Introducing Aisha Hauser- Acting Vice President of DEIA

June 16, 2023 by Leave a Comment
This is a headshot of Aisha. She is wearing a blue short sleeve shirt and leaning up against a tree trunk.

Aisha Hauser is a self-proclaimed loud talker; both literally and figuratively, and is an accomplished religious educator, facilitator, consultant, author, and advocate of equity and justice. She has been part of the Shoreline community since December 2020 where she took on the role of DEI Trainer bringing workshops and coaching to the faculty and staff.  

“I am excited to take on the Acting VP of DEIA role. I worked closely with Melanie Dixon these past few months, and I’m looking forward to continuing the work started by the DEIA Team. Shoreline is a unique place that has been dedicated to student care and learning, and centering the work of DEIA will help this community more fully realize the potential to serve all who want to access what the college has to offer,” said Hauser about her new role. Her official start date in this role will be July 1, 2023.

Aisha attended Rutgers College of Arts and Sciences and graduated with a degree in Journalism with a minor in Anthropology. She earned her Master of Social Work degree from Hunter College in New York City. Her experience includes curriculum development, community mental health, and facilitating workshops on various topics about race, identity, conflict, difficult conversations, leadership, and empathy. 

In addition to her work as a trainer and facilitator, Aisha is also an accomplished author.  She wrote a groundbreaking book and discussion guide called The Religious Education of Color, and also co-authored a chapter in the book, Centering: Navigating Race, Authenticity, and Power in Ministry Discussion Guide. 

Aisha was born in Egypt, raised in New Jersey and lived in five different states and three different countries, including Colombia. She loves to spend time with her young adult children when they are in town, cook, entertain friends, and travel.

Campus Updates 6/15/23

Events and News 

Did any of you get to the Pride event last week? It was so much fun! There was tasty food, hanging out with staff and students was great, and the band was amazing! Can we please have live music outside every week?!? Gender Equity Center really brought it here! So thankful for this event and for creating this spirit of pride.  

Last week I was also able to attend the retirement event for faculty in the Business and Social Sciences area. I really enjoyed chatting with current and retiring faculty. Great food was eaten, tears were shed, and connections were made. We will miss these folks for sure (though I did tell at least two I’d be bugging them for future projects!!).  

It’s always great to see the hard efforts of our students paying off. I had the pleasure of attending the Music Technology student showcase. The students shared their audio portfolios with such passion for their work, and a deep appreciation for the instruction they received from our faculty. It was really inspiring. I can’t wait for the nursing graduation tonight! 

This past week, in terms of community events, I met with representatives from the Center for Human Services, and the North Urban Human Services Alliance to see if we can provide some new connections to our community, and perhaps with our great counseling center. I also attended Goodwill’s 100th anniversary and met some folks there as well with hopes of connecting us to their great work. 

I hope that you are as excited as I am about the announcement that we will be bringing Black Coffee Northwest, our Shoreline neighbors to campus! As Cat said in a memo this week: Their mission is to provide “proactive and innovative community building through youth leadership development. We do this by integrating creativity, exemplifying excellence, and meeting the needs of the community.”  We love their mission and feel like it is in complete alignment with ours, and we look forward to working with them. 

I hope you all have a great rest of the week, and that finals week isn’t too stressful! See you at graduation! 

Best, 

Jack 

College Council updates 

The PEACE Institute (PEACE is a methodology and not just a name) 

After getting unanimous approval from both College Council and the Executive Team, we are exploring the creation of a PEACE Institute—a space for co-locating, supporting, and elevating BIPOC/QTPOC and other underserved communities. The PEACE Institute would be both a physical space and a methodology that centers those in the margins and creates an ecosystem for underserved communities to thrive by coordinating core programs, resources, and groups, and developing a love-centered space of innovation, connection, and care.  

This was conceptualized by Melanie Dixon (former DEIA VP), Guru Dorje (CECO Director), and Aisha Hauser (Acting DEIA VP) as well as the faculty, staff, and students who shared in an understanding that we are the culmination of the ancestors and are planting seeds for the future generations. The PEACE Institute would co-locate the Multicultural Center, Gender Equity Center, ANNAPISI Center, CECO program, Workforce Education, and Integrated Basic Education Skills and Training (I-BEST) as well as develop future space for a Native Student Center, Latino/a Success Center, Black Student Success Center, Women’s Resource Center, and Community Engagement Center. Critical to this space is an embedded methodology to train, teach, root/ground, and create accountability so this can be a space expressing a PEACE methodology rooted in love and compassion. As a cohesive and collaborative center, this is not just ‘sharing space’ but a community of care focused on those on the margins and bringing that learning to the whole. This is a space for exploration/experimentation, modeling, teaching, learning, to take advantage of the existential opportunity to support student learning, access to college, increase persistence, and enrollment. Now that the concept has been approved through the college’s governance system, next steps would be to engage stakeholders to flesh out details and a formal timeline in summer and fall with the hopes of identifying a space and a move-in plan by winter 2024.

 Accreditation:

  • Area Reviews should be complete by Friday, June 16, 2023 (see multi-year schedule to find all Area Reviews).  
  • We want to improve the Area Review form and process for the next cycle, which starts in September (see timeline). Please give feedback here. Changes, based on the feedback, will be shared during Opening Week. 
  • Area Reviews demonstrate to our accreditors, and ourselves, that the College engages in data-informed planning, assessment, and resource allocation in service to our mission:
