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.

The scale and scope of this production are extraordinary, not just for Shoreline Community College, but for any non-profit theater organization in the region. Set construction began last summer and the production as a whole has relied on the contributions of more than 40 students, faculty, and staff members. Read about at Arts News blog.

HTC STUDENTS HOST JAPANESE FESTIVAL

Last week students, faculty and staff stopped by the annual HTC (Hospitality and Tourism College) Japanese Festival to experience a little bit of the ancient and colorful culture. The festival offers visitors a taste of several aspects of the traditions of Japan. Although the students are here for 10 months to improve their English skills, to experience the American culture and to learn about career options, they bring their culture to Shoreline one day each fall. This year seemed to draw the largest crowd in years, said Special Programs Manager Bob Zwingli. (Photo by Neal Colodner)

NEW WEB SITE
The redesigned Shoreline Community College Web site rolled out Tuesday, Oct. 13, with many kudos and comments submitted through the feedback@shoreline.edu e-mail link that is temporarily posted on new home page. By far, the No. 1 comment was, “Where’s the ‘staff’ link?” Good to know that many people access all the good stuff on the college Intranet site through the home page. The Web Work Group wouldn’t do away with such an important link, but the home page is aimed primarily at those new to the college. So, here’s the answer: Bottom right corner of the page and it's now called “Intranet.” It links to the same place as before.

The best way to give your feedback on the new site is by e-mail at feedback@shoreline.edu. Members of the Web Work Group are looking at every response, fixing the things that can be fixed, explaining the explainable and trying to respond to every comment.

SCC, STATE FACING BUDGET CUTS AGAIN
At the first College Council meeting of the 2009-10 academic year, Vice President for Administrative Services Daryl Campbell outlined the full spectrum of potential budget circumstances facing Shoreline Community College.

One thing was clear: It is a very broad spectrum.

“The reports from the (State Board of Community and Technical Colleges) and the state Office of Financial Management indicate that the state revenues continue to slide,” Campbell said at the Oct. 6, 2009 meeting. “How far they slide, combined with a number of other factors, means this college could be facing additional cuts in amounts ranging from about $550,000 to as much as $3.5 million.” Read more at On Campus blog.

THANK YOU, FACULTY AND STAFF
The Advising and Counseling Department would like to thank faculty and staff for their support of the New Orientation and Registration sessions. Without you, it would have been impossible to serve over 1,060 new students. As many of you know, we had to add two sessions to accommodate our new students. Yes, this year we are busting at the seams – what an exciting moment! Many of you adjusted your busy schedules and so graciously pitched in and provided the necessary services. One student commented that the Orientation was very helpful and she felt that the people/staff cared. Again, thanks so much for your commitment to students and student success. We look forward to our continued work together.

SCC MAKES FACEBOOK APPEARANCE
SCC has always seen the value of building community; and now the college is using the latest social networking tools to continue that work -- most recently with Facebook.

Athletics Director Doug Palmer has just completed Facebook sites for the college Athletics and Recreation programs. The recreation site includes information about college exercise classes, fun excursions such as white water rafting and snowboarding trips, and has already drawn 14 fans -- in just a couple of days. The athletics site, which offers team member and game info, has already interested 24 fans.

The Public Information site provides a look into the variety of educational aspects of the college, including Lee Lambert being named one of the top community colleges leaders in the country and a Gates Foundation grant that funds a national pilot program at SCC. Other sites include events, student groups, music technology, eLearning, and the Ray W. Howard Library.

The college is also on Twitter for all you Tweeters.

What is Facebook? From Wikipedia... Facebook is a global social networking website. Users can add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. Additionally, users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region...

