Hi folks and happy Thursday. 

This week has been pretty full – had a great donor meeting and a new project is making some movement (more to come), visited with four business students in professor Custis’s class, and welcomed our new Foundation lead April Nilsen.  If you have a moment, come by and say hi to her; she’s on the learning tour!   

Other than that, this week has been straightforward – winding down the PRFR accreditation requirements, a lot of email, and preparing for the ET retreat this summer.  I’ll share more about that in the next couple of weeks.   

Like you, I’ve been thinking a lot about our colleagues and friends in Western Washington who are struggling through the fires. While we’re certainly feeling the effects on our side of the state as well, so many people are facing much more difficult circumstances. I hope you’ve been able to connect with loved ones and that everyone is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. 

Take good care.  

Cheers, 

Jack

Foundation/Advancement/Alumni 

We’re thrilled to announce the hiring of April Nilsen as the new Associate Vice President of Development and Community Engagement / Executive Director of the Foundation! April began her new role at Shoreline College on August 3, 2026. Stop by the Foundation office (Admin 1005) to say hello! 
 
SAVE THE DATE – NOV 6: Mark your calendars for the Shoreline College Foundation’s Annual Giving Table Luncheon on November 6 at 11:30 am. The Main Dining Room will be packed with community leaders, donors, and other friends of the college who are eager to assist in providing access and support for our students. It’s a great opportunity for you to invite people in your networks, advisory committees, and your most caring friends to make a difference for the students you serve.

Guided Pathways 

1. Our Navigate360 Implementation is officially underway! We are focusing first on the CRM side of things, which will primarily serve Recruitment, Communications and Marketing, and new student onboarding.  

2. If your area currently uses Starfish, the team would like to hear from you! As a part of project planning, we are asking areas that currently use Starfish to make two wishlists: one of features you currently have in Starfish that you want to keep in Navigate, and one of things you would like to be able to do that Starfish doesn’t currently do for you. We can’t guarantee that everyone will get everything off their wishlist, but having the wishlist will help us deliver as much as possible in our project planning. Send your wishlists to the Starfish team: cjacques@shoreline.edu and rsohn@shoreline.edu. 

3. Working on the Navigate implementation means that, while we will continue to support Starfish during the transition period, we don’t have as much bandwidth to implement new things in Starfish. However, less bandwidth doesn’t mean NO bandwidth, so if you have something you are looking to be able to do in Starfish, reach out to us so we can talk it over. We might still be able to make it happen, and if we can’t, we can add it to the wishlists.

Hi folks,  

This week was mostly spent with the other presidents in the state at our regular summer get-together.  It was good to meet with folks across the state and share updates.

Shoreline Community College MISSION – Our Purpose 

Shoreline Community College offers accessible, high-quality education and workforce training that empowers students for success. Rooted in our commitment to diversity, equity, and community engagement, we foster an educational environment that contributes to the enrichment of both our local and global communities.

This past week, Shoreline College continued to advance our commitment to student success, equity, accessibility, and community partnership through a number of important initiatives. 

We were proud to celebrate National Disability Independence Day and Disability Pride Month with our annual flag-raising event. Our thanks to Miranda Levy, Director of Student Accessibility Services, for her leadership and unwavering advocacy on behalf of students with disabilities. Her work helps ensure that Shoreline remains a welcoming and accessible community for all. 

We also received exciting news that Shoreline has been awarded an EVOLVE Grant through the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges to support our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion efforts. Through this initiative, we will collaborate with colleagues from Clark College, Clover Park Technical College, Columbia Basin College, Seattle Colleges, Yakima Valley College, and Pierce College to share best practices and advance innovative equity-centered work. Special recognition goes to Vice President Brian Ramos and his team for their leadership in securing this opportunity and positioning Shoreline as a key partner in this statewide effort. 

Our outreach and retention teams also strengthened community relationships through a visit with Centro Cultural Mexicano, where we met with Mariana C. Martinez and learned more about the organization’s impactful work supporting the Latino community. Alongside Brian Ramos, Lizbeth Agapito, Savena Garrett, Jack B., and Elle Rivera Soto, we explored opportunities for future collaboration! 

