Created as part of the SHARE Screenwriting Program, these short films offer a glimpse into the thoughts, struggles, and triumphs of individuals navigating incarceration.

Following the screening, there will be a discussion with SHARE’s founder Lindy Boustedt and a panel of guests.

This interactive session will delve deeper into the creative process behind the films, the impact of storytelling on rehabilitation, and the importance of providing avenues for expression to incarcerated youth.

Whether you’re a film enthusiast, advocate for juvenile justice reform, or simply curious about the power of art to inspire change, this event promises to be an enlightening and uplifting experience. Together, let’s amplify the voices of incarcerated youth and foster a culture of empathy, understanding, and empowerment.

Mark Your Calendars – Commencement is Coming!

A group of students in graduation regalia gathered under an archway of green and yellow balloons.

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.
