The
Year of the Monkey
January 22nd is the start of the new Lunar New Year
(aka Chinese New Year). If you see someone on
Thursday, you might want to say "Gung Hey Fat
Choy!" (Congratulation). The year of the
Monkey is supposed to bring change to the world.
Those born in the year of the Monkey (1944, 1956, 1968,
1980, 1992) are clever, intelligent, good with their
hands, witty and fun-loving.
First
Two Dolphie Awards Recipients: Mark Durfee and Diana
Knauf
President Holly Moore has awarded the
first Dolphie Awards to Mark Durfee, Offset Duplicator
Operator, and Diana Knauf, Professor of
Psychology. Both individuals were surprised by the
announcement that was made at the 40th Anniversary
Celebration, but delighted to receive their awards.
Dr. Moore
noted that Mark is "ever present on campus and has
been a part of the College since the 70s when he was a
student." Mark Durfee said, "There is no place
that is a perfect place to work, but Shoreline Community
College comes close."
Professor Knauf, who was dressed as our
Dolphie mascot, had to remove her Dolphie head in order
to receive her award. Diana participates on many
committees on campus, volunteers as Dolphie at College
events, and was asked by the students to be the 2003
Commencement guest speaker. "She represents the
great spirit of the Dolphin." said President Moore,
"with her positive attitude and wilingness to have
fun."
The Dolphie Awards will be presented each
quarter to those who demonstrate the "spirit of the
Dolphin" at Shoreline Community College.
40th Anniversary Celebration Kicks

all-campus party held in the Grand PUB Ballroom. The room
was decorated with historical artifacts from our 40 years

faculty newsletters, and Shoreline Community College
athletic uniforms. In addition, there were visual
displays, created by the Public Information Office, of
highlights of our past 40 years.  Thanks to our
Shoreline Singers for their wonderful performance and to

College will be home to
a Fullbright Scholar in 2005
The Washington D.C. Council for International
Exchange of Scholars (CIES) has approved the College's
proposal for a Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence
(SIR) in Spring 2005. The Worldwide Fulbright
Scholar-in-Residence Program brings visiting scholars and
professionals from abroad to join the faculty at U.S.
colleges and universities for one semester or one
academic year. Widely considered a prestigious
honor in the international education field, CIES informed
me that Shoreline was only one of a handful of community
colleges selected nationwide and the only community
college recipient in Washington State.
This is
an exciting and dynamic opportunity for the Shoreline
campus community. Numerous partners, including the
Shoreline School District, FACES Project, Shoreline
Rotary Clubs, Washington Consortium for Study Abroad and
Northwest International Education Association joined our
application for the Fulbright SIR.
The
College3s requested country of origin is Panama,
Guatemala or Nicaragua; our requested field of expertise
is Indigenous Peoples/Social Justice,
Globalization/Environment, and/or Immigration with an
overarching emphasis on international
diversity. Efforts are now underway at the
appropriate Fulbright agencies in Central America to
recruit qualified candidates for consideration.
In the
weeks and months ahead, an advisory committee of SCC
faculty, staff and community members will be formed to
assist in planning the 2004-05 Fulbright program.
For more information on the Worldwide Fulbright
Scholar-in-Residence Program, please visit the Fulbright
website at http://www.cies.org/sir/sir.htm#overview
Many thanks to the
numerous staff and faculty who provided input on this
application -- kudos to the Shoreline campus community
HR CORNER
 Wellness Tip of the Week
brought to you by the Wellness Committee
In July 2003 the King County Board of Health
unanimously passed a new mandatory bicycle helmet
regulation. Research has shown that a
regulation such as this can prevent significant
numbers of bicycle-related injuries and deaths as
well as save millions of health care dollars if
every resident of King County wore a helmet when
bicycling. Community attitude and action
are vital components of any public health
endeavor. Therefore, the Public Health
Dept. is asking colleges to educate our campus
about helmet use and to advocate its use. |
ANNOUNCEMENTS
 Smoking Shelters
New smoking shelters are being installed on campus
for the use and convenience of our students and staff.
Smokers will be directed to these 10 locations where
shelters are being installed by Plant Operations. These
shelters, donated by King Couty Metro, will provide
protection from the rain and other weather elements.The
installation of Smoking Shelters was a recommendation
made by the Environmental Committee in 2002. "The
transition will be gradual," states VP of
Administrative Services Beverly Brandt. "We hope our
students and staff will voluntarily use these shelters
this quarter." A map of Smoking Shelter locations
can be downloaded by clicking here.
Be Sure to Renew
Your Locker Assignments by January 30
All employees are asked to renew their
locker assignment at the end of each quarter. A
notice was sent out regarding this before the end of Fall
quarter 2003. This is a reminder that on January
30th, locks will be changed on any faculty locker that
has not been renewed for Winter quarter 2004.
Lockers are reserved for those employees who are using
the fitness facility on a regular basis. If you
have any concerns or questions, please feel free to give
Steve Eskridge a call at ext. 4649.
Services for
Students with Disabilities needs your help
 Please help! The Services for Students
with Disabilities program is missing 10 adjustable
height/wheelchair tables. These are critical to
providing accommodations to students with
disabilities. These tables are expensive and easy
to mistake as classroom/office furniture.
We are hoping to
avoid having to do a room/office search. If you have or
have seen one please call us at extension 4545 and we
will come pick it up 3 no questions asked.
These tables are
approximately 193 X 303. Some are all black with a
lip across the top edge (see picture above) and some have
a wood grain Formica top. Both types are on metal
legs with wheels and are adjustable in height.
Professional-Technical Week 2004
Shoreline Community College is sponsoring Professional
Technical Week February 9-13th. Each program has
invited the public and business community to participate

To
promote this event the Cosmetology Department is
presenting a Cut-A-Thon that offers haircuts for
$1, salon service and product give-a-ways, and a hair and
fashion show to showcase student capacity to perform in
the industry.

COLLEGE GALLERY
"Fictitious Objects"
Unique ceramic works by Kristi Sullivan and Jade
Cheung
January 6th to February 3rd
 The work of two recent graduates of
Shoreline Community College will be featured in the
College Gallery through February 3rd. Jade
Cheung describes her work as "a multi-faceted
accumulation of curiosities," while Kristi
Sullivan's work comes with a warning: "the
semi-innocent, child-like characters are to be viewed
with caution and concern. Sullivan is currently
working at SCC as a hourly ceramic tech and Cheung is
studying at the University of Washington.
An artist reception will be held
from 2 to 4 p.m., Saturday, January 10, 2004 in the
College Gallery, located in the Administration Building,
Building 1000. The public is invited to attend.
"My work consists of ceramic
forms with a variety of imagery and/or texture,"
says Sullivan "The work is intended to
depict aggression, apprehension, awkwardness, and
containment. Each character is given a name and
conveys a mood, which creates a sense of existence beyond
the presented form. The semi-innocent, child-like
characters are to be viewed with caution and
concern. Who are these characters? Where did
they come from? What is their purpose?"
Sullivan can be reached at (206)729-2402 or ksulliva@collegeclub.com.
"I think the only way to
describe my work in general is to say that it is a
multi-faceted accumulation (versus collection) of
curiosities of several mediums that serve to amuse,
confuse or just get in my way," says Jade Cheung.
This particular accumulation of work is simply the result
of my playing with spherical forms, with some being more
elaborate than others. Many of the pieces have been
influenced by gardens and art that could go in them,
particularly those that have a conglomeration of plants
in no particular order, much like those seen in cottage
settings. What I like about them is that they're perfect
for hiding things in, such as sculptures of interesting
shapes or critters and flashes of color out from under
the shadow of plants.
