Opening Week, and especially the all-campus meeting, set the tone for the academic year, so the activities of the week are very important to us all.

Opening Week can help us prepare for change, bring creativity and energy to our work, and serve our students even better.  College Council has approved this call for faculty, staff and administrators who want to help plan Opening Week 2006. The group will work this spring with Interim President Lambert and the PLT to choose a theme and framework and fine-tune logistics for the all-campus meeting, professional development/training, and other activities of the week. In the summer, the group (those who are available) will work with the incoming president (should the search prove successful) and finish the planning for Opening Week.

This group will also give some thought to the Professional Development Day for winter quarter, January 5, 2007. The group needs solid representation from all the constituencies and divisions; it will need to meet two to three times this quarter.

MESSAGE FROM VP BRANDT
Re; PUB RENOVATION UPDATE

In 2004-2005 the Legislature approved a COP (Certificate of Participation) of $15,000,000 to renovate the PUB at Shoreline Community College.  The renovation must be repaid using locally generated funds that are not part of the College’s regular state allocation, tuition or class fees. Capital funds approved for this project cannot be used for operations or for any other project.  This is a “stand alone” approval project including the special use permit from the City of Shoreline for construction.  For several years the students have been assessed themselves a PUB renovation fee to make this project possible.  Many years ago and the college had attempted this project, but was not successful through the State System capital request process. > More

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Re; Professor Ken LaFountaine

On Monday morning, April 24th, at 4:45 am, a great friend and colleague of the College passed away at his home.  Ken LaFountaine, professor of Native American Studies, was a revered and beloved member of the Shoreline Community College family, and it is with great sadness that we announce his passing.  A memorial service will be held to commemorate his life on Friday, April 28th at 1:00 pm in the SCC Gym.  A reception will follow at 4:00 pm in the PUB. Please join me in remembering the many contributions this great man made to this College during his years of service.

Dr. Andrea Rye, VP of Student Services and former Dean of the Intra-American Studies & Social Sciences division notes, "Ken has been a major force in the establishment and continued development of the Intra-American Studies program at Shoreline Community College, not only in American Indian Studies but Ethnic and Women's Studies as well.  He was a member of the IAS division during its early stages of development and has created and taught courses in History and Multicultural Studies.  His many contributions were instrumental in the established reputation that Shoreline Community College has maintained over the years as a Center of Excellence in Multicultural, American Indian, African and African American, Latino/a, Asian and Pacific Islander and Women's Studies."

On Monday morning, April 24th, at 4:45 am, a great friend and colleague of the College passed away at his home.  Ken LaFountaine, professor of Native American Studies, was a revered and beloved member of the Shoreline Community College family, and it is with great sadness that we announce his passing.  A memorial service will be held to commemorate his life on Friday, April 28th at 1:00 pm in the SCC Gym.  A reception will follow at 4:00 pm in the PUB. Please join me in remembering the many contributions this great man made to this College during his years of service.

Dr. Andrea Rye, VP of Student Services and former Dean of the Intra-American Studies & Social Sciences division notes, "Ken has been a major force in the establishment and continued development of the Intra-American Studies program at Shoreline Community College, not only in American Indian Studies but Ethnic and Women's Studies as well.  He was a member of the IAS division during its early stages of development and has created and taught courses in History and Multicultural Studies.  His many contributions were instrumental in the established reputation that Shoreline Community College has maintained over the years as a Center of Excellence in Multicultural, American Indian, African and African American, Latino/a, Asian and Pacific Islander and Women's Studies."

OPENING WEEK 2006
Friday, September 22 - Wednesday, September 27
Call for Opening Week Planning Committee Members

Opening Week, and especially the all-campus meeting, set the tone for the academic year, so the activities of the week are very important to us all. We are in a time of transition and challenge, and still will be next year. Opening Week can help us prepare for change, bring creativity and energy to our work, and serve our students even better.  College Council has approved this call for faculty, staff and administrators who want to help plan Opening Week 2006. The group will work this spring with Interim President Lambert and the PLT to choose a theme and framework and fine-tune logistics for the all-campus meeting, professional development/training, and other activities of the week. In the summer, the group (those who are available) will work with the incoming president (should the search prove successful) and finish the planning for Opening Week.

This group will also give some thought to the Professional Development Day for winter quarter, January 5, 2007. The group needs solid representation from all the constituencies and divisions; it will need to meet two to three times this quarter. If you are interested in serving on the Opening Week Committee, please respond to Pam Dusenberry at x4626 or pdusenbe@shoreline.edu.

