Dear Campus Community,

I am writing to provide an update about some important transitions in our Outreach and Recruitment (O & R) team. This message is important to the entire campus as the O & R team interacts with all facets of the campus community. The team, reporting to Chippi Bello (Dean of Access, Advising & AANAPISI) recently lost Inez Olive (Director, O & R), and Freddy Vega (Associate Director, O & R) recently resigned. Freddy’s last day with the College will be Aug. 31.  

As many at the College are aware, it is vitally important that we keep this team moving toward our goals of reaching a broader and more diverse student audience that previous Director Inez Olive was working on. To that end, we’ve named two individuals to support leadership in this area through December 2022.

• Lianne Almughirah (Director, International Student Services and Admissions) has been named interim director to support O & R with strategic leadership, setting targets, goal setting, and providing mechanisms to report on the success of strategies. She will report to Dean Bello. Lianne and Chippi will work together to update our local partner leaders like the Shoreline School District. 

• Amy Stapleton has been named Associate Director to manage the day-to-day office operations, manage the two-remaining staff, assist in further hiring of full-time recruiters, and continue as our 1^st outreach recruiter to high schools and our community. Any college-related questions related to O & R can be directed to Amy Stapleton. 

Additionally, the focus for the remaining team and work will include:

• Katie Rousso will continue as our 2^nd outreach recruiter with an emphasis on Shoreline School District high school career technical students and transfer interest students.

• Steve Marshall will continue to provide assessment and intake of interested students, use of Salesforce, primary student communications contact (via web and Rave), and continuous support to the team and enrollment services.
• We are in the final stages of hiring for the position of 3^rd (adult populations) outreach recruiter. Soon to be announced.

Freddy Vega’s original #4 outreach recruiter position (parallel to Katie’s) was to support high school career-technical and transfer interest students. He also assisted many of our Spanish-speaking populations. His position will post for recruitment in the next two weeks. 

As we continue to hire within the team and continue to recruit and enroll new students, Dean Bello will be working on the new posting for permanent leadership of the O & R area. This position is expected to be posted and recruited in the fall quarter, with an expected start in the early winter quarter.

Thank you all for your patience with these transitions. 

Phillip J. King, Ed.D.

Vice President for Student Learning, Equity, and Success

Effective August 1, 2022, forward, the Technology Support Services (TSS) Office will report to Bob Williamson in his role as acting Vice President for Business & Administrative Services. This change aligns the technological services of the College with Shoreline’s overall administrative operations. The same ticketing request process currently used to access TSS will remain unchanged. 

Acting TSS Director Gavin Smith will continue to attend Executive Team strategy sessions and other related meetings.  

“I look forward to working with the TSS team as Shoreline continues to enhance its technology and services, integrates technology into the design and construction of the new buildings coming online, and engages with the College’s overall strategic planning process.” Acting VP Williamson said. 

If you have questions or concerns regarding this change, please contact your supervisor.  

The hiring committee held final interviews during the week of June 24th, 2022, for the Dean of Access and Advising. A final decision was made to offer the position to Chippi Bello. At the time of the offer, Ms. Bello held the role of director for the College’s AANAPISI grant.

Chitpasong Bello, affectionately known as Chippi, has more than 25 years of higher education experience in the private and public sectors, as well as community colleges and four-year institutions. She was previously an Associate Dean of Financial Aid at Clark College where she oversaw veterans services, student employment, scholarships, financial aid, and workforce education services. 

Currently, Chippi is the Director of the AANAPISI project and Acting Financial Aid Director at Shoreline. She comes to Shoreline with not only a wealth of experience in higher education – especially in the areas mentioned above – but also with personal experiences that help her see students’ perspectives. She is a proud refugee from the country of Laos, where her family escaped in the early 1980s. They faced many challenges as United States immigrants, and Chippi recognizes those challenges as privileges to help others. 

The College will begin immediate recruitment for the new director for the AANAPISI program.

We are happy to announce MiSun Bishop will be joining Shoreline on August 16th as the new Director of the Student Learning Center. MiSun Bishop is a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Rhetoric and Composition program at the University of Washington where she also teaches undergraduate writing. She researches how discourses of access, disability, literacy, and identity construct various writing ecologies. She has worked in writing centers both as a tutor and director for eight years. She enjoys shark documentaries and lives with her fiancé and two very mellow senior cats.
