SCC Foundation sponsors annual Legacy Luncheon
SCC President Lee Lambert and Foundation Board member Kevin Grossman, welcomed guests to the Gifts of the Heart Legacy Club Luncheon at the Seattle Golf and Country Club on February 24th.  This luncheon is held annually to honor those who have included the College Foundation in their wills and estate plans. 

Foundation Director Kae Peterson honored Legacy Club members Ina Knutsen and Helen Thompson, who passed away this year, for their generosity to the college through their estate plans.  "These Legacy gifts are so important to the Foundation and to our students because they guarantee that future access for our students will be there for generations to come," says Peterson.

Ina Knutsen, who died on January 11th this year, was a member of the first Board of Trustees at the College, serving from 1967 - 1987.  She was appointed by Gov. Dan Evans and re-appointed by Govs. Dixie Lee Ray and John D. Spellman.  Three generations of Ina's family members attended the luncheon.

Ms. Knutsen participated on an advance committee to explore the formation of a state trustees organization, which was formed and is currently called the Trustees Association of Community Colleges.  Knutsen was later named president of the Trustees Association as well as Representative to the State Board of Community College Education.  She served on the Northshore School District for 14 years and was on the planning board for community colleges.  Knutsen was named Citizen of the Year by the Bothell Chamber of Commerce in 1971 and was appointed to the King Co. Council to work on the King Co. Northshore Revision Plan to help solve zoning problems.  Ms. Knutsen also served on the Eastside Consumers Advisory Committee, where she studied energy problems and worked to find solutions. "But most of all, Ina Knutsen believed in education and her desire to make sure that students had access to higher education was her number one goal," says Peterson.  "Her Legacy gift will be earmarked for access for single parents, especially fathers, for assistance with tuition, books, childcare and other essentials to get through school."

Helen Thompson attended SCC in the mid 1960s -- not as a student herself, but as a loving mother whose son was disabled and confined to a wheelchair.  Thompson pushed Michael to every class during his time at SCC, where he graduated from in 1967, ranking 55 out of 449 with a GPA of 3.62.  The two went on to the UW, where Michael completed a year of studies.   Michael died in 1975 at the age of 28 and his mother, in June 2005 at the age of 83.  Thompson's Legacy gift of $50,000 is a permanent endowed gift that will benefit students with disabilities.

Each year new members are inducted into the Legacy Club; this year Scott Saunders, Student Programs, and his wife, Irene Wagner were inducted.  Saunders is a UW graduate with a master's degree from Western.  He has worked in Student Programs at Shoreline CC since March 1975, when he began his career here.  Wagner is a clinical social worker and has her own practice.  She also teaches in the Parent Ed Program at North Seattle Community College.  They have three daughters, ages 20, 15 and nine. 

Two anonymous inductions were made this year and former SCC President Holly Moore provided funds to upgrade the Herb Manning Memorial Fund to a permanent endowment to assist mature professional-technical students.  

SCC Foundation Board members thank all Legacy Club members for their support of student success:  Donna Bell, Sharon and Boyd Benson, Patricia Bentz, Carolyn Fix and Dick Blount, Linda Breiwick, Paul and Nancy Burton, Hans and Beth Forrester, James Hammond, Jean Hernandez, John James, Jeffrey and Maureen Lewis, Russell Mallett, Elaine Manning, Holly and Mick Moore, Ken and Pearl Noreen, Gary Oertli, Harley and Michele O'Neil, Tom and Kae Peterson, Sarah and Mark Phillips, Cheryl Reed, Terry Reed, Jack and Laura Rogers, Margaret Rogers, Donald and Mary Schultz, Margaret Svec, Phyllis Topham, and Mark and Betty Vanderveen.  SCC students are currently benefiting from the generous estate gifts of Dorothy Ball Gough and Don Heeter.

Chamber Chorale and Shoreline Singers to perform in Spain

 The 35 students who make up the Chamber Chorale and Shoreline Singers, both directed by Robert Bigley, will travel to Spain to perform later this month.  Bigley has gone to Spain a few summers now as the orchestra conductor at a one-week classical music camp for high school, college and music conservatory students. Through the contacts he has made while there, he has been able to organize this opportunity for SCC students. 

The group will spend two days in Madrid before going to Valencia, where they will perform a community concert.  They will then travel to Denia, where Bigley has worked at the music camp.  The students will give school and community concerts as well as perform for the Mayor and City Council and will present them with a plaque provided by the SCC Foundation.  Performances will also be made at the town hall and at a retirement home.  The group will then go to Barcelona, where they will have the opportunity to perform with the Barcelona Gospel Choir. 

Last month the students held an auction to raise funds for the trip and performances were made by the SCC choirs, Spanish singer Rosa Duarte and pianist Charles Enslow at the event titled Canciones del Amor.  The event raised almost $4,000. 

Bigley thanks all those who worked with him to make this trip possible.  English and music instructor Anna Tyrrell coordinated the Denia trip for the Shoreline group on behalf of the Alfa y Omega School. Laura Monge de Silva, who conducts a youth choir in Valencia, is making the concert arrangements in that city, and Elisabet Haro is coordinating everything for the stay in Barcelona.  She is a dance teacher and has connections with local schools and the Barcelona Gospel Choir.  Cindy Ochoa at Frosch International Travel has done great work coordinating the flights, hotels, and ground transportation for Bigley and the students.  Without their work, our students would not have this wonderful experience to look forward to.

