This February, Shoreline will be host to the quarterly meeting of the state-wide Research and Planning Commission (RPC). RPC is an organization of the institutional research professionals that provides applied research and analysis for the Washington Association of Community and Technical Colleges (WACTC), collaborates with policy researchers at the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC), and provides professional development for RPC members.

Approximately 50 members of RPC will attend, taking part in a full day of meetings on campus on Thursday, February 4, followed by a half-day business meeting on Friday, February 5. Juliet Scarpa, Assistant Director of Institutional Assessment and Data Management, has organized the event and warns that there will be an impact on parking in the faculty/staff parking lot.

Bayta Maring, Shoreline’s Director of Institutional Assessment and Data Management serves on RPC’s Executive Team. “I am really looking forward to my colleagues coming to Shoreline, seeing our vibrant campus, and learning about our exciting work around student success and strategic planning. It is an honor to host the meeting, and I am so fortunate to have an amazing team helping me put on this event.”

This Wed., Nov. 4, Shoreline’s campus will be hosting the Shoreline Rotary Club meeting from 7-8:30 a.m. About 40 extra cars will be on campus at this time, parking in areas between the PUB lot and the 1300 building. Leave yourself extra time to get around campus and find parking on this day.

This is the first of four weekly meetings the Rotary will be holding on campus through the month of November. They will meet from 7-8:30 a.m. in the PUB Quiet Dining Room (9208) every Wednesday on November 4, 11, 18 and 25. Leave yourself extra time to find parking on these days.
