President
Lambert is delegate with governor's trade mission to Asia
SCC
President Lee Lambert was one of about 80 delegates (government, business,
port and higher education leaders) who traveled to Asia with Governor
Gregoire's Korea/Taiwan Trade Mission, October 13-21. International
education is a $300 billion industry worldwide, and that only $13 billion of
that is spent in the United States. The entourage attended the fourth
Korea-Pacific U.S. States Joint Conference in Seoul which was co-hosted by
the Korea-U.S. Economic Council (KUSEC) and Washington state Gov. Gregoire.
Lambert joined presidents and other higher education personnel from
universities and colleges from Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, California and
Hawaii. The purpose of the trade mission was to support economic and
educational cooperation.
The education delegation was
focused on identifying paths to increase enrollment of Asian students at
Washington state colleges. The higher education itinerary included
discussions on partnerships between Korean, Taiwanese and U.S. colleges and
universities in support of developing a global workforce. Ideas for
collaboration include joint recognition of degrees and exchange of students,
professors and educational programs. Academic-industrial collaborations and
internship programs were also discussed.
While in Seoul,
Lambert participated as a panelist of U.S. and Korean universities and
colleges at the KUSEC conference. Lambert also met with Ajou Motor College
President Soo-Hun Lee
and signed a Memorandum of Understanding for Academic Interchange (MOU.
The MOU was signed to promote and develop cooperation in research and
education to promote closer ties, greater understanding, and mutual
benefit. The MOU provides for the exchange of faculty members to give
lectures and to conduct seminars and research. The MOU also supports the
exchange of students in both long-term- and short-term programs.
“It is my hope that every U.S. student who wants to study abroad has the opportunity,” says Lambert, “as it offers experiences in other cultures that you just can’t get in the classroom. As we become more globally connected, the importance of cultural competency for Americans will become more and more important.” Lambert has lived in Korea, Japan and Germany, and found the experiences to provide him with a keen interest and understanding of world cultural
Lambert then traveled to Taipei in northern Taiwan, for the remainder of the
conference. While there, he joined Assistant International Director of
Marketing and Recruitment, Jack Spirakes
at the Oh America Post-Secondary Recruitment Fair.
In Taiwan, Lambert also participated in a seminar with higher education
officials from Taiwan. He learned that a total of 98.4% of children aged 6 to 11 attend school;
and only 6.4% of adults are classified as illiterate and
self-educated. Approximately 75% of all students who apply to
universities enroll as undergraduates. The percentage of graduate students
continues to rise as well. A large number of Taiwanese study abroad to earn
their advanced degrees.
Lambert also spoke with Taiwanese school officials about potential faculty
exchange programs, twining agreements and Direct Transfer Agreements. He
also attended a dinner hosted by the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce and a
luncheon hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The variety of electric vehicles were the most popular; particularly the Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs), which are used largely for short errands by individual owners or for campus-wide use by institutions. The Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) for highway and in-city driving (which use a combination of gasoline and batteries that can be recharged by plugging into a standard 110 volt outlet) were also popular. Other vehicles on display ranged from Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicles, to Flex Fuel vehicles that burn gasoline or ethanol, to on- and off-road vehicles that burn biodiesel.
Members of the Puget Sound Chapter of the National Association of Fleet Administrators (NAFA), the Public Fleet Managers Association (PFMA), and Puget Sound Clean Cities Coalition attended workshops on a variety of topics to help meet the challenges of "greening" their fleets via sustainable business practices and reducing their greenhouse gas emissions.
Keynote
speaker Jerome Ringo presented both Friday and Saturday,
sharing moving stories of his personal experience with the
inequities of the federal government's response to Hurricane
Katrina, and how crucial it is to develop broad-based support
from every segment of our society as we face the reality that climate
disruption is likely to cause even more catastrophic weather
conditions.
Ringo applauded Shoreline Community College's efforts to educate the public on alternative energy, saying that the nation can create millions of new jobs if we embrace renewable energy in the same way that the country pulled together under John F. Kennedy to put a man on the moon with the Apollo mission. He urged SCC and the region's environmentally aware leaders to charge ahead and follow the lead set by the 300 plus U.S. mayors who have signed an agreement committing to reduce emissions to meet standards set by the Kyoto protocol (Odyssey Days speakers included mayors and representatives who have signed the agreement from the cities of Seattle, Shoreline, Lake Forest Park and Everett.)
