Events and News 

Well good evening everyone,

This past week has been really busy but more on the “internal” side of things.  I’ve been in my office in meetings, and doing emails a lot (likely as you have) and looking out my window enjoying the sunshine!  That is definitely something to celebrate. 

I wanted to sincerely thank everyone who participated in the Day of Learning this year.  I really felt like we balanced the right tone combining education and fun, delivering some important message along the way. Thank you so much to the team that developed the program and found ways for us to connect in various modalities in very meaningfully ways. Thank you to the funny-sock subcommittee (I’m kidding about the subcommittee 😊), the folks who rolled up their sleeves to work on SMART objectives and learning outcomes, and to those that met in strategic planning sessions.  I know we have a lot of work to do as well as some hurdles to overcome.  We are at a time where we take steps forward, then a bit backward, but always forward again.  As I said in the welcome, we will be making some changes this year that help significantly improve the College, and we will continue to evolve and improve.  I appreciate you all, and all that you do! 

Finally, I did have one opportunity for a community connection this week at City Hall.  I have been meeting regularly with the Chief of Police and Greg Cranson to plan projects, but I’m hoping to do so with other city partners, particularly in assisting the City (and SCC) in finding ways to demonstrate the City’s anti-racism resolution, creating tangible results that support students in the community.  We are already doing a lot of this great work through Workforce and other means (and a big thanks To Lauren and her team who were mentioned at the meeting!) but with some more structure and explicit goals, we could see some additional great things happen. 

Enjoy your week 

Best, 

Jack

Important System Outage Update 5/12/23

Good afternoon,

Yesterday we shared some important ransomware updates in our campus forum that we also want to share with you here, in case you were unable to attend. 

Positive Progress 

We have made some really great progress with our recovery and restoration efforts. A huge thank you to TSS for their dedication and round-the-clock work during this time. 

  • Campuswide wireless has been restored. TSS has mounted 100 access points, which took approximately three weeks. Most every working area has full coverage; however, we are aware of a few outstanding areas. We are putting in an order for 20 additional access points to resolve those issues. 
  • Sixty-two new teaching computers were installed in classrooms for spring courses. These computers connect to Wi-Fi. TSS is currently working to ensure that all summer and fall classrooms will be ready and anticipate having the wired network restored for all classrooms and instructional areas that will be in use by Fall quarter.
    • The College has worked to get the student classroom labs operational for Spring quarter and that restoration effort is 97% complete. 
  • 55 laptops have been deployed by TSS and 250 desktops have been ordered and will be deployed during the Summer quarter. 
  • TSS is currently working on implementing several improved security protocols across the entire Shoreline infrastructure, which we will provide additional updates on. 
  • We now have a temporary solution for our intranet and are working to repopulate the documents and information. 

Important Data Restoration Update 

We have been working with the Dell EMC team for the past six weeks to reestablish the connection to the back-up data in the cloud. Unfortunately, we were made aware that despite their best efforts, Dell was unable to recover the data stored in the cloud. Data stored locally on desktop computers can be unencrypted and returned to the user. We have consulted other engineers for a second opinion, and unfortunately, they have also concluded the same as Dell. 

As a result, we will need to recover data in other ways and rebuild. Here are some steps we are currently taking: 

  • Data Identification
    • We have created a data identification spreadsheet to help us navigate the platform and service needs for every department across campus. This spreadsheet was shared with ET this morning. Meetings are being set up with department heads across campus to work with their teams and populate the document for review.
      • Once we receive the information back from the departments, we will have a clearer picture of the data and rebuild needs for the campus 
  • File Restoration Efforts
    • TSS has begun working through the submitted requests for local desktop file restoration, and thus far efforts have proven successful. To be added to the queue for local file restoration, please submit a ticket via this form. 

On Monday we will be sharing out some other helpful information about website requests and OneDrive/SharePoint, so stay tuned for more updates. 

We thank you for your continued patience and flexibility as we truly appreciate your efforts. Thank you for being a wonderful campus community.
