Upcoming Roof Repairs

February 7, 2025 by Leave a Comment

Hello Campus Community,

We are set to start the roof project for the campus next week.  This project consists of repairs to building 1000, 2900, 3000, 4000 and 1600.  The schedule is as follows.

  • 2/10/25 – 2/17/25
    • 1000 Building Cupolas – Contractor will be removing and replacing cupolas on roof.  There will be minimal noise and vibration.  No impact to the art in the art gallery.  There is a chance of a slight chemical smell when they install the new Cupolas.  SDS is attached. 
  • 2/18/25 – 2/28/25
    • 2900 roof gravel replacement and perimeter work – Contractor will remove roof gravel, repair roof, and replace gravel.  There will be a slight vibration over walkways with little to no impact within the building.  There will be slight noise and chemical smell.  Parking on the east side of building (close to wall) will be taken offline while gravel is removed.  SDS is attached.    
  • 3/3/25 – 3/14/25
    • 3000 soffit stain work – Contractor will be using a lift and scaffold to apply a stain to the soffit around the building.  They will start on the east side of 3000.  No vehicles can be parked in the parking stalls on the east side of 3000 when they start to apply the stain.  It will take them 1-2 days to complete the work on the NE side of 3000.  SDS is attached.
  • 3/17/25 – 3/28/25
    • 4000 skylight replacement – Contractor will remove existing skylight and replace with new.  There will be noise and chemical smells during this project.  To minimize the impact of dust/sawdust falling within the library, a section inside the 2nd floor will be closed off during the project.  SDS is attached. 
  • 3/31/25 – 4/4/25
    • 1600 PMMA and drain replacement – Contractor will be replacing the roof drainage system.  This will require interior and exterior work.  There will be slight noise and chemical smell.  SDS is attached. 

The contractor will do their best to minimize noise during this roof project.  Facilities will do our best to minimize any impact to the buildings while chemicals are being used.  This schedule could change slightly since much of this work is weather dependent.  We’ll be working with building occupants if any changes occur.  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. 

Thank you for your patience while we complete this project.

Last Chance For ID Cards This Quarter

February 5, 2025 by Leave a Comment

We’re making a pivot from the current system of issuing ID cards, where we have daily hours for the ID Card Machine. We will now have specific event days each quarter.

If you haven’t had a chance to stop by yet, you still have one more chance this winter quarter. Current students, staff, and faculty can get ID cards made from February 10th-12th. Stop by the FOSS Welcome Desk between 8:30-4:30 to pick up a number and get in line to take your photo! 

Please come prepared with your ctcLink number and your Photo ID (such as a drivers license or passport).

If you have any questions please email navigate@shoreline.edu.

FAQs:

  • After next week’s, when will the next ID card event be?
    • The schedule is still being finalized but they will always be a few weeks into each new quarter after classes have started and everyone’s settled into a new routine. The next event will be posted to the calendar on the website and on the ID Card page as soon as the dates are finalized.
  • What happens if I lose my ID card mid quarter?
    • You’ll need to pay a replacement fee to the cashier ($10) and show your receipt when you come to get a new one printed. If you aren’t in a rush, you can come on one of the next quarter’s ID card event days to get a new one. If you need a new card more urgently you can email navigate@shoreline.edu to set up an appointment.
  • What will new staff need to do to get an ID card?
    • If they are not in a rush, they can come to one of the next quarter’s ID card event days and get their photo taken and ID card printed. If they need it sooner they can email navigate@shoreline.edu to set up an appointment.
  • What if the population of students I work with will need an ID card before the next event days?
    • We are starting to connect with a couple groups already to set up days to assist these individual groups, if you feel your students fall into this category and want to touch base, please reach out to navigate@shoreline.edu so we can make a plan.

Incident Report: Hate Speech on Campus

February 3, 2025 by Leave a Comment

Good afternoon, 

This is a difficult message to send, especially after all the hard work and unity we’ve shown during the challenges of the past couple of weeks. On Thursday, January 30th, a staff member was approached in our all-gender bathroom in the 9000 Building and was harassed by a community member who expressed statements that were rooted in hate towards our LGBTQIA+ and immigrant communities. Security was immediately contacted, and the individual was escorted, and issued a verbal no trespass order. Shoreline Police were contacted, but the individual had already left by the time they arrived. 

