Bomb Cyclone? Thank you to staff and faculty!

November 22, 2024 by Leave a Comment

Good afternoon all– 

Im not crazy about the phrase, but my guess is that “bomb cyclone” wasn’t on your bingo card.  Wasn’t on mine, but surprise!  

What I am NOT surprised about is how well our staff and faculty handled the situation.  The executive Team wanted to send a brief thank you to campus representatives for all your hard work and coordination and my apologies if I miss anyone!  First- Thank you to the ET members for late night and early morning planning meeting(s).  Second– Our faculty and classified union colleagues for collaboration as we navigated this together.  

To instruction, we want to express gratitude to all the faculty who provided real-time support to the students, and the deans who supported the faculty.  Thank you so much specifically to the STEM-folks: Katelyn Eggiman, George Johnson,& Psalm Amos for managing creative solutions to manage instructional materials.  In Dental Hygiene: thanks so much to Glenda O’Malley and in Humanities: Mary Bonar for coordinating as well. 

To Human Resources:  Delene Bryant & Terrell Fox ensured our Payroll Completion, and several folks focused on ensuring our safety and security including; Greg Cranson, Nathan Torrez, Ethan Kasberg, Brandon Beauvais, David Banik, Emiliano Gamboa & Mike Erga.  

Our TSS team got the servers and network back immediately after the power came back!  Thank you to Jason Brandon, Ric Doike-Foreman, Vladamir Riazzanov, & Jason Leibert.  Several facilities folks were here addressing safety issues and literally removing obstacles for us to get safely back to work.  Thank you to Kimberlee Clark, Ron Norimatsu, Quang Le, Tom Harvey, Tony Diaz, Norm Mclain, & Dean Weller as well as a thank you to Junaid Haq for helping our parents and kids at the PCC!

Student Services colleagues and our residence hall teams really did so much for our students- thank you to Sundi Musnicki, Mashaal Shameem, Amalia Akagi, Darain Khan (RA), Riley Brooks (RA), Imani Mwakibete (RA), & Mustapha Ganiyu (RA), Asija Johnson (Blanton Turner)& Blake Rock (Blanton Turner).

And finally: Cat Chiappa, Steve, Marshall, Damon Logan, and all involved in communications!  There are areas to improve of course but we are so thankful of the thoughtfulness and action-orientation folks took to this.  Thats how we do it at SCC!  

Be well all- supposed to be some more wind action this weekend (not as bad but still some imapct).

Cheers,

Jack

Out of Service- Bldg. 6000 (Cedar) Elevator

November 21, 2024 by Leave a Comment

Dear Campus Community,

The Building 6000 (Cedar) elevator is currently out of order, likely do to our recent storm and loss of power. An elevator tech has been requested on an emergency service call and is expected to respond to campus today. We do not have an estimated time of arrival as many service providers deal with regular and emergency service calls while our region recovers from our recent storm. 

For those who may require accommodations as a result of the elevator being out of service:

Please reach out with any questions.

Respectfully,

Gregory Cranson

Power Outage Follow-up- Clean Our Your Work Fridges

November 21, 2024 by Leave a Comment

Good morning everyone, 

I hope that everyone is doing OK after the power outages and wind many of us experienced.  I wanted to take a minute before lunchtime to quickly go over a couple of follow-up items to consider 

  • Personal/Lunchroom Fridges:
    1. We recommend cleaning out any perishable items from your personal and lunchroom fridges.  That could include lunch meats, leftovers, frozen meals etc.  The power at the College went out around 7:00pm Tuesday night 11/19 and was off until right around 4pm yesterday 11/20. 
  • Avanti
    1. The fridges in the Avanti market are currently out of order as Avanti works to replace the perishable items.  It will take a couple of days to restock as they have several clients who were also hit with power outages.

If you see anything else that needs to be addressed as a result of the outage/wind, please contact Facilities at sccfacilities@shoreline.edu 

Have a great day!

Cat