Bigley hopes to do an international tour every other year.  They performed in Ireland in the 2003-04 academic year.

Did you know that it takes 24 trees to make one ton of non-recycled printing paper? 
New print management system curbs paper waste 
Last spring Student Body Vice President Elliot Newlin approached Technology Support Services (TSS) expressing concern over the amount of paper waste by students in computer labs, in particular, in the general use lab in Room 4102.  Students had contacted Newlin saying that students were printing very large amounts and not bothering to pick them up, leaving lab staff and faculty to recycle it.  Some students were printing as much as 500 sheets at a time.  If this was happening in one lab, it was probable that all labs were experiencing this kind of waste.  Newlin worked with Manager of Operations and Technology Training Caryl Jacobs to confirm the waste.   Jacobs says that four 50-gallon recycling barrels were being emptied twice a quarter in the 4102 lab alone.  With a little calculation, she realized that students were using approximately 1.3 million sheets of paper a year in the general use lab alone. 

Alex Koval and Jacobs researched how other colleges and universities were handling print management and found that other colleges and four-year institutions were using a print management system and charging fees, finding that the average fee charged was between $.05 - $.10 per copy.  Newlin discussed the situation with the student Technology Review Committee (TRC) and decided that SCC students would pay only $.02 per copy, and community members, $.10, obviously a much lower rate than other higher ed institutions.  The Pharos Uniprint System was installed and has been in place for nearly a year now, and the College has saved a significant amount of paper --  a 70 percent reduction in paper reduction has been realized.  The new Pharos Uniprint system was also installed in the Nursing/Health labs, and they, too, have seen a 70 percent drop in paper usage.  Recently, the TRC also voted to implement a color printing system as well, with a cost of $.75 per copy. 

Newlin and Jacobs hope that ultimately other areas on campus will implement similar systems to help reduce paper waste campus-wide.  So far, the vast majority of student feedback has been positive, stating that the environmental benefits far outweigh the negligible financial costs.  Hopefully this feeling will remain as we continue to strive for a more environmentally-conscientious campus.

March Feature
Distance Learning -- it just keeps moving forward  

In 1998, the Distance Learning Program at Shoreline Community College consisted of nine telecourses.  By Summer Quarter 2002, although the DL curriculum had grown, still only 21 classes were offered in a DL format (online, hybrid, web-enhanced, video courses, interactive television or via Washington Online).  Since that time the number of classes has grown exponentially, with a total of 300 offered today.  By the fall of 2004, a total of 3,489 students were completing coursework via DL technology compared to 5,744 this quarter.  Trend lines reveal that the program grows quarterly during the regular academic year.  Summer quarters have less enrollments, but have grown each year. Click here to read the bio on this student. 

It is Blackboard technology that has made the expansion of DL possible.  With this software, faculty have been able to create more and more online, hybrid and web-enhanced classes — and students can easily access and complete their coursework via the online service.  Recently, Shoreline moved from the Basic level of Blackboard to an Enterprise level, allowing a much larger population to access and utilize the software. The former license served approximately 3,000 accounts; the Enterprise license provides more than double that capacity.  The College will move to the Enterprise version of the Bb software at the beginning of Spring Quarter. 

The new level of Blackboard also provides more features for both faculty and students. "The Enterprise Edition of the Blackboard Learning System allows for a large scalability of the program and integration with the College's registration database (the Student Management System)", says Ann Garnsey-Harter, director of Distance Learning at SCC.  "This means that eventually every student at SCC can have a Blackboard account automatically and every faculty member can have a Blackboard classroom automatically."  Currently, these functions are performed manually by DL staff.

Garnsey-Harter will train faculty on the new provisions of the Enterprise software such as new test question options, adaptive release of content, a new messaging system, and many others at a workshop on March 16th from 2:30-3:30, Library #4214.  She will do more training this quarter and offer it several times during Spring Quarter. 

The college continues to offer more and more DL opportunities to meet our student needs.  Seven faculty members will be paid to develop seven new online courses during Spring Quarter:  Laura Portolese Dias, BA 201 (Intro to International Business -- dual listed as Econ 215); Judy Penn, BioSci 150 (Epidemics and Culture); Betty Peace-Gladstone, Edu 115 (Culturally Relevant Anti-Bias Strategies); Gary Parks, Eng 277/278 (Beginning Short Story Writing); Shana Calaway, Math 110 (Precalculus); Venus Gomez Deming, NDF 110 (Nutrition); and Gillian Murphy, Soc 110 (Intro to Sociology).  These courses were chosen by the Deans and approved by Interim VPAA John Backes because they enable the completion of online certificates, enrich the transfer curriculum, meet student demand, and/or focus on niche programs.