MESSAGE FROM VP BRANDT
Re; PUB RENOVATION UPDATE

In 2004-2005 the Legislature approved a COP (Certificate of Participation) of $15,000,000 to renovate the PUB at Shoreline Community College.  The renovation must be repaid using locally generated funds that are not part of the College’s regular state allocation, tuition or class fees. Capital funds approved for this project cannot be used for operations or for any other project.  This is a “stand alone” approval project including the special use permit from the City of Shoreline for construction.  For several years the students have been assessed themselves a PUB renovation fee to make this project possible.  Many years ago and the college had attempted this project, but was not successful through the State System capital request process. > More

For more information, contact Diana Knauf at dknauf@shoreline.edu .

TEMPLATES FOR MEETING AGENDAS AND NOTES
One way to lessen the burden of meetings may be to start using templates for meeting agendas and minute-taking.  PLT is looking at many ways to juggle minute-taking responsibilities for all campus meetings, coupled with the need to keep accurate agendas, minutes or notes (which, for our own protection, should also be approved by the group for which the minutes are taken). Choose an agenda template and a minutes template which are now available on the intranet by clicking "Forms" on the menu to the left.  These templates are available only if you wish to use them, but the idea is to offer a standard format which may ease the assignment of note taking for those members of committees who are called upon to take notes.  This could apply, for instance, in a briefly formed task force or a long-standing meeting where no formal secretarial help is assigned.  Thanks to the College Council for providing the idea that these templates be offered as a campus resource! If you have questions, please contact Michele Foley at mfoley@shoreline.edu .

***** PREVIOUS ANNOUNCEMENTS *****

OPENING WEEK 2006
Friday, September 22 - Wednesday, September 27
Call for Opening Week Planning Committee Members

Opening Week, and especially the all-campus meeting, set the tone for the academic year, so the activities of the week are very important to us all. We are in a time of transition and challenge, and still will be next year. Opening Week can help us prepare for change, bring creativity and energy to our work, and serve our students even better.  College Council has approved this call for faculty, staff and administrators who want to help plan Opening Week 2006. The group will work this spring with Interim President Lambert and the PLT to choose a theme and framework and fine-tune logistics for the all-campus meeting, professional development/training, and other activities of the week. In the summer, the group (those who are available) will work with the incoming president (should the search prove successful) and finish the planning for Opening Week.

This group will also give some thought to the Professional Development Day for winter quarter, January 5, 2007. The group needs solid representation from all the constituencies and divisions; it will need to meet two to three times this quarter. If you are interested in serving on the Opening Week Committee, please respond to Pam Dusenberry at x4626 or pdusenbe@shoreline.edu.

MESSAGE FROM VP BRANDT
Re; PUB RENOVATION UPDATE

In 2004-2005 the Legislature approved a COP (Certificate of Participation) of $15,000,000 to renovate the PUB at Shoreline Community College.  The renovation must be repaid using locally generated funds that are not part of the College’s regular state allocation, tuition or class fees. Capital funds approved for this project cannot be used for operations or for any other project.  This is a “stand alone” approval project including the special use permit from the City of Shoreline for construction.  For several years the students have been assessed themselves a PUB renovation fee to make this project possible.  Many years ago and the college had attempted this project, but was not successful through the State System capital request process. > More

SAVE THE DATE - FIRST FRIDAY FILM SERIES 10TH ANNIVERSARY!
Friday, May 5 at 4:30 pm, Room 1522

Please mark your calendars to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the First Friday Film Series and to thank our film coordinator, Dorie Warbington, who will be stepping down after May.  We have asked Dorie to pick her favorite film of the last ten years to show at this special First Friday. The usual delicious pizza, beverages and salad will be available at the (still!) remarkable low cost of $5.00. There might even be cake! For more information, contact Diana Knauf at dknauf@shoreline.edu .

TEMPLATES FOR MEETING AGENDAS AND NOTES
One way to lessen the burden of meetings may be to start using templates for meeting agendas and minute-taking.  PLT is looking at many ways to juggle minute-taking responsibilities for all campus meetings, coupled with the need to keep accurate agendas, minutes or notes (which, for our own protection, should also be approved by the group for which the minutes are taken). Choose an agenda template and a minutes template which are now available on the intranet by clicking "Forms" on the menu to the left.  These templates are available only if you wish to use them, but the idea is to offer a standard format which may ease the assignment of note taking for those members of committees who are called upon to take notes.  This could apply, for instance, in a briefly formed task force or a long-standing meeting where no formal secretarial help is assigned.  Thanks to the College Council for providing the idea that these templates be offered as a campus resource! If you have questions, please contact Michele Foley at mfoley@shoreline.edu .
