SCC'S INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS RANKS 34TH IN THE NATION
SCC's International Programs student enrollment was ranked 34th among U.S. community colleges in 2005-06. The Open Doors annual is the premier international education report published by the Institute of International Education.  The report closely monitors national enrollment trends. Enrollment in the previous year put SCC into the top #40 for the first time ever; this year, the College climbed to #34. While the state of Washington saw a 5% increase in its international student population, SCC experienced a 10% increase. According to the report, international students contributed nearly $257 million to the state of Washington; of this amount, SCC international students contributed over $13 million to the state.

International enrollment stabilized nationally after a two year decline following 09/11. Educators have worried about enrollment amidst stringent visa and immigration regulations and competition from other countries wanting to attract international students. In 2005-2006, international students contributed $13.5 billion to the U.S. economy.

SCC COLLEGE ACTIVITIES CALENDAR
Don't forget to check out the College Activities Calendar accessible by clicking on the Calendar button at the top of this page. The Activities Calendar is a handy reference for "things going on around the campus."

STUDENT EMAIL AND E-NEWSLETTER LAUNCHED
Thanks to the work of TSS' Gavin Smith, we have launched a communications system with our current students.  Beginning this week, PIO will send a weekly email that will go to our current students directing them to the Week Ahead e-newsletter.  Students have given us feedback that they simply "don't know what's happening on campus."  Hopefully, this will be means for students to get up-to-date information on key events on campus, critical reminders about registration, and access to resources.  Please be sure that you send PIO information that you wish to go to student using the DAAG Submission form.  If you have questions, please contact Judy Yu at jyu@shoreline.edu.

MEETING ROOM CRUNCH - YOUR HELP NEEDED
The meeting room scheduling crunch is thriving at SCC.  In Building 1000, all three meeting rooms are in constant use, with little time to re-arrange tables, chairs and space for different needs.  Please help us by making sure you have completed a Work Request Form (ext. 4661) and submitted it to Facilities in advance of your meeting.  Work requests can include set-up and take-down on the same form. Noting that you are serving food on the Work Request is much appreciated by the facilities staff because they can place extra trash cans and be alerted to food clean-up. mfoley@shoreline.edu
