Arriving in the “real world,” they quickly attract the attention of the media and the public. As the four attempt to discover the meaning of life, they end up becoming reality show celebrities. Then they begin to realize that the real world, similar to the fairy tale world, is full of tricks and traps. Fame, love, youth, and marriage are each unsolved riddles.

The Ebbtide student newspaper received high praise and a General Excellence award last weekend from judges in the Pacific Northwest Association of Journalism Educators contest.

Lauding the paper for being “serious, playful, insightful and relevant,” the judges awarded the Ebbtide second place in the prestigious General Excellence category.

This was the Ebbtide’s 8th General Excellence award in 11 years. “If this keeps up, the Ebbtide will need a trophy stand that isn’t just the top of a file cabinet,” Editor in Chief Connor Tee said with a laugh. “Seriously, the staff came together through some unexpected challenges, and I couldn’t be prouder as I leave SCC. The awards are just icing on the cake.”

Last year, the Ebbtide staff won a first-place Sweeps award for earning the most award points across all the individual categories, from news reporting to page design.

This year, award winners in individual categories included:

  • Frances Hui — 2nd place in news reporting for her story on an SCC international student detained at the Canadian border
  • Areeya Tipyasothi, Nellie Ferguson and Coral Nafziger — 1st place in comprehensive coverage for a spread on academic dishonesty
  • Areeya Tipyasothi — 1st place for a profile of last year’s ASG president Winston Lee
  • Kristen Clark — 1st place in commentary for a piece on gun control
  • CJ Priebe — 3rd place in sports news for a story on the women’s basketball team
  • Martin Musialczyk — 3rd place in news photo for a shot of Elena Esquibel’s communication class performing in the PUB.
  • Nellie Ferguson and CJ Priebe – Honorable Mention for a sports feature on SCC’s Cheer squad
  • Aditya Wiputra – Honorable Mention for a feature photo of a drummer in the talent show.

This year’s contest covered community-college work produced March 2017 to March 2018. It was judged by journalism professionals and instructors at local universities.

Dear Student,

In the words of Arthur Ashe, “True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.”

On Memorial Day, we commemorate those who gave their lives in service to our country. As we prepare to enjoy a relaxing holiday weekend with family and friends, may we also take a moment to offer our gratitude to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice during military service. Their courage and dedication will never be forgotten.

Please join me on Tuesday, May 29 for our Memorial Day Flag-Raising Ceremony at the flagpole in front of Building 1000 at 12:30 p.m. to pay tribute to all those who have died in service to our country.

Gratefully,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

Beginning Tuesday, May 29, the roadway that runs along the back side of the PUB (Building 9000) will be closed. The closure is necessary so that contractors can dig a trench to accommodate the wastewater line for our new student residence hall. The closure is expected to last two weeks (until June 8) and will likely be intermittent rather than continuous.

A map showing the campus roadways is attached, with the location of the closure indicated with a blue rectangle. In order to reach parking lots that would ordinarily be accessed by means of this road, it will be necessary to drive around on the main campus roadway. It may be easiest to use the West Gate to access the main roadway.

We greatly appreciate your patience. If you have any questions about this closure, please contact Edwin Lucero in Safety & Security (elucero@shoreline.edu) or Stuart Trippel (strippel@shoreline.edu).

Thank you!
