Campus Security Update & Guidelines for Safety 

Dear Colleagues and Students,   

Last night (9/19/22) an attempted car prowl was made to an occupied vehicle in the parking lot near Building 3000 (the Gym). While Shoreline PD continues to investigate, please note that there is no anticipated ongoing threat to campus at this time. 

As we prepare to begin the new academic year, please see the following safety guidelines: 

  • Park in well-lit, high-traffic areas.
    • If you parked further out during the day, consider moving your vehicle closer when working during the evening. 
    • If you feel the need, call the on-duty Campus Security Officer for a security escort to your vehicle after hours. 
  • Report lighting or other safety issues promptly by email to safetycommittee@shoreline.edu at any time.
    • Examples to report include lightbulbs out, shrubbery overgrowing a light, etc. 
  • When arriving early or leaving late, utilize the buddy system whenever possible.
    • Check-in with others in your area to determine who may also be working late so you can walk out together. 
  • Know where the emergency call boxes (hands-free, ADA compliant) are that dial directly to Campus Security 

Current locations:

Summer Fun- Submitted By Wanda Waldrop

While many staff and instructors were away during summer, the 2100 building indulged in an August BBQ! Gary “Fantastic” Fantozzi and Brandy “The Best” Biering shopped and manned the grills for cheeseburgers and hot dogs with all the “fixins”. Students, staff, and instructors along with a few admins enjoyed a meal together in the sunshine. Facilities came too! We also Celebrated Bob Biesledzinski’s retirement with a yummy cake! It was a beautiful day, and the food was delish! We used the opportunity to build more comradery and had a few laughs. Can’t wait for the next one!

Air Quality at Shoreline CC

Good Morning All,

As we enter another week with mixed air quality across the Puget Sound area, employees are encouraged to use the following safety precautions while working on-campus:

  1. Keep indoor air clean by keeping windows and doors closed.
  2. Utilize fans to help circulate clean air inside.
  3. When possible limit or avoid time outdoors until the air quality improves.  

Please note that employees sensitive to air quality may request to use leave (sick, vacation, etc) as needed. As a reference, you can review current information on air quality index anytime online at https://www.airnow.gov/.

Other questions? Please feel free to contact HR at hr@shoreline.edu .

Thank you,

If you have some time to spare, whether 30 minutes or 4 hours, please consider signing up as a volunteer!
