Campus Updates 8/29/24

Events and News 

Hey folks hope all is well!  I was out last week visiting beautiful Banff, Alberta Canada.  I had never been there before, and WOW- is it beautiful!  At times I felt like I was on another planet.  I would say it was a bit tough during “tourist season” with so many other people around and on trails the same time we were, but we found ways of finding some quieter spaces.   

Since I just got back Monday, a lot of my time has been spent playing catch-up from the mountain of emails, as well as completing some required trainings. I did have a great meeting Wednesday with Dr David May, College President for Bellevue College.  He got a tour of campus (and was very impressed with our Cedar building facilities as well as with both our auto programs and leaders (Rashawn and Gary most notably!).  We were chatting about some potential partnering cross-college—as I often say- keep on the lookout! 

Cheers, 

Jack

Campus Updates 8/15/2024

Events and News 

This was a really fun week at SCC!  Several great planning meetings and meetings with partners around upcoming projects.  More updates as these become closer to launch. 

One event we took part in was the 50+ employees and family members who spent time together seeing the Seattle Mariners play the Detroit Tigers at the T-Mobile Center. Mitch Haniger hit a game-ending three-run double, and the Mariners triumphed 4-3! It was great seeing folks outside of work. 
 
Thanks so much to our awesome donors and the Shoreline Community College Foundation for providing this opportunity for us to spend meaningful and fun time together outside of work.   

We also had a great learning outing on Tuesday visiting the Shoreline Historical Museum! Kenneth Doutt and team taught us about some indigenous history and the development of the city. The Miyawaki forest and exhibits were really fun – the SHM team even kindly brought out some historic materials from SCC! Thanks to the 20+ SCC folks who spent some time together to learn about our city. 

Cheers, 

Jack
