All campus members are invited to join us on Tuesday, April 16th from 9:30-2 pm. From 9:30-12:30, there will be speakers and activities in the Courtyard or the PUB Main Dining (weather dependent). From 12:30-2 pm, there will be a march to Aurora. (See flyer for details.)
This Walkout/Teach-in is about advocating for our entire community: students, faculty, and staff. It’s about sending a message to Olympia that they MUST value the important role higher education plays in the lives of Washington citizens. It’s also about helping our students understand the state of higher education and how underfunding impacts them.

With the terrible news of the mass shooting at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, on March 15, we were confronted with yet another instance of violence that has shaken a community that many of us feel connected to, even though the event took place thousands of miles away.
As a College, we would like to extend our heartfelt sympathy and solidarity to those impacted by this tragedy here and abroad. Around the world, we have seen a documented upsurge in Islamaphobia, anti-muslim rhetoric, and microagressions in many forms.
In the wake of this recent act of terrorism, we have an opportunity to reaffirm what we as a College stand for and against. As stated in our Community Standard, we do not tolerate hateful, violent, or discriminatory actions that target any person or group based on their beliefs, customs, identity, or affiliations.
We know members of our campus community may be personally affected by this horrific event, and support is available on campus to anyone who may need it. Students are encouraged to reach out to the Counseling Center if they are feeling distressed or in need of compassionate support (206-546-4594, FOSS Building 5000). Employees can access services through the Employee Assistance Program (877-313-4455).
Shoreline has a strong legacy as a college that welcomes learners from all backgrounds and nationalities and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being a welcoming and inclusive campus for all.

Due to the residence hall construction, the road from the East Entrance heading north will be reduced to one lane from 7:00 to 10:00 A.M. on Wednesday, March 20, 2019. (Flaggers will be directing traffic.) Once past the 9000 building (the “PUB”), approaching the 5000 building (“FOSS”), the road will be open as normal.
We appreciate your continued patience with the construction and road closures. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jason Francois

On Friday, March 29th, 2019, at 2:00 PM, Safety & Security will be conducting a Fire Evacuation Drill in Building 5000 (FOSS). This drill is designed to give students, staff, and visitors the opportunity to practice emergency procedures in a simulated but safe environment. This also gives employees tasked with emergency duties (Safety & Security and Building Evacuation Monitors) an opportunity to train for emergency situations.
The alarm will be triggered at 2:00 PM and all occupants must evacuate the building and will be directed to designated assembly areas. Safety & Security and Building Evacuation Monitors will be conducting sweeps of the building to ensure all occupants are out and safe. Once the building has been confirmed as clear, the alarm will be silenced, the drill will be completed, and occupants will be allowed to enter the building and resume their normal activities.
Please note, if you are in the building when the alarm sounds, it is MANDATORY that you evacuate.
If you have any questions. Please contact the Safety & Security Department in Room 5102.