Newsradio 710 KIRO's Dave Ross was master of ceremonies on Saturday morning and he interviewed KC Golden, policy director of Climate Solutions. Ross also promoted the Shoreline Community College event on his show. The Seattle Times published an editorial about Odyssey Days and Kate Riley, Times Editorial Columnist was Mistress of Ceremonies for the morning general sessions on Friday.
The "Earth Odyssey:
Cleaning Up Our Cool Planet" environmental poster contest was held
at the Shoreline, Edmonds, Northshore and Seattle school districts
as a part of Odyssey Days. Students drew or painted an image showing
how to protect the environment for future generations. Criteria for
winning posters included conveying a clear message about
the environment, creativity, originality and artistic quality, and
artwork or illustration with visual clarity. Dean Norma
Goldstein was the chair of the contest and Bruce Amstutz
and Mary Bonar were members of an 18-member committee who
judged the entries.
The winning poster was created by Emerson Jordan, the son of SCC associate faculty member, Helena Azevedo. Goldstein reports that committee members didn't know that Jordan was Azevedo's son. Small world! Jordan is a fourth grader from Lawton Elementary School in Seattle. Stephanie Shao won second place and Carolyn Birkenfeld was awarded third place. They are also students at Lawton Elementary. The students received two free tickets to hear Al Gore speak about global warming at Key Arena Monday, October 23rd. First prize winner Jordan also won a family membership to the Pacific Science Center. They all sat together at the Gore event and the kids brought signs. "The kids enjoyed Al Gore's talk and video," says Goldstein. "It was great to see such young folks actively engaged in understanding the issues of climate change. Much credit goes to their fourth grade teacher, Mike Howard, who had engaged his class in this activity."
An interview with Solar House
student manager, Lindsay Mellum
Lindsay
Mellum, WSU technical consultant and
interior design lead of the solar house project at SCC, says the progress of
the installation of the house is coming along and that it should be
completely installed by late November or early December. Currently,
the plan is for Mike Nelson,
director of the Northwest Solar Center, to move into the new NSC facility in
January. Deans Susan Hoyne, Berta Lloyd
and Carla Hogan, the management team for the zero energy house, will
work with Nelson on programming.
Mellum was one of the WSU team who designed and built the model, and as SCC's project technical consultant, provides design details as well as a historical review of its development. The house is constructed of structurally-insulated styrofoam and steel panels attached to a shipping container, which is the structural core of the house. All plumbing, appliances, heating, electrical units are inside of the container. Hot water tank inverters and batteries that run the solar panels are also inside the container. The solar structure was designed so that it could be taken apart and put together again fairly easily. Ten architects worked on the project; seven of them are still in school at WSU. Some of them are finishing their undergraduate degrees, most are working on their graduate programs. The team also included one construction manager, one other interior designer and one electrical engineer. Mellum has a bachelor's degree in interior design from WSU and graduated in May, 2006.
The process of building the home around a container not only works well for a solar home, but also makes moving the home relatively easy. "This process made recycling the house a fairly easy process," says Mellum. "You can basically take something just sitting around and create a home around it." Although Mellum helped the team of WSU students and graduates solder the plumbing, attached structural connections and put the cabinets in, she focused more on lighting, furniture and cabinets. "We all learned from each other -- something we couldn't have experienced in the classroom."
Brian Mast,
an engineering consultant (Trippel/Mast Consulting LLC), has volunteered
endless hours as project director of the solar house project. Mast has
vast construction management experience and has been extremely helpful in
tracking down contractors and volunteers.
Maintenance mechanic, Ron Norimatsu, has done all of the new
electrical conduit and wiring work to this point. Mast, along with
Mellum and College administrators are very grateful to Norimatsu's help.
A team worked day and night to get the house ready for Odyssey Days, including Mellum, Mast, professional contractors and CEO students, Ben Asghedom, Joseph Marquez and Jonathan Vanater. Currently, all team members continue to work with Mellum except for Marquez and Vanater.
Rep. Maralyn Chase was very helpful in the process of getting the solar house to SCC. Mellum says she helped with putting them in touch with contractors, and helped paint the interior. "She has been really great," says Mellum.
