A message from President Roberts about Fall Convocation and Opening Week

September 13, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Dear Colleagues,

As you read in the letter you recently received, Fall Convocation and Opening Week is a time for our campus community to prepare ourselves to welcome students for the new academic year.

I urge each of you to make time to attend Fall Convocation on Wednesday, September 14 (8:00 a.m. – 3:45 p.m.). We begin our day in the Theater, building 1600. We have a full day of learning and interaction lined up for you that you won’t want to miss!

To be prepared for the afternoon discussion about Mindset, please remember to read the online article: Mindset by Carol Dweck – Summary.

For the latest Opening Week 2016 schedule and professional learning sessions, please visit www.shoreline.edu/openingweek.

As we start another year together, I look forward to seeing you at our Fall Convocation!

With warm regards,
Cheryl

Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.

Opening Week Call for Proposals

July 19, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Dear Colleagues,

Planning for Opening Week is well underway and it will include concurrent professional learning sessions for all employees. Based on feedback we received from Yvonne Ortiz, our AVID for Higher Education Coach, the theme for Opening Week will be how to support learners in building their student identity. In your work, you may provide such support in a variety of different ways:  ensuring access for all students, fostering community between students, helping students navigate their pathway from school to career, or enhancing students’ self-awareness and confidence.

If you would like to share your practices and experiences related to this topic – or just provide updates or information from your area – please consider submitting a proposal for a concurrent session during opening week. We will ask each presenter to hold each session twice so that attendees can minimize conflicts. The available presentation times are:

Friday, Sept. 16th:  10:30am – 12:00pm
Friday, Sept. 16th:  1:00 – 2:30pm
Monday, Sept. 19th:  10:30am – 12:00pm
Monday, Sept. 19th:  1:00 – 2:30pm

Please submit a proposal (not more than a paragraph) for your concurrent session presentation, workshop or facilitated conversation, including your name, a title for the session, your preferred session times, and what kind of room you would need to Bayta Maring (bmaring@shoreline.edu) by August 1st.

Thank you!

I am looking forward to an exciting and meaningful time together for Fall Convocation! Please mark your calendar for an entire day of gathering and learning on September 14 and other professional learning events September 15-20. Fall Convocation and Opening Week will culminate with the first day of classes on September 21, 2016!

I want to thank the Fall Convocation group for their input and great ideas regarding Fall Convocation and Opening Week. We have great suggestions for professional learning opportunities at concurrent sessions on September 16th and 19th. Yvonne Ortiz of Avid for Higher Education will inspire us on September 16; Nature Walks and Construction project walkabouts will keep us well informed and, of course, welcoming our new employees and students is a top priority!
