  Thanks to ALL who helped coordinate and a special thanks to Wendy Coates, Cat Chiappa, and our donors! 

On Wednesday, Megan Tucker, Wendy Coates, and I presented to the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce to discuss who we are, our challenges, and how the Chamber can continue to help us.  It was a good-sized meeting with a lot of engagement from the community.  We collected several names of folks who have ideas for internships and jobs for our students, which is great!  We went “old school” and had people write their emails on a notebook (gasp!).  We survived without a QR code. 

This week I am working on budget stuff, moving policy work forward, and trying to improve some items for our participatory governance next steps in the fall.  Hope to see some of you at the food truck later this afternoon. 

 Cheers, 

 Jack

College Council Updates 

At the April 29, 2025 meeting, College Council unanimously approved updates to indicators of mission fulfillment:  

  1. The College’s “commitment to . . . community engagement” will be measured by the number of Foundation-sponsored events offered to the internal and/or external community and  
  1. The target for “enrichment of . . . our local . . . communities” will be to maintain or increase $100M in an annual economic impact.  

Finally, College Council unanimously approved a mission fulfillment threshold of 70%. If 70% of aggregated indicators of mission fulfillment are scored as target met or adequate progress (within 5% points of target), then the mission has been fulfilled (at least minimally).
