Understanding Suicide Tuesday, November 3, 2015 12:30pm in the PUB, room 9208 (Quiet Dining Room)
We have invited a panel to campus to talk about one of the most difficult subjects in our culture: suicide. Join us to learn more about the signs and symptoms of suicidality from a personal perspective. Counselors from SCC Counseling Services will be available during and after the panel. All are welcome.
Join Counseling Services and Brooke Zimmers from Communication Studies to welcome guest speakers Laura Nelson and Laura Philip to our campus. Laura and Laura will increase understanding of suicide by presenting their personal stories and experiences, and sharing what recovery has looked like for them. They will discuss warning signs, ways to get someone help, and what has been helpful for them. We are pleased to welcome these speakers, who have both volunteered with the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention and Forefront: Innovations in Suicide Prevention.
SCC Counselors Gwyn Hoffman-Robinson and Sheryl Copeland will be available to provide information and resources after the presentation.

This Wed., Nov. 4 Seattle’s Raging Grannies are holding a film screening and performance on Shoreline’s campus to promote global peace, justice, and social and economic equality by raising public awareness through the medium of song and humor. Hosted by the Student Leadership Center, the event takes place in the PUB Quiet Dining Room from 12:30-3 p.m. (film showing 12:30-2 p.m., Grannies performance 2-3 p.m.)
What Are the Raging Grannies Raging About? They are enraged about the poor conditions that people are forced to endure in their lives, and about the condition of the earth that will be left to our precious grandchildren. They sing out to gain respect for all persons and encourage everyone to grow above their prejudices. They rage against “corporate greed” and sign for “one world” in which JUSTICE is evident everywhere and PEACE reigns.
Join the Global Affairs Center this Wed., Nov. 4 in the PUB Quiet Dining Room from 11:30 a.m. – 12:20 p.m. for a talk on Women and Social Protest.
• What role do women play in politics?
• What prompts women to organize on behalf of unpopular causes?
• How are women themselves changed by personal experiences of political activism?
Using both historical and contemporary examples from the U.S. and other countries, Shoreline Community College’s own Professor Rachel David will discuss answers to these and other questions. For more information about Ms. David, visit our biographies page here.
A message from Shoreline’s president Dr. Cheryl Roberts.
Dear Students,
The new strategic plan for Shoreline Community College is nearing its final draft for presentation to our Board of Trustees in early 2016. In forming the plan, we have witnessed unprecedented participation from hundreds of members of our campus community. There have been thoughtful and rewarding conversations with both employees and students as well as with members of our broader local and business communities. Thank you for all the work you have done thus far to shape our future!
The Strategic Plan Task Force and the Executive Leadership Team will work through the remainder of the year to refine the goals and objectives of the plan. At the same time, we want to have a discussion about our current vision and mission statements. This will allow us to inform the Board of Trustees, which sets the vision and mission of the College, that our campus community has spent time reviewing the statements for any proposed modifications. The purpose is not to propose a new vision or mission, but to ask whether anything in the current vision and mission is out of alignment with the strategic goals as they have been revised following the group discussions during Opening Week.
Laura Rehrmann, Special Assistant to the President, will facilitate two meetings to discuss the vision and mission statements. In reviewing the vision and mission, you will see the draft strategic goals as they now stand. I hope that you will be able to attend one of these sessions:
Thursday, November 12, 3:00–4:30 p.m., Room 1402
Tuesday, November 17, 8:30–10:00 a.m., Room 9201
There will also be an opportunity to contribute online for those who cannot attend in person.
In early winter quarter, we will share the new strategic plan with the campus community one last time, prior to presentation to the Board of Trustees. Then the work begins to join together in implementing our preferred future over the next five years.
Thank you again for your valuable participation as our strategic plan is developed. We are nearing the finish line!
