Opening week is almost here! 

We are planning a complete return-to-campus with predominantly in-person classes, services, and activities available to our students for Fall Quarter 2022.  We are committed to providing an active on-campus experience for students that will foster a sense of belonging in the classes, services, resources, and activities that we offer.  Part of this return to campus initiative will be the return to an in-person Opening Week.  

The theme of the year’s Opening week is “Centering Students and Creating Community”. We need you all here to do that.  

Join us on-campus starting Thursday at 9am on September 22nd with the president’s welcome, service awards, and new employee recognition, followed by a free lunch sponsored by the College foundation, and more. 

• Friday 9/23 Concurrent learning sessions centered on the Pillars of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; Students and Enrollment; Community Building. Start with Coffee with the president in the library, attend some of the planned sessions, then join colleagues for lawn games and activities in the courtyard while you eat your lunch – watch for flying giveaways! Follow lunch with even more wonderful sessions. 

• Monday 9/26 The president will be hosting another coffee connection before you have division and department meetings. Lunch and connect this day will feature an open house tour of campus services such as the Gender Equity Center, Career Center, Student Learning Centers, and more. Turn in a passport to be entered into a prize drawing for some Shoreline swag. 

You’ll then finish opening week on Tuesday 9/27 with additional training opportunities and faculty specific meetings. 

You can see these and other events on the opening week SharePoint site: Opening Week 2022 – Centering Students & Creating Community. Build your schedule now to take advantage of this event. 

Please be aware that opening week is a mandatory attendance event. Employees who need to request an alternate way to attend opening week activities because of a medical need can do so by contacting HR @ hr@shoreline.edu no later than Wednesday, September 20, 2022.
