Waves of Gratitude

September 12, 2023 by Leave a Comment

Waves of Gratitude for Melanie Meyer of Health Occupations/PE. For Inclusive Excellence and Student Engagement. It’s not every day that we come across individuals who not only meet the requirements of their roles but transcend them, prioritizing student success. The path to making education more accessible, inclusive, and equitable is challenging, but it’s educators like you who pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future.

Having one of your online courses certified in the Online and Hybrid Quality Course Design Institute is no small feat. Meeting all the Standards focusing on Accessibility, Inclusion, and Equity speaks volumes about your dedication, foresight, and commitment. It’s not just about ticking boxes; it’s about creating an environment where every student, irrespective of their background, abilities, or circumstances, feels valued, heard, and understood.

Thank you, Melanie, for being a beacon of professionalism. Your work embodies what it truly means to focus on student success. May this wave of gratitude remind you of the ripple effect of your impactful contributions. Submitted by Brandon Fryman of eLearning.

Campus Updates 9/8/23

September 8, 2023 by Leave a Comment

Events and News 

Hey folks! Hope you all are doing well.  I just got back this week from vacation.  I was talking to my wife about it, and we realized that it has been about four years since we last went on a one-week vacation together!  Like many of you I am sure with COVID and this year’s challenges it has been hard to be away.  Our pup Agnes joined us and is now internationally famous.   I did do some email while I was gone (of course) but Lori said I was “pretty good” about not checking too much, so that’s something.  Looking forward to seeing everyone soon and sharing our summer adventures. 

As a function of being away and the campus being closed for Labor Day, I don’t have that much to report.  Perhaps the most exciting update this week has to do with a meeting Wendy Coates, and I had with leadership at Goodwill.  I attended their 100-year anniversary celebration a few months ago and met some great folks who have a strong DEI lens and dedication to many of the same issues we do.  Wendy and I spoke with them about possible partnering around areas where we overlap and exploring how we might be able to connect some of their new programs with our offerings at the College to create a more seamless transition between their career training programs and our educational opportunities.  The first meeting went really well, and we will be following up with them next week to discuss next steps.  I will keep you posted! 

Happy to be back and to engage with the Shoreline team. Have a great weekend! 

Best, 

Jack

Foundation and Advancement 

A couple of items from the Foundation this week: 

  1. Thank you to our scholarship readers! We are grateful for your service and time. Thank you for volunteering your time to help donors fund students! 
  1. Welcome back Michelle! After a couple of months’ absence, Michelle is back and as full of energy as ever! Michelle has resumed her duties as Foundation Manager and will be back on campus next week. 
  1. There will be a rededication of a gingko tree for Erin Walker on 9/22 at 4:00 pm in the Courtyard near the Library. Erin was part of our campus community and died several years ago. The tree planted in her honor failed to thrive where it was, so a new tree (in a new spot) will be rededicated.
