"DEATH IS SHORT, MAKE THE MOST OF IT!"  SCC Presents “Eurydice” by Sarah Ruhl 7:30pm, Nov. 19-21 & 2pm, Nov. 22 Love, death and rock and roll take center stage in the Shoreline Community College production of Sarah Ruhl’s award-winning play, a modern adaptation of the classic myth, “Eurydice."  “This is one of the most ambitious projects that the Shoreline Drama Department has ever undertaken. Building off of the buzz that has been steadily growing around the Shoreline theater community, the time seemed right to harness the enthusiasm of the production staff and a new group of eager and talented actors to take on a daring project like this,” says director Jesse Ross.  Read about at Arts News blog.

*************** NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS *****************

STATE BUDGET PROBLEM NOW $2.6 BILLION
As anticipated, the projected hole in the state budget got deeper when officials announced Thursday that the expected deficit is now $2.6 billion.

“As Gov. Gregoire said a week ago, ‘This is dire,’” Shoreline Community College President Lee Lambert said Thursday afternoon, Nov. 19, 2009. “The previous forecast put the problem at $1.8 billion, but most people thought it would slide to at least $2 billion, maybe a little more. This is worse than we expected.”  Read more at On Campus page.

W- COURSE REEVALUATION
As part of the process of converting all SCC MCOs to the online format, the Curriculum Committee is also going to reevaluate all existing SCC W-courses. All W-courses that were approved by the Curriculum Committee prior to April 2007 (when the current W-course criteria were adopted) will be required to resubmit a W-course application by the second to last Curriculum Committee meeting of Fall quarter 2010. Courses that fail to meet this deadline will lose their standing as W-courses. The W-course application form is available for download on the Curriculum Committee Intranet page. If you have any questions, please contact either of the Curriculum Committee co-chairs, Don Christensen or Susan Hoyne. Thanks.

Print out your order form, complete and drop it off in the Foundation office. Your order will be ready for pick up in the Foundation office.

That’s it!  It’s that simple!

PUBLIC ART SCULPTURE PROJECT INSTALLED AROUND CAMPUS
Faculty art instructor Laura Ward and students in her Art 110 class invite the campus community to enjoy their sculpture work, which has been installed around campus and will remain up until the end of the quarter (weather permitting - periodic checks will be made to ensure they are intact). 

The Intro to 3D Design class focuses on creating three-dimensional objects from two-dimensional sketches or images. The pieces have been placed strategically around campus so as not to harm the foliage, grass, or stop the flow of foot traffic.  There are approximately 16 sculptures total and each has a sign with a description of the piece and the student artist's name.  Read more at Arts page.
