Waves of Gratitude- Douglas Haub

Wave of Gratitude to Douglas Haub, Administration, PIE

Douglas has been tremendously helpful with some complex puzzles. He is solution-oriented and a creative problem-solver. There has been more than one occasion when I’ve approached him with a need (“Is there a way to figure out xyz…?” or “What would be an efficient way to accomplish abc?” or “I need this system to collect/provide this information to this other system so that I can do 123”) and he takes it on. He will put in long hours and will test out more than one solution. I am impressed, too, with the laborious investment he has made in continually growing his advanced ctcLink/analyst skills.

Douglas is not a technical “fix-it” guy – he is so much more: he’s a deep thinker and an organizational engineer, looking to build new and better ways for us to be. And he wants others to learn and grow with him. He collaborates so well and earnestly wants to be part of building a better Shoreline. Submitted anonymously.

Mental Health First Aid Training Thursday 12/7/23

November 17, 2023 by Leave a Comment

Free Mental Health First Aid Training Offered at Shoreline Community College!

Shoreline Community College Counseling Center is offering free Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training for our campus community. MHFA is a research-supported international education program developed to teach adults how to recognize and respond to signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges. MHFA is a skills-based course that gives people the tools to assist someone who might be struggling with mental health or substance use challenges and connect them with appropriate support and resources. To date, 2.5 million people across the United States have been trained in MHFA.

Just as CPR helps those without clinical training assist an individual having a heart attack, MHFA prepares participants to interact with a person experiencing a mental health crisis. Mental Health First Aiders learn a 5-step Action Plan that guides them through reaching out and offering appropriate support.

With support from the Counseling Center, this training (valued at $170.00/participant) is FREE to Shoreline Community College employees and students.

Training Details:

We are currently offering a blended training which includes:

• 2-hour, self-paced online training prior to the in-person training and

• 6.5 hour in-person training

This quarter’s in-person training is scheduled for:

Thursday, Dec. 7th, 9:00am-3:30pm

The self-paced online training must be completed prior to attending the in-person training.  You must complete the online and in-person training to become a certified Mental Health First Aider. MHFA certification lasts for 3 years.

Please email Gwyn Hoffman-Robinson at gehoffman@shoreline.edu to register and/or find out more information. Please note registration is limited and a waiting list will be started when capacity is reached. Once registered, details as far as room location, etc. will be shared.

Campus Updates 11/16/23

Events and News 

Hi folks- I hope all are doing well.  

Last week one of the big highlights for me was the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities: Strategic Governance Considerations in a Changing Higher Ed Landscape conference right here in Seattle!  I attended some great presentations and saw several Shoreline folks there as well.  Our Board Chair and Vice-Chair also attended the meetings focused on governance.  I really enjoyed seeing so many of us there having a chance to learn and connect with colleagues. 

This week, Carl (from Mithun) and Stephen (from SSW- our architecture firms) did a presentation on our capital projects with a focus on the new STEAM building to the Associated Student Government (ASG) meeting. While the Board already approved the naming practice for our buildings, I thought giving the students some choice (within the narrowed down/translated terms) would be good.  Sundi reported that the students enjoyed hearing about the updates to the STEAM project and about the new wayfinding initiatives that are planned for the campus.  The students were most excited about Bracken (Fern) as the name for the new STEAM building so we will be adopting that recommendation. Like Cedar, this will be accompanied by the Lushootseed translation. I am very proud of our community for moving this work forward and for including our students! 

This week I also attended the Higher Education Research and Development Institute (West) as a new Board member. The organization is focused on bringing innovative modern technologies in higher education to presidents and chancellors to get feedback on them, and to educate others on the possibilities for their use. It was super interesting, and I am really interested in exploring some of these ideas with the campus. 

In case you missed guest speaker Peter Bacho’s wonderful talk from last week, Rob Berg was kind enough to make a recording of the event which you can find here. 

Lastly, I wanted to give you an update on something that might have been on your mind over the past few days as you have been following the news. This week, a federal government shutdown was averted when the House and the Senate passed a continuing resolution to maintain operating funds without an approved budget in place. We expect the President to sign this week as well, which will confirm the continued operations of federal agencies through at least February 2024.  

How does this impact Shoreline? Between now and February 2024, not at all. Shoreline utilizes several federal grants to maintain some student support services as well as financial aid packages and accesses these funds through a governmental funding drawn-down process throughout the year. If a federal shutdown occurs, this stops the College from being able to draw down funding from closed federal agencies. In preparation for this, by November 17th, Shoreline will have drawn down all federal student aid awards/grants for fall quarter and will be proactively continuing to draw down federal and grant funds throughout the year to ensure any future shutdown will have limited to no impact on our ability to serve students.  

The Executive Team will also continue to closely monitor federal funding actions in the coming months and provide additional updates to campus as they are available. Questions regarding this information can be directed to the Budget Office (sccbudget@shoreline.edu) at any time. 

Enjoy the rest of your week! 

Cheers, 

Jack