FIRST DAY OF CLASS!
Welcome to the first day Fall Quarter 2009. Administrators will be at Ask Me stations across campus along with a central information tent in the main courtyard. One of the FAQs by many students is, "Where's my class?" Ask Me stations will have maps and a list of all classes, room numbers and room changes. Of course, students will have lots of question so please give them a hand or point them to an Ask Me station. Among the many changes students may ask about, here are answers to three ... OK four:
1) Parking - There is no longer a one-day parking pass and the parking pass machines are not being used. Quarterly parking passes are $15 (down from $25, one of the results of the student-approved Sustainable Commuter Options Fee) and available at the bookstore and from FOSS cashiers. Visitors parking is restricted to 30 minutes (down from two hours) and visitors who need to stay longer should get a visitors day pass from the information desk in the Administration (1000) building.
Click here for Parking FAQs
2) Bus passes - Monthly bus passes are available at FOSS cashier windows. Various passes are available, along with a $35 per month subsidy for qualifying students (another result of the student-approved Sustainable Commuter Options Fee). College and Metro Transit officials continue to work toward and ORCA Card solution, perhaps for Winter Quarter 2010.
3) Smoking - Smoking at Shoreline Community College is permitted only in designated smoking areas, otherwise known as the smoking shelters. Following discussion at College Council, the smoking shelters have been moved to parking lot locations on the perimeter of the main campus. An exception is the shelter near the 2000 Building.
Note: Smoking in the former shelter locations is not permitted.
Click here for a map of the new smoking shelter locations.

OPENING WEEK 2009 SCHEDULE SET
The theme for Opening Week 2009 is “Changing Times.”

“It certainly is appropriate, given all the change we’ve seen over the past year,” SCC President Lee Lambert said. On the schedule are the traditional events, including division meetings, an all-campus meeting at the beginning of the week and an all-campus lunch near the end.

The breakout sessions touch on a spectrum of subjects. Some reflect the theme for the week, including “Strategic Plan Prioritization,” and “Teaching Hybrid and Using Technology to Do It.” Others are aimed at building a sense of community and celebrating the people and programs on campus, including a women’s soccer game with snacks provided by the SCC Foundation.

A fun event that is making a return to SCC Opening Week is the “Wear It Again Fashion Show,” coordinated by SCC employee Bonnie Madison. The concept for the event is to show how to shop second-hand stores and still look like a million bucks.

“There are always additions to the schedule as we get closer, but we’ll post those to this link on college Web site and send notices in Day at a Glance,” said Opening Week point person Amy Stapleton, of the Office of Advancement. Read more at On Campus blog. To print the Opening Week schedule.

STUDENTS LEARN VALUE OF GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
Over the last few years people around the world jumped onto the green wagon to save our planet; and over the last year or so they responded to the losses of failed economies. In response to these hardships, more people than ever have turned to planting vegetable gardens to feed their families and their communities. Right now, students at Shoreline Community College are doing their part right here on campus.

This summer, 16 students who are enrolled at Shoreline through the Learning Center North, cleaned out an area near the 2600 building to prepare for planting a vegetable garden – and those veggies will be donated to shelters next spring and summer. Read at On Campus blog.

ARTWORK OF JAMIE ARDEÑA ON EXHIBIT AT ARTXCHANGE
The art of Jamie Ardeña (Student Leadership/Government Program Manager) is being shown in a solo exhibition at ArtXchange Gallery at 512 First Avenue South in Seattle September 3- October 31. LOVE EMPIRE explores the state of Filipino America, the lasting effects of colonization and the emotional constructs in which we imprison ourselves. As a self-taught artist, Ardeña developed his own techniques combining images from vintage travel and anthropology books, found objects, organic materials, and text encased between layers of resin.

"Originally a spoken word artist and poet, I now spend my time in the visual realm of cultural critique. My first forays into the visual arts were in pop art, designing and producing fliers, posters, key chains, t-shirts, and CD covers. I have had the privilege of taking part in the production of three Spoken word CDs, and four anthology publications. Three publications devoted to the Asian (Hapa) Multi-Racial experience with mixed up productions, and another in dedicated to the Filipino American story."

Ardeña has been a Seattle arts organizer since the mid-90s and is co-founder of isangmahal arts kollective in Seattle, the LA Enkanto Kollective, and Mixt Up Productions. His artwork was recently seen in How the Soy Sauce was Bottled at Wing Luke Asian Museum and in Sarii Cycle: A Dialogue of Love at Columbia City Gallery. Ardeña was an Artist in Resident at the NW Asian American Theater in the late 90s. His work has been sold at the Blue Bottle Art Gallery on First Hill in Seattle and the Garde Rail Gallery in Pioneer Square.

The opening reception is from 5 to 8 p.m., Thursday, September 3 and another reception from 5 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, October 1. Read more.