PUB remodel update
Bids for the PUB remodel are currently being solicited and will be accepted until March 28th.   This Tuesday approximately 10 contractors and demolition reps were on campus to do a pre-bid walkthrough.  The architectural firm, Opsis, was also here to show them firsthand what the plans entail.  Once the bids are received it will take about a week to examine the bids and determine which general contractor will be awarded the project.  The College will be contacted some time the week of April 4th with the name of the chosen contractor.  Demolition will begin mid-June.

With regards to the relocation of services in the PUB that will take place, food service vendors are still being identified by the Food Services Committee.  More information will be provided once a list of approved vendors has been developed.

Safety and Security will move over the Spring break to its new home in the FOSS Building, next to the Student Lounge.  Student Programs, Student Government, the Women's and Multicultural/Diversity Centers will move later in the year.  Information about the relocation of these services will be posted to the Virtual PUB as the information become available.

Update on administrative evaluations
The goal of the administrative/exempt evaluation process is to strengthen and improve the performance of the individual being reviewed and to ensure effective administration of the College.  In order to achieve this goal, a new evaluation tool has been developed to address the critical elements of job performance.  Supervisors and their directors/managers will meet to discuss their individual assessments and to set goals for the coming year. These responses should be based on observed or verified performance.  The goal of this discussion is to have an open and constructive conversation that leads to an understanding of how well the employee did in meeting expectations during the course of the performance period. 

In addition to conducting one-on-one performance evaluations, the College conducts a 360° Administrative/Exempt Evaluation on each administrative/exempt employee at least every two years.  Newly hired administrators are evaluated for the first two consecutive years from date of hire, then alternative years thereafter.  This evaluation tool is to be completed by a number of individuals to help in the assessment of the administrative/exempt employee (direct reports, colleagues, students and/or external consultants where applicable). 

The 360° Administrative/Exempt Evaluation will be distributed March 22nd and will be due back April 14th.  Feedback from the evaluation will be compiled and shared with supervisors and administrators after May 1st.

If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact Ruth Clark at rclark@shoreline.edu.

New equipment purchasing process

All technology purchases, including both software and hardware, must be reviewed and approved by and signed by TSS.  Credit cards cannot be used for these types of purchases.  Purchases from any fund source must follow this process. TSS will review all technology requests for college standards and the ability to hook to the College's network and licensing.  Personally owned hardware and software cannot be attached to the college network without review by TSS and all licenses and original receipts for purchases must be on file in TSS. While it may sound hard to purchase technology, just go to the TSS web page and fill out the form. TSS will do the "leg work" and prepare the Purchase Requisition.
 
All media technology purchases need to go through a similar process, but Larry Cheng needs to sign off.  Both Cheng and TSS have information and know the best places to get the best discounts for the college.
 
Finally, all equipment purchase requests must be signed by the appropriate Vice President.  As equipment funds are extremely limited, the VPs are charged with keeping purchases equitable to the funds available.  Just because a department has money, does not mean that department can purchase equipment and create haves and have nots.

DEC students assist community members with income tax statement filing
Accounting instructor Amy Shigley wanted to provide students with an opportunity to gain work experience and community service while studying at SCC so she worked with the IRS to set up an internship program to help low-income (below $35,000/yr) families prepare their tax returns.  Students register for the credit-bearing class and Shigley says that the College is considering expanding the program to meet the needs of more students.  She works closely with the IRS throughout the year to ensure they meet all qualifications.  Last year they helped approximately 100 community members complete their forms and they will most likely do more than that this year.  Kudos to all!

Dental Hygiene faculty participate at UW dental camp

Dental Hygiene faculty members participated in a dental camp at the University of Washington Dental School last October.  The camp is an outreach program to inspire minority students to become interested in health care professions in dentistry and dental hygiene. It is a collaboration between the Washington Dental Service Foundation and the UW School of Dentistry.  The 40 junior high school students who attended are part of a local program called Seattle Early Scholars Outreach.  In the photo, SCC Dental Hygiene faculty member Ona Canfield works with the children.

The goal of the program is to expose disadvantaged junior high school-aged children to oral health professions through a hands-on approach, and encourage them to set high academic goals for themselves so that they are prepared to succeed in whatever career path they might choose in the future.

Dental hygienists worked alongside dental assistants and dentists, all acting as teachers and mentors. They led the kids through exercises making maxillary and mandibular alginate impressions of the dental simulators, making plaster models from their impressions, reconstructing dental anatomy on simulator teeth by melting and carving inlay wax, and evaluating their own mouths for dental plaque using disclosing solution.  Because of the need to adhere to biohazard standards in the lab, the activities were performed on simulators.

At the end of each program there was a brief oral health tutorial and group discussion about what it takes to pursue careers in dentistry, dental hygiene and dental assisting.

Speech Language Pathology  Assistant students complete program via help from Media Services & TSS
An emergency pilot project was put into place by Media Services and TSS (LFP) for five SLPA students who work for the Fife/Auburn School District.  It was not possible for them to come to campus to take the courses and the school district didn't provide access to ITV facility from which they could access their courses.  Video Skype, an inexpensive webcam with microphones and a PC with high speed Internet, enables the students to meet at one of their homes to attend class.  They were able to see and hear the professor give the class and even see what was written on the white board.
