HOW THE SOY SAUCE WAS BOTTLED

HIRING FREEZE LIFTED
Message from the Budget Committee
In April of this year the President's Leadership Team (PLT) asked for input from the Budget Committee regarding lifting the hiring freeze imposed earlier this school year.  After discussions regarding the financial implications, needs of the college, and the logistics of hiring permanent replacements, the Budget Committee recommended that the hiring freeze only be lifted on pre-existing positions.  Some of those positions had been filled on a temporary and/or interim basis while others had been left vacant.  It has come to the Budget Committee's attention that while the PLT accepted this recommendation and began the process, this was never communicated to the college community.  We are now remedying this oversight.

In order to avoid any more miscommunication, the campus community should also be aware that the Budget Committee has been asked by the PLT to discuss the pros and cons regarding lifting the freeze further by creating a new safety and security position. Please feel free to contact Bob Francis, bfrancis@shoreline.edu , or any of the other members of the Budget Committee.

CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS
The College, through the leadership of Ballard Chamber of Commerce member John Backes, is a sponsor of the Ballard Seafood Fest.  Their poster asks, "Have you been smoked?"  You know it will be a great time for all those involved.  The organizers are looking for volunteers to work at various stations including the Information Booth, the Salmon BBQ, Appreciation Stations, and more.  Please email Joanne Orsucci at info@ballardchamber.com or call (206) 789-6064 to sign up.

CHANGE IN THE NURSING PROGRAM
Beginning July 1, Bette Perman will step down as director of the nursing program.  Georgia Pierce will assume the responsibilities at that time.  Georgia came to SCC in 2004 and became tenured this year.  She will teach in the sixth quarter of the program as well as directing the program.  Thank you to Bette for her many years of service as Director of the Nursing Program.
