Return of the Building Marshall Program

Dear Colleagues,

Shoreline is re-instating the Building Marshal (formerly Building Monitor) program. Being a Building Marshal is completely voluntary, and while there is no additional pay, you will be provided with training and a CPR/AED/First Aid certification through the Red Cross. Building Marshal’s will be tasked with assisting with building evacuations in case of an emergency, as well as acting as an extra pair of eyes to spot safety hazards before they can cause injury. There will be multiple Building Marshal’s assigned to each building to allow for coverage even when someone is out sick, on vacation, or traveling for work. Building Marshals will:

  • Be issued a backpack that contains a safety reflective vest, hard hat, binder with emergency operation tips and processes, and a standard first aid kit.
  • Be given CPR/AED/First Aid training by a certified Red Cross instructor
  • Be given training on how to use and where to find Stryker chairs
  • Be responsible to assist with evacuations in the event of the emergency
  • Report to Safety & Security when they observe safety hazards in their areas (lights that are out, exposed wires, AEDs/fire extinguishers that appear tampered with
  • Be physically able to assist persons that require said assistance during evacuations 

If you are interested in becoming a Building Marshal, please copy and paste the prompts below and answer all in an email your to gcranson@shoreline.edu

  1. First and Last Name:
  2. Shoreline Email Address:
  3. Building and Office Number:
  4. What days and times are you physically on campus?
  5. Are you willing to be the Building Marshal for a building other than your own if needed?
  6. Are you able to perform CPR, utilize a Stryker chair to evacuate those with mobility issues, and assist with other evacuation processes?”

Spring Enrollment is Up!

Dear Colleagues,   

The PIE (Planning & Institutional Effectiveness) Office provides data tools to help our college community track enrollments, which is especially important since one of the Presidental’s goals is to improve targeted enrollments in 2022-2024. 

10th Day Enrollment Report 

Last quarter, PIE started sending out a 10th-day quarterly enrollment report to campus.  Please review this quarter’s 10th day enrollment report.  The 10th day was on April 14th. (Due to data constraints related to the ransomware incident, comparisons in this quarter’s report are limited to select breakdowns where data is available.)   

Great news! Spring enrollments have increased for the first time in five years!!  

Daily Enrollment Report 

Also, since the Report Server is still unavailable due to the ransomware incident, Daily Enrollment Reporting now can be found on the PIE Team’s Sharepoint site here. That same link also is available on the Shoreline Support Center > Employees >  Daily Enrollment Report.

The Daily Enrollment Report is a snapshot of current quarterly student enrollment. The top file in the folder ( 0_CURRENT_Daily Enrollment Report_Comparison_Spring 2023) is updated with the most recent numbers available; prior daily reports are archived in that folder too. Enrollment as of Friday, March 17, 2023 (the last day prior to the ransomware incident) and final numbers from last year (Spring 2022) are provided for comparison.  

Sincerely,  

Your data friends @ PIE:

Campus Updates 4/21/23

Good morning, folks—this one will be a short intro on my end. 

Ransomware and our recovery project are of course the bulk of everyone’s work these days. It’s great to see Wi-Fi coming back online, and lots of other campus improvements as well. We are still waiting for info from DELL on their recovery efforts but will report that as soon as we have it. Of course, again big thanks to TSS who have moved us along in the recovery process much faster than what I have heard from other institutions in similar situations. 

While busy this week, I was able to make some events and community connections that I think will both assist the college as we move forward, and that also highlight the great work already happening here. Tenzin Tsundue was on campus last week reading from his new book “Nowhere to Call Home.” The presentation included a bit of Tibetan history, beautiful poetry, and inspiring words and camaraderie. Thank you so much to Dr. King, and team for hosting this wonderful speaker. 

On Sunday, Samira Pardanani and I met with members of the Nepal Seattle Society. We are so pleased language and culture classes are offered on our campus, and look forward to future partnerships aiming to preserve culture for our Nepalese community 

Finally, I had the opportunity to meet with the North Urban Human Services Alliance. I learned a bit about their vision, and what they offer to the community. We discussed the importance of their work on areas of retention for our students, and ways we might work together in the future. I will be bringing some folks together to discuss possibilities with them so if that’s your area of interest please let us know. 

In other news, I was thinking the other day that sadly I have not advanced my personal gardening projects here at all. I am wondering how folks are doing on theirs and what April crops look like so far? Let me know! 

Have a great weekend! 

Best, 

Jack
