Self Defense 101 Workshop

In this class participants will learn techniques for maintaining their stance and footing, escaping from several different grabs, and working as a team with their friends and allies. We will be doing physical drills and practicing movements to help maintain and regain physical autonomy, as well as running through verbal and non-verbal communication strategies to make ourselves and those around us safer and more capable in self-defense situations.

Kiyoshi loves bringing the empowerment of self-defense to everyone who needs it.

This Friday 10/13/23 Catalytic Converter Tagged & Protected Event

Dear Campus Community,

On Friday, October 13th, from 8:00am – 2:00pm, Shoreline Police and Shoreline Community College will be hosting a catalytic converter tagging event. Current students, faculty, and staff of Shoreline Community College can bring one (1) vehicle on a first come first serve basis. You will drop your vehicle off at the check-in tent where your campus affiliation will be verified, a member of our automotive program will retrieve your vehicle to etch the last 6-8 digits of your VIN on the catalytic converter before spraying it with a special brightly colored paint. The etching of the VIN will help police track the owner of the converter should it be stolen and recovered, and both the paint and the etching are a deterrent to thieves as it would make the converter much more difficult to sell.

The parking lot south of Bldg. 2000 will be cordoned off and the only vehicle access allowed will be those taking part in the event, you must enter from the south lot entrance. There will also be Shoreline Police on-site throughout the event who would love to interact with members of the community.

This is a map that shows where to drop the vehicles off for the CatCon event.

While this event is also open to City of Shoreline residents, Shoreline Police handled registration of non-campus community members and the registration quickly filled up. Passenger vehicles only (no box trucks, RVs, high-end sports cars, etc.). No installation of protective shield. Wait times may vary.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at gcranson@shoreline.edu

Respectfully,

Gregory Cranson
