Seattle-based singer/songwriter Rachel Wong.
The English 101 Series “The Art of Change” welcomes its first artist, Rachel Wong, to campus Thurs., May 7 from 10:30-11:20 a.m. and 12:30-1:30 p.m. in the Music Building, room 818. Wong’s event in the series is titled “Perfectly Imperfect: Music and Racial Identity.”
Rachel Wong is a Seattle-based Asian-American pop/soul singer who was recently featured on Good Morning America and is known for hits like “Perfectly Imperfect.”
This event is one in a three-part series bringing local artists to our campus this quarter to investigate how different artists think about the relationship between cultural production and social change in their work and in their lives more generally. Each guest will perform/give a talk/show images and address this theme. There will also be space for student-driven Q and A.
The series is FREE and open to the public.
Additional upcoming events in the series are:
Julia Freeman, Artist, Curator, UW Art Instructor, “Unmaking and Making: A Feminist Practice.”
May 20 from 10:30-1120 a.m. and 12:30-1:30 p.m. in Room 2346

Looking for a quiet place to get your computer work done but have a hard time concentrating with lots of noise around you? Come visit the 4102 Student Computer lab.
Since coming on board 6 months ago, I have worked hard to turn this very busy 100-computer lab into the vision the SCC Parliament has wanted for a long time. Because of this, the environment has changed pretty drastically and the students of SCC are very appreciative!
Due to the high usage during the day, if you need to work on your own portable devices (such as a laptop or tablet) I ask that you use the library tables upstairs or other places on campus in order to free up a computer for other students.
Also, book work that does not involve using our desktop computers really needs to be done elsewhere on campus where you can spread out and get your work done more effectively.
Because of the “whisper tones only” philosophy in this lab, small group activities are not appropriate and will be asked to seek another location. Constant chatter is too disrupting to other students around you as these conversations inevitably build in volume. This is also why there are to be no phone calls in the lab! Those around you do not need to hear your private conversation. Phones are to be on vibrate, and please take calls in the hallway only. Please be respectful to your peers.
We are working on purchasing scanners (for the library and this lab) that will scan directly to PDF to help facilitate upload to Canvas.
If there are any other things you’d like to see or have ideas about, please feel free to come chat with me.
For those who are not familiar with the posters and flyers in this lab stating the Parliament rules, please see the Lab Rules brochure.
Thank you,
Deann Larsen

Over the past three weeks, some of the first campus-wide steps were taken in the process of building a long-term strategic plan for Shoreline Community College.
Tom Mesaros, a consultant with the Alford Group, facilitated five discussion groups to help gather input on the college’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT). These sessions were in both large group and small group formats and drew 117 participants, including students, faculty and staff from across the campus.
“My impression is that the SWOT sessions were very successful,” said Stuart Trippel, Executive Director for Business and Student Support Services, who helped organize the sessions.
There is one more opportunity to participate in this piece of the strategic plan process, an online survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SCC_SWOT2015
The survey will be available online until May 20.
The online survey questions are the same as those posed at the in-person sessions. Responses are anonymous and will be compiled with information gathered during the in-person sessions. For more information, contact Bayta Maring, bmaring@shoreline.edu, 206-546-6949.

Join the college community in conversation about Coming of Age in Mississippi, an extraordinary personal memoir of a young black woman growing up in the segregated South and joining the struggle by blacks for voting rights. This Wednesday we’ll be covering chapters 15-17 and will meet in the PUB room 9202 from 12:30-1:30 p.m.
Marked for death by the Ku Klux Klan, Anne Moody survived to tell a story that resonates with today’s headlines about racial tensions and the targeting of African Americans by a white society.
**Free copies of Coming of Age in Mississippi are available only for students and classified staff who register to participate in the Community Read.
