Events and News:

Hello all,   

I hope you are doing well.  This week has been unremarkable on my end and more straightforward in terms of workload etc.  Busy week as usual, just not a lot new to report.  I was hoping to have some updates to the state budget situation, but I have not been sent anything, nor have I seen any updates that are available.    

Cheers,  

Jack

Guided Pathways 

This spring, Shoreline is participating in the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE), which will be administered in a random sample of classrooms across the institution. You will receive further information from your Division and from the Guided Pathways team if your class is selected to be part of the survey.  

We will also administer the Community College Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (CCFSSE), an online survey which elicits faculty perceptions of student educational experiences and their own teaching practices.   

We plan to use CCSSE and CCFSSE results to promote institutional improvement, and it is vital that our faculty have a voice in these efforts. The ability to view faculty and student survey responses side-by-side can help us identify areas of strength as well as challenges and areas for improvement.   

To aid in these efforts, your participation in CCFSSE is requested. The Center for Community College Student Engagement (CCCSE) will send faculty members an e-mail link to the online survey, which is to be completed between April 28 and May 31. CCFSSE responses are anonymous, and CCCSE will not provide colleges with information that could result in individual faculty members being identified, so please be completely candid in your responses.  

We appreciate your cooperation and participation in this exciting initiative!

Guided Pathways: 

  The Guided Pathways team is happy to announce that Shoreline will be participating in the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE), a national survey of institutional practices and student behaviors. CCSSE is an initiative of CCCSE at The University of Texas at Austin. CCSSE results will help us better understand our students’ college experiences. Shoreline last participated in the CCSSE in 2017, so this is a chance to re-establish valuable data about our students’ experiences at our college.  

  CCSSE will be administered in a random sample of classes at Shoreline near the middle of Spring term.  Instructors whose classes are sampled will receive specific information via email from the Guided Pathways team. Please be on the lookout for this information. The CCSSE will take approximately 30 minutes of class time to complete. We know that all instructional time is incredibly valuable, and we ask that you support Shoreline’s efforts to enhance our data-driven institutional decision-making processes by contributing your class time to this important survey.  

  Additional information will be shared through all divisional Canvas sites, including materials for instructors to share with students to prepare them to participate in the CCSSE survey.

Events and News 

Looking out the window today and seeing a *slight* ray of Sunshine and hoping it stays.  It’s been a pretty rainy week with two fake springs this year (at least two) – let’s just do this!  It’s spring quarter, right? And today enrollment is up almost 4% compared to last year! 

This has been a pretty busy week with more “run of the mill” items.  At the end of last week, we made some good progress on strategic action team items, worked on the PRFR accreditation report (and proudly, I have all my section drafts completed!), and had a lot of meetings with folks. 

I also met with King County Presidents to discuss “the state of the state”, attended the Presidents’ Alliance on Immigration and International Students policy meeting, met with board members, did a fun tour of the new CECO space (it looks great if you haven’t seen it recently!!), hung out with some of our King County colleagues, and had a couple meetings with potential new partnerships for the college.   

I want to invite you to next week’s state of the budget meeting on Wed., 4/16 at 3:00 PM in Room 1104 or on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83173429202 

This meeting is intended to provide: 

1. An overview of the budget approval process in Washington state. 

2. An overview of the current budget situation in Washington state and the proposals from the House, the Senate, and the Governor. 

3. An understanding of what Shoreline CC has done thus far to prepare for the budget proposal(s). 

4. Answers to questions regarding next steps 

And finally—I am hoping to get some plants in the ground this weekend.  Anyone growing anything fun?  Any suggestions?  Have a great week! 

Cheers, 

Jack

Events and News 

Hey folks,

I can’t believe we are in April already!  First day of the quarter was rainy, but it was great seeing students on campus today. I was in three Ask-Me stations already and had a lot of fun engaging with you folks and with students.   

I was in Arizona last week visiting my family.  My parents just celebrated their 60^th anniversary which was pretty amazing.  We went to this old school Italian restaurant in central Phoenix (celebrating their 50^th actually) and got a private room to make it feel a bit more special – really lovely time there. I was sharing with ET that the restaurant had a lot of signed photographs on the wall of celebrities who had been to the restaurant in the past.  My brother and I were cracking up with some of them while my 18-year-old nephew and 14-year-old niece were like “Who is Mr. Roper?”  Look it up if you are wondering as well.   

Thank you to Joe Mazur who provided some insight on the WA state budget.  Both the House and Senate budgets have proposals that will have a negative impact on the community colleges.  We do not know what that impact will be and certainly we have another month to go of advocacy. I have also been attending semi-weekly meetings with other community college presidents and with Representative Gregerson (she is the vice-chair of the appropriations committee- 33rd leg district). She has been candid about the tough situation she is in. We have been thankful and vigilant in advocating for the community colleges and particularly advocating for staff and faculty.   We will continue to update the campus as we have more information.   

Hope the week goes well for you. 

Cheers, 

Jack

We have exciting news to share!  Last year we submitted our Cedar Invitations to the National Council for Marketing and PR’s annual Paragon Awards.  Community and technical colleges from across the country compete in 47 categories from everything from advertising campaigns, social media posts, print collateral etc. This year there were almost 1600 submissions from 205 schools.  Prior to the conference we were named as a finalist in their Notecard/Invitation category. Finalists then are chosen to take home a gold, silver or bronze award. 

I am proud to announce that last week in New Orleans at the National Conference, we took home a Silver Paragon.  To my knowledge this is the first time since the 90s that Shoreline has won this kind of marketing award.  I want to say a HUGE thank you to Mia Bradshaw for her beautiful design work on the Cedar Invitation and a big congratulations to her for helping to bring a Paragon back to Shoreline! 😊

Business and Administrative Services 

This past Monday, March 24th, the WA House and Senate released their 2025 Supplemental Budget and 2026-2027 Biennial Budget proposals.  

For the 2025 Supplemental Operating Budget Proposal, the House’s budget proposal *does* take back the $28.6 million of the OFM debacle within the current fiscal year. The Senate’s budget proposal does *not* take back the $28.6 million. Shoreline CC’s portion of this $25.8 million is $1,013,000. 

For the 2025-2027 Biennial Budget Proposal, both the House and Senate have reductions in addition to the $28.6 million reduction of the OFM debacle already discussed. For example, for the upcoming FY 2026, the House Budget Proposal is an additional $5 million reduction to SBCTC Funding compared to current FY 2025.  The FY 2026 Senate Budget Proposal has an additional $19 million reduction in SBCTC Funding compared to current FY 2025.  Additionally, the Senate Budget Proposal *does* include a one-day furlough each month over the 24-month biennium while the current House Budget proposal does *not.* 

Because of the various performance funding, earmarks, and proviso funding buckets, the specific dollar impact to Shoreline CC is not known at this time. Further, as the WA Legislature moves through the Legislative Session, the amounts could change significantly from these initial budget proposals. Regardless, both the House and Senate are signaling a budget reduction in State Appropriations to the SBCTC. 

Parent-Child Center (PCC) 

The PCC is holding a Multi-Cultural Appreciation Event for Parents, Children, and PCC Employees to celebrate and learn about each other’s culture and heritage on Wednesday, April 16^th, from 3:00pm to 5:00pm. There will be an activity in each classroom and a potluck for the PCC families.