It’s crucial to call this incident what it is—plain and simple, it’s hate speech. We stand in solidarity with our colleague and reaffirm that hate speech has no place on our campus. This type of hate speech is not in alignment with the mission and values of Shoreline Community College, and we denounce any such acts that we encounter both now and in the future.  We will continue to work with our Safety & Security team on how we can ensure a swift response to incidents like this one.  

We are a college comprised of educators and learners who deeply value one another. Our campus must be a place where everyone can thrive, work, and learn without fear of hate encroaching on our shared environment.  

If you are ever made to feel unsafe by the actions of a community member, please contact Campus Public Safety at (206) 235-5860. Additionally, The Office of DEIA, in collaboration with HR, will be revitalizing our Bias Response Team. This team will be dedicated to reviewing incidents like these, recommending training and college responses that are in alignment with our values and the needs of the SCC community. You are encouraged to report any and all biased incidents using our online reporting form. 

Campus Safety:  

We appreciate the ongoing work of the Office of Safety and Security, and their commitment to being a supportive partner in reporting and addressing bias and incidents of hate. In response to this incident, they will do more frequent monitoring of all-gender restrooms to ensure they are a safe and welcoming space for all. 

Office of DEIA:  

As mentioned before, The Office of DEIA will be convening a regular monthly BIAS response team dedicated to reviewing incidents like these. 

Our Office of DEIA will be working with our State Board Equity Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Officer to create training on how to approach incidents like this one, giving our team the tools needed to better prepare and address hate speech. 

College Community:  

We ask all members of Shoreline Community College to stay aware of their surroundings and actively support efforts to report any observed or known bias.   

Shoreline Community College remains committed to our LGBTQIA+ community, our Latinx/e Community, and all immigrant communities who are a vital part of our diverse campus. 


Employee Resources  
 
As a reminder, here at Shoreline we participate in the Washington State Employee Assistance Program (EAP).  Employees may access services and support at any time through the Employee Assistance Program at 877-313-4455.  All covered employees and their household adult family members have access to crisis counseling and referrals, no matter the time of day and including weekends and holidays.

Shoreline Community College is unwavering in its resolve to create an inclusive, diverse and welcoming community and incidents such as these will not deter us from this important work. We can and will work together to find the best in each other, to bridge our differences, and to treat each other with the respect and kindness that all people deserve.  

If I can be of service to anyone who is impacted by this incident, please know that I am available to you.

Vice President of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility

Miranda Levy Named Director of Student Accessibility Services

January 31, 2025 by Leave a Comment

Dear Campus Community, 

I am pleased to announce that long-term employee Miranda Levy will now carry the title of Director of Student Accessibility Services and report directly to me.  

This change has been made due to a revaluation of the scope and breadth of the work Miranda performs, with acknowledgement of her ongoing role as the subject matter expert for Student Accessibility Services (SAS).

Notably, while Student Accessibility Services will continue to partner with the DEIA Office in shared work supporting our student populations, the SAS unit will rejoin the Students Services Division in alignment with other student-focused service units at the College.

Miranda has worked and volunteered in the disability community for over 20 years. Her goal has always been to ensure that individuals with disabilities feel that they can pursue higher education and employment, if they choose, and that they will be supported. 

Miranda joined the Shoreline community in 2018, and most appreciates the kindness she has felt from colleagues since day one. She appreciates the opportunity to develop relationships with all departments on campus and take part in awareness events. 

Prior to this position, Miranda spent 10 years working at the Northwest ADA Center at the University of Washington, as an Americans with Disability Act Specialist. Miranda has an MA in Rehabilitation Counseling from Western Washington University, is a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and is a Certified ADA Coordinator from the University of Missouri. 

Outside of work, Miranda enjoys spending time with her 10-year-old child and relaxing at home with a book or writing. 

I am grateful for Miranda’s continued leadership while serving at Shoreline and contributing to student success through leadership in meeting our student accessibility needs.   

 Please join me in congratulating Miranda on this change and transition! 
 

Ryan