According to Mellum, houses can be converted to solar energy without changing the look of the house. The house has a butterfly roof; the panels are inverted so that they are not visible. "The roofline has a valley instead of a peak," says Mellum. In the future, rain water will be recycled to water plants. Inside the house, parallel strand lumber is used for the beams between the panels, which made the construction easier and looks good. The beams are made from young harvested fir trees which provide good support.
"We are getting great support at SCC," says Mellum. "The college has been great to work with." Mellum says that they really appreciated the help from Mast, John Backes, Stuart Trippel, Chris Nelson, Randy Stegmeier and the rest of the facilities employees.
The modular structure will serve as a demonstration/test facility of the Northwest Solar Center (a WSU program) as well as a nucleus site for the development of curricula in alternative fuels, energy conservation, and renewable energy systems at SCC. New programs and courses will be developed at SCC in conjunction with the WSU curriculum to provide training for those people interested in working in the emerging renewable industries, automotive service facilities, utility companies, or who wish to continue their education at a four-year university in degree programs such as architecture, construction management and electrical engineering.
Denmark college is SCC’s first international
sister school
International Programs has established the College's first international
sister college partnership with Business Academy West (BAW) in Esbjerg,
Denmark. The goal of the partnership is to foster international
education and exchange in Shoreline’s technical and professional programs.
This is Shoreline’s first reciprocal partnership.
Shoreline CC hosted three BA West business/marketing, information technology and multimedia communication technology faculty in January 2006. SCC instructors and deans met with the Danish instructors to discuss their respective curricula and their interest in faculty and student exchange. Like Shoreline, the professional and technical programs at BA West offer terminal two-year degrees or the option for students to continue their studies at university. The colleges offer similar programs in business administration, marketing, and visual communications technology.
Written and verbal evaluations affirmed the program similarities and a high level of interest in exchange. It was recommended by Shoreline’s faculty and deans that we move forward with a formal agreement. This summer, President Lambert and Business Academy West's Principal, Karsten Rieder signed a memorandum of understanding that outlines the scope of the agreement which includes the exchange of faculty, the exchange of students, and collaboration on research and curriculum.
The first student exchange will take place this Winter Quarter 2007, with seven Danish students enrolling in business courses. Additionally, the Business Department will locate internship opportunities for these students who will then write their graduating thesis based on their practical experience in a U.S. company.
The first faculty exchanges are also under way. During Winter Quarter finals week and spring break, Laura Portolese-Dias will go to Esbjerg to teach business and marketing classes. One of her classes will be "Marketing in the United States" and she will also teach an international marketing class. She was selected by her peers to be the first instructor to teach at BAW. Portolese-Dias says she may also teach about basic banking and the investment system in the states.
During the second and third weeks of Spring Quarter, the College will host the first visiting professor from BAW, Mr. Sonnich Jensen. He will guest lecture and co-teach with SCC business faculty, including David Starr, Laura Portolese-Dias and Steve McCloskey. He will be available to guest lecture in other related courses and will speak to community organizations and neighboring schools. A reception will be held to welcome him to campus.
"We are equally as excited to have a Denmark faculty member teach in our classes," says Portolese-Dias. "We feel having him discuss the European Union and Monetary policy in our classes will enrich student's experience and understanding of global issues."
The formation of the partnership began one year ago when former WED VP Darlene Miller and Assistant Director of International Education Colleen Ferguson visited Denmark to meet with college administrators and faculty about exchange opportunities.
Esbjerg is a port city on the west coast of Denmark. Industry, transportation, building and construction, as well as higher education are the major business sectors. The area offers beaches, tidal flats, wild birds and animals, and natural scenery, similar to the Shoreline/Seattle area. The population is 85,000.

An article on the trip will be published in the November edition of Net News.
Student
Retention Campaign - What You Need to Succeed
Members of the Enrollment Management Committee (EMC) have developed a
campaign to facilitate student retention: What You Need to Succeed?
New banners will announce student registration dates in plenty of time to give students a heads-up and to plan accordingly. Faculty will make announcements in classes, and Enrollment Services will continue to send notices to current students. Student resource sheets that give information on where to go for academic help, emergency financial aid, help for personal crises, etc. will be provided to faculty to give to students who need help. EMC members will work with staff on new ideas for customer service (in addition to the many things they are already doing). For example, if a staff member sends a student somewhere else on campus, they will make a phone call to let the individual know that they are sending a student their way. They are also planning on adding additional advising in the lower floor of the library during registration days on the 13th and 16th of November -- all divisions will be represented.
