Cast Your Vote to Name the College

April 8, 2025 by Leave a Comment

Over the past few months, we’ve discussed the possibility of changing our name from Shoreline Community College to Shoreline College. This has come up in meetings and conversations across campus, and we’ve appreciated the thoughtful feedback so many of you have already shared.

A college’s name is more than a title—it reflects our identity, our mission, and the direction we’re heading. As we consider this potential change, we want to be sure that it reflects who we are and who we aspire to be.

Many colleges across the state and country have made similar updates to better reflect their identity and offerings. But a change like this is significant, and it’s essential that we consider it carefully. This is not a decision we take lightly, and your voice is essential to the process.

We’ve put together a brief survey that outlines some of the key reasons people support or oppose the change. We hope you’ll take a few minutes to review these perspectives and share your thoughts.

Click here to view the survey and cast your vote. 

Please submit your response by 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 24, 2025.

Mark Your Calendars – Commencement is Coming!

April 3, 2025 by Leave a Comment

With spring quarter starting this week, we’re excited to begin sharing information about Commencement! 

As a campus community, we recognize Commencement as the culmination of years of hard work by our students and we are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate this achievement with them. 

This year’s Commencement ceremony will take place on Friday, June 20, 2025  

  • WHEN: 2:00 p.m. 
  • WHERE: Gym (building 3000)  

The ceremony will also be live streamed for those who are unable to attend in person. 

As you can imagine, Commencement is a considerable undertaking, and help is needed to ensure its success. 

Staff and faculty are encouraged to participate in a variety of different capacities, including set-up/clean-up, ushers, and venue monitors. Faculty are also encouraged to walk in the processional and to sit with students to support them as they walk across the stage. More information, including how to sign up, will be coming soon. 

Supervisors are encouraged to support staff requests (where viable) to potentially shift their work schedules to support Shoreline Commencement. The Executive Team has approved the closure of offices to the public on the afternoon of the 20th to further encourage staff to participate or attend. More details regarding this closure are forthcoming. 

Is there a student or faculty member that should be recognized for their contributions, growth, or positive impact? We invite you to nominate a graduating student for the Shoreline Student Service Award, or a graduating student or faculty member to serve as the Shoreline Commencement speaker. Self-nominations are welcome! Nominations may be submitted using this form and should be received by April 9, 2025. 

For more information about the ceremony, please visit the Commencement website. If you have any questions, please e-mail commencement@shoreline.edu.

February is American Heart Month

February 12, 2025 by Leave a Comment

American Heart Month is a time to raise awareness about heart conditions in America.

What is Heart Disease?

Heart Disease may include a variety of heart-related irregularities, such as coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, congenital heart defects, and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). People may have strokes due to problems with their heart and any number of other symptoms; this is not a one-size-fits-all disease. Symptoms of heart disease can range from chest pain to jaw pain, to coldness in the extremities or more. 

Heart Conditions in the Workplace and Classroom

While heart disease is often physically non-apparent, it can significantly impair daily life. For many individuals living with these conditions, the challenges extend beyond the physical. Research shows that 88% of employees with invisible disabilities choose not to disclose it at work to avoid stigma and discrimination. Unfortunately, this often results in social isolation, reduced productivity, and fewer opportunities for career advancement.

By offering accommodations to employees and students we can help ensure that people living with heart disease are not held back from achieving their potential, both personally and professionally. For more information about requesting employment accommodations at Shoreline, contact Human Resources at scchr@shoreline.edu. Students who may need accommodations in the classroom may reach out to Student Accessibility Services (SAS) at sas@shoreline.edu. 

Risk Factors

Heart disease can have many causes and can affect anyone at any stage of life. If you are interested in learning more about risk factors and what you can do to maintain heart health, talk to a medical provider. If you need assistance finding a medical provider talk to your insurance provider. If you need assistance becoming insured talk to your employer or find a medical provider. 

Awareness

Let’s take action this February by wearing red, learning more about heart disease, and supporting those in our community who live with it every day. Every body is different. If you are concerned about potential heart disease, seek out medical advice as soon as possible.

Resources 

How are we doing?

Please submit feedback about the information that the Accessibility Advisory Committee shares to Miranda Levy via email at mlevy@shoreline.edu so that the committee can review together and serve the campus community better.

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.
