Day and Time

This year’s theme: What is Inclusion?
The annual Day of Learning serves to provide time for intentionality, reflection, and a renewed commitment to support and value every member of our community – particularly those who are often marginalized. Our goal for this year’s Day of Learning is to improve knowledge and skills around implementing inclusive practices across campus by revisiting our Community Standard, exploring how interpersonal, group, and systemic interactions promote or deny inclusion, and empowering one another to enact change.
Community Standard Statement
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly…”
—Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Shoreline Community College is a place for students, employees, and the community to pursue excellence in education in an environment dedicated to equity, inclusiveness, and self-reflection. We value respectful, dynamic interactions and lively discussion. We strive to create an environment where everyone is supported and valued. Shoreline Community College does not tolerate hateful, violent, or discriminatory actions that target any person or group based on their beliefs, customs, identity, or affiliations. When one of us is diminished, all of us are diminished.
Event schedule
Will be posted in Spring Quarter
Note: All full time employees are expected to attend. If you have conflicts please contact your supervisor.
Request for Proposals
The DEI Learning Team invites colleagues across campus to join us in leading sessions. Any
employee can submit a proposal; we welcome all passionate proposals. If a proposal
is selected, there will be opportunities to refine and revise the session design.
Compensation and Support
Faculty and Classified Staff facilitators will be paid an hourly rate for leading
their sessions at the Day of Learning. (Contact Brigid Nulty for specifics.)
Facilitators do not need to be an expert on their proposed session topic; we are simply
asking for proposals from employees who are passionate or curious about an issue related
to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Learning Team can provide some support to
employees who want help in designing their session.
Proposal elements
Description of session: Please provide a short description of the session.
Area of focus: Primary topic or emphasis, how your session connects to our work, our students, and/or
our regional community
For example: Racial Identity, Gender Identity and Expression, Housing Insecurity,
Cross-cultural Communication, Ecological Justice, Teaching and Learning, Ableism, Accessibility,
etc.
Note: This is not a complete list. We have assembled example proposals for inspiration.
Format: Is this going to be a presentation/lecture, a workshop, a panel discussion, or a
creative activity? Or something else entirely?
Collaborators: Are you developing this with a team, or assistants? Who are they?
Any additional information: Is there anything else you think the DEI Learning Team should consider?
