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.

Dear Student,
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.

With the many weather-related campus closures this month, several people have asked when and how Rave Alert messages are sent at the College. Here are some explanations and tips to help everyone understand how to get the most out of this tool.
What is Rave Alert?
- Rave Alert is an automated emergency messaging system that the College can activate to send an urgent message to students and employees via text, email, voicemail, and social media.
Who receives Rave Alert messages?
- Current students and employees are automatically subscribed to Rave Alert, using the information we have in the College database.
- Community members (those who do not have Shoreline email addresses) can voluntarily opt-in to receive alerts by signing up on the Community Member Alert web page.
- The system is designed to automatically stop sending to people who are no longer listed as active employees. Occasionally former employees receive an alert because some employee records remain active beyond an employee’s separation date. Former employees are able to unsubscribe at any time if they receive an alert in error.
How do I unsubscribe or change the way I receive alerts?
When does the College send Rave Alert messages?
- Rave Alert is most often activated when inclement weather affects College operations, but would also be used in the event of a campus emergency, such as a fire, earthquake, or other unsafe situation.
- During weather events, the Executive Team, Facilities, and Safety & Security work together to carefully evaluate the safety conditions on campus. If a closure or late start is needed, they attempt to send out messaging either the night before or by 5:00 a.m.
- Weather and road conditions can sometimes change rapidly. If plans must change on short notice, the Executive Team re-evaluates the safest course of action for the campus community and sends an updated alert as early as possible. Sometimes this may occur after 5:00 a.m., depending on the event, and we understand this may create confusion or hardship for some students and employees.
- Rave Alerts are not sent when the College is open and operating under normal conditions, so if you do not receive an alert and do not see a message on the College website, you can assume the College is operating normally.
Where else is emergency information posted?
In addition to Rave Alert messages, the College publishes emergency information in several places:
- The College website will have an alert banner at the top of every page.
- The main phone line will be updated with closure details (206-546-4101).
- Local news stations will post school closure information on TV, radio, and the internet during major weather events.
- The College’s primary Facebook and Twitter accounts will be updated to reflect closure information.
Still have questions about Rave Alert? Feel free to email pio@shoreline.edu.