In addition to these activities, the college continued significant work in several key areas. Teams made continued progress on accreditation planning and preparation, advanced important policy review and development efforts, and engaged in ongoing financial stewardship and budget planning to support the institution’s long-term sustainability. We also met with community partners and stakeholders to explore future projects and partnerships that will expand opportunities for our students and strengthen Shoreline’s impact throughout the region. 

Thank you to everyone whose dedication and collaboration continue to move Shoreline forward. Your work reflects our shared commitment to excellence, inclusion, and service to our community. 

Cheers, 

Jack

Rooted in our commitment to diversity, equity, and community engagement, we foster an educational environment that contributes to the enrichment of both our local and global communities. 

Hey everyone, 

This week has been an extra busy one in the president’s office.   

One highlight was the opportunity to visit Centro Cultural Mexicano yesterday with some members of Shoreline’s outreach and retention team. We learned a tremendous amount and were inspired by Mariana C. Martinez’s vision for collaboration and for uplifting the diverse LatinX community and the broader community we all serve. It was a valuable experience that reinforced the importance of mission-aligned partnerships and community engagement. Thank you to VP Brian Ramos, Lizbeth Agapito, Savena Garrett, Elle Rivera, and Jack B. for their leadership, creativity, and commitment to improving how we serve our students and our community. 

In addition, a significant amount of time this week was devoted to policy and procedure development and review, ongoing budget work, and supporting institutional planning efforts. I also had the privilege of working closely with the amazing team in Human Resources, where I continue to see the incredible work happening behind the scenes to support our employees and strengthen our college community. Thank you to all our HR colleagues for your dedication, expertise, and partnership. 

As always, I remain grateful for the creativity, leadership, and collaboration demonstrated by so many across the college. Every week I see examples of people stepping up, finding solutions, and working together to make Shoreline an even better place for our students and employees. 

Thank you for all you do, and please look for another update next week. 

Cheers, 

Jack

Shoreline Community College MISSION – Our Purpose 

Shoreline Community College offers accessible, high-quality education and workforce training that empowers students for success. Rooted in our commitment to diversity, equity, and community engagement, we foster an educational environment that contributes to the enrichment of both our local and global communities.

Hi folks, 

This week was a great reminder of the power of partnerships, innovation, and continuous learning. 

One of the highlights was helping advance and celebrate Shoreline’s historic Bachelor of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene, offered in partnership with the University of Washington School of Dentistry. We recently recognized the first cohort of students to earn bachelor’s degrees from Shoreline, a significant milestone for both the College and the profession. I could not be more proud of our graduates, faculty, and staff who helped make this achievement possible. For those interested in learning more, you can read this story about the Dental Hygiene graduation.  

I also had the opportunity to share another outstanding Shoreline alumni story. You can read the recent alumni spotlight of Tom Ranken, class of 2023, here. 

A significant portion of my week was spent participating in the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Effective Teaching Institute alongside 23 Shoreline faculty, staff, and administrators. Over three days, we learned about Indigenous history, language, education, tribal consultation, and culturally responsive practices. One of the most impactful experiences was learning about salmon preservation efforts and visiting several tribal facilities, including the Muckleshoot Tribal School, Wellness Center, Behavioral Health Equine Program, and government buildings. I was grateful to participate in these experiences alongside Shoreline colleagues Tsai-En Cheng and Lizbeth Agapito. The Institute provided valuable context for understanding the extraordinary work occurring throughout the Muckleshoot community and reinforced the importance of strengthening our relationships with Tribal nations and communities.  Hope to see YOU there next year 😊  

We were also pleased to welcome Representative Lauren Davis and State Board representative Sam Grant Herriot to Shoreline. Their visit included a tour of the new Bracken Building, which supports our nursing, music, music technology, and mathematics programs, as well as a visit to the Parent Child Center. These visits help us showcase the remarkable work happening across campus while strengthening relationships with partners who support our mission and our students. 

In addition to these community engagement activities, I continued work on budgets, procedure updates to strengthen operational effectiveness and fiscal stewardship, as well as supporting ongoing accreditation planning and documentation efforts that help ensure Shoreline remains focused on continuous improvement and student success! 

Overall, it was a week filled with learning, partnership building, celebrating student and alumni achievement, and moving important College initiatives forward. I continue to be inspired by our employees, students, and community partners and am grateful for the opportunity to serve such an exceptional institution. 

Cheers, 

Jack
