Hello colleagues,

I hope your week is going well. 

I am sad to say that there is nothing exciting to update from the president’s office this week, just continued work on policy development, budget, and planning for the fall. 

Cheers, 

Jack

Mail Services 

As operations and coverage of the Mail Services Department continues among different employees, we need your help as we adjust our mail and package handling and delivery procedures.  

To help complete our mission to timely send and receive interoffice mail, USPS mail, and other carrier packages, please pick up and drop off your items at the Mail Services Office (Room 9100) located at the external loading dock on the ground floor of the PUB 9000 Building. Please do not come to the interior door as the noise levels inside cover up door knocking sounds. 

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time. If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact Joe Mazur, Kimberlee Clark, Aimee Henson, or Gayla Hocker. 

Technology Support Services (TSS) 

Summer Surplus and eWaste Initiative Update: Work progresses to remove and responsibly dispose of outdated equipment across campus. We sincerely appreciate everyone who has reached out to identify surplus items and help coordinate pickups. Your support in this endeavor has been invaluable. 

We are in the final stages of the project, reporting item quantities to the State, and scheduling final pickup appointments. As a result, TSS will temporarily pause any new surplus pickup requests until the current phase is complete. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your continued cooperation and understanding.

Communication and Marketing 

We have bus ads! I am excited to share with you that our bus ads have been deployed and can be found live on buses until at least the end of August (though likely longer).  There are 27 out there in both English AND Spanish, and we have both queens (long horizontal ads in a frame on the side of the bus) and tails (horizontal ads in a frame on the back of a bus).  If you see them, please snap a photo and let me know.  My daughter has already told me that she has seen two different ads go by her camp this week, and a couple other people have mentioned they saw them too!  A big thank you to Mia and Rob for working on their creation, to Damon for putting together our campaign landing pages and to Oscar Arroyo Fuentes for helping us with the translations! 

Foundation 

The Foundation Office will be closed on August 7 and 8 so staff can virtually attend the Washington Advancement and Foundation Leaders (WAFL) training and conference. WAFL is an organization made up of Washington State Community and Technical College foundation and advancement staff. Topics this year are focused on helping foundation staff understand the quickly changing landscape around nonprofit tax law, ensuring equity in scholarship programs, and WA nonprofits and charities registration compliance. If you have a pressing need, please email Wendy (wcoates@shoreline.edu).  

Great News!  

The Shoreline Community College Foundation has received a $10,000 Community Impact Grant from Coastal Community Bank to support students facing basic needs insecurity. This funding will help fund critical services provided by the Benefits Hub.  

Giving Table 2025 – Planning Underway! 

We’re excited to share that planning for our annual signature fundraiser, the Giving Table Luncheon, is officially underway!  Please save the date for Friday, November 7 and join us in raising funds for student success and programs. Faculty and staff play a vital role in this event, and your presence helps create a powerful sense of community – we’d love your support! 

Giving Table sponsorships are off to a strong start. We’ve already secured $23,000 in pledges toward our $50,000 goal, thanks to the incredible generosity of past donors, Board members, and CTE contacts. Their early support is helping us build momentum during a time of significant funding challenges, ensuring students have the resources they need to thrive. If you know of any company or community contacts who may want to be part of this transformative effort, please invite them to the event and connect them with the Foundation at sccfoundation@shoreline.edu. Thank you!

Events and News 

Hello all, I hope you are doing well.

This week has been pretty rote on my end – working on evaluations, policy development, budget work, one on ones, etc. I did meet with a prospective board member with our board chair last Friday, which was really great. 

Last Saturday I attended the Latino Educational Training Institute at Edmonds College. Music, food, community resources, and much celebrating of our diverse community. I even got to hang out with President Singh!  Shoreline College also had a presence at the event, and I had the privilege of observing Lizbeth Agapito & Elle Rivera Soro doing their magic, speaking with parents and families in Spanish, and connecting them to our many wonderful opportunities.  It was awesome! 
 
We also had a productive meeting and tour with President Sabah Randhawafrom and his team from Western Washington University.  We discussed how to strengthen pathways for students who wish to study at WWU. Looking forward to next steps! Thanks to Ryan Aiello, Lianne Almughirah,  Samira Pardanani, and Lucas Rucks for leadership on this first step.  

Come to think of it, this wasn’t such a rote week after all.   

Hope folks are enjoying the weather and the weekend! 

Cheers, 

Jack

Events and News 

Thursday 07/24/2025 from WWU  

Hey folks,  

Hope all are doing well.  I spent much of last week with the presidents from across WA State to discuss various topics, including overall budget items for the immediate future.  It was great to meet with colleagues, but of course many of the challenges discussed were tough at times. 

The rest of the week was mostly catching up on summer projects (working on policies for example).  We had a great meeting on our campus with Dr. Sabah Randhawa and his team from Western Washington University to talk about strengthening our partnership and finding new ways to support students who wish to transfer there.  Keep an eye out for updates.    

Cheers, 

Jack

Hey folks,  

If you get a chance, wish Cat a happy birthday!  It was Wednesday this week.   

Our office has been busy with summer prep work.  On Monday, most of the ET and I spent time organizing our work on policies to bring to campus in the fall.  We are now having policy retreats during the summer to do the initial work so that we can get our governance councils to review and provide feedback.  This week has also been busy with budget work and overall work for the college.  No new partnerships to report on this week.   

Hope all is well. 

Cheers, 

Jack