New features have been added to the IMS program that make it easier to manage communications with students such as automatic personalized responses to inquiries. The new program also alerts faculty with automatic emails when inquiries have been made regarding their programs. Tracking and responses to inquires on the Multicultural Center and the Women's Center are also automatic. The ability to select specific delivery methods will be available in the near future -- such as email or postal mail responses. Also, letters and mail labels will be automatically printed when inquiries have been made. The new process will be demonstrated at the November All-Campus meeting.
Thanks to the generosity of Whidbey's and the hard work of Ritva Manchester, we have been given 50 coupons good for two free coffee beverages if presented at a Whidbey's outlet on campus by a student accompanied by a faculty member. These coupons will be distributed to selected students during the coming week. (National studies show that interaction between faculty and students outside of the classroom increases the likelihood of retention.) This pilot project is designed to promote such contact in a way that is fun and also promotes student satisfaction.
On the recruiting side, Jeff Omalanz-Hood will continue his high school visits and parent nights at area schools such as Meadowdale (Edmonds), Ballard, Bishop Blanchett, Garfield, Henry Jackson, Lynnwood, Roosevelt, Summit K-12 Alternative School, and Woodinville. So far this quarter, he has already gone to Odea, the Shoreline City Fair (where public and private schools recruited), Mukilteo District Fair, Everett District Fair and the Latino Youth Summit in Lacey, at which 350 Latino students attended the college fair. Omalanz-Hood will attend a National College Fair at the Seattle Convention Center November 3-4, where thousands of high school students and other prospective students from around the state will meet with faculty and admissions reps from across the country. Amy Winslow, Diana Knauf, Amy Kinsel and Norma Goldstein will attend to promote SCC. Several Humanities faculty will recruit students at the National Association for College Admission Counseling Performing Arts College Fair in Seattle on November 2nd. Kim Cambern has done several outreach events as well this quarter, and Odyssey Days provided a great venue for outreach efforts. The task force is also looking at how to best reach possible students via churches, youth groups, etc.
In 2004-05, SCC participated in 57 high school recruiting events; last year that number rose to 73. Other non-high school recruiting events rose from 17 to 45. Omalanz-Hood plans to increase that number again this academic year.

Student artwork adorns PUB
fences
The portrait paintings hanging from the cyclone fences around the PUB were
painted by students in Natalie Niblack's
Painting 256 class this past Summer Quarter.
Over the course of five class sessions, students completed
five self portraits with two and a half hours to complete each one. The acrylic on
paper paintings were done in the style of the German Expressionists or the
French Fauvists, incorporating an expressive approach to paint application,
defining form, and subjective color.
They
are a
sampling of the final class assignment.
Kudos to both instructor
Niblack and the students as well as Humanities Division Dean
Norma Goldstein,
who came up with the great idea to hang them around the PUB The students agreed to have their art
displayed and the paintings were scanned, enlarged and laminated.

The annual Japanese Cultural Festival was held October 18th for students,
faculty and staff to enjoy many aspects of the Japanese culture. HTC students demonstrated origami, calligraphy,
martial arts, dance, and
offered other activities and games. The event is part of the HTC
curriculum and gives the students a chance to share their culture and to
practice their English language skills.
Every year Shoreline Community College welcomes between 60-100 students
from all over Japan who come to study in the Hospitality and Tourism Program
(HTC). Typically, students spend one year before arriving and another
after they return to Japan studying hospitality-related courses. In the 10 months
HTC students stay in Seattle, they live with American host families and have
many opportunities to travel and learn first-hand about American culture,
history and scenic spots.
Sixty-one students are enrolled in the program this year. They come to SCC in April and study here for 10 months, leaving for home in February. While at Shoreline, HTC students study English as a Second Language (ESL), as well as courses related to life in the U.S., preparation for future careers, and technology. Additionally, HTC students enjoy a variety of enrichment experiences which include field trips throughout the academic year around Washington State, internships with local hotels and businesses, and volunteer opportunities.
