Dear Community College Colleagues,

As a show of solidarity and support for our friends and colleagues who are working tirelessly to pick up the pieces on the UCC campus, please use the #IamUCC hashtag and share your support via social media. Please encourage your students, staff,and faculty to participate in these efforts and let’s show Umpqua that we all stand with them as they begin the process of healing their campus community.

Please join us in the PUB courtyard (inside the main lobby of the PUB if it’s raining) at 12:30 p.m. on Wed., Oct. 7 for a campus community photo to show our love and support for the students, faculty and staff at Umpqua Community College. A social media campaign using the hashtag #IamUCC was started by the president of Portland Community College, and features photos of campus communities across the nation standing in solidarity with Umpqua – we’d like your help in adding Shoreline’s voice to that show of support. The SLC will have banners and posters made in advance for participants to display for the photo, so no need to bring anything but yourself, your colleagues and your students.
