Art & Activism, PUB 9208: Thurs., April 13 – 9:30-11 a.m.
Mintwab Zemeadim is an Ethiopian artist living in Seattle. Using photography, filmmaking, and collage as mediums, her art serves as a platform for her to celebrate, challenge reality, and transcend the concept of time and space. Sankofa (to go back and get it), an Akan term coined in Ghana, is a theme explored in her visuals. It is exemplified in the creation of alternative universes and the use of the past to inform the future. Preserving her culture is essential to her art, which is rooted in her identity as a Black/African/Ethiopian woman.
In this hands-on workshop, Zemeadim will explore her work and artistic process. Participants will have the opportunity to engage their imagination and create their own collages.

Dear Student,
Welcome to spring quarter! Last week, you may have noticed new t-shirts, buttons, and signs around campus promoting key phrases from our Community Standard. While we always extend a big “welcome” at each quarter’s launch, this quarter’s welcome has a little more behind it and I wanted to let you know what is happening and why.
Many employees and students were asking questions about the changes they have seen nationally and globally and what this means for us at Shoreline. I have heard from you — and certainly feel myself — that we need to learn new and better ways to have constructive conversations with each other. I also heard we need to know what actions we can take to uphold our deeply held values of respect, inclusion, and student engagement at the College.
Our Shoreline Community College Community Standard reflects a process that we engaged in winter and spring 2015 and captures in words the values that are reflected on our campus. Drawing on our Community Standard, we are taking the following actions this quarter:
- We created a #You Are Welcome Here” video and are sharing it on social media and in various venues across campus.
- We have free #YouAreWelcomeHere t-shirts and buttons available for you in the Student Leadership Center. Employees are also invited to purchase them in the bookstore.
- Beginning April 19, and each Wednesday thereafter, we encourage employees and students to wear their #YouAreWelcomeHere t-shirts and buttons to show we care about our collective values of respect, inclusion, and student engagement.
- There is a Community Standard response protocol in place to address any acts of intolerance if they unfold on campus.
- We will offer bystander training to faculty and staff this quarter so that we can learn how to respond if we hear or see someone taking actions that are contrary to our Community Standard.
- Employees will attend an interactive conversation on “Why Do We Value Free Speech?” this week with Michele Storms, Deputy Director, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Washington to discuss how to express our ideas in a diverse society and what it means to disagree and live in community.
- We have joined the Office of Student Life’s conversation series From Margin to Center. Dr. Christopher Parker, professor of political science at the University of Washington and Devin Burghart, VP for the Institute for Research & Education on Human Rights, will provide a conversation on Monday, May 1 (11:30-12:30 p.m.) entitled White Fright: From Redemption to Donald Trump – the dynamics of race and racism from the Civil War through present day.
Please share your ideas on respectful actions we can take to better serve students by emailing pio@shoreline.edu.
Respectfully,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

Join Student Life for the “From Margin to Center” program series with this training that will provide strategies to intervene in hostile/violent contexts. Wed., April 12 1:30-3 p.m. in the PUB 9208.
Tolu Taiwo and Luke Ruiz bring this training to talk about ways to be active bystanders while considering positionality and identities. This training prepares each member of the Shoreline Community College community to be active bystanders and look out for one another in order to create a safer community for all. We care about our friends – this presentation provides an overview of warning signs and skills for response when they are at risk.
Tolu Taiwo and Luke Ruiz both work at Pacific Lutheran University. Tolu serves as the Prevention and Outreach Coordinator for the Center for Gender Equity at Pacific Lutheran University, has served in an array of roles advocating for those in marginalized communities, and was recently selected as a faculty member at NASPA’s Dungy Leadership Institute. Luke Ruiz is a Resident Director for two upper division residential communities and his work crosses over with a number of offices, especially the Center for Gender Equity, where he has been involved in Active Bystander Training for the past couple of years and strongly believes in speaking up and out against injustices in our society.

Join us for “Turning points in life for a young professional,” a talk by Stephen Murphy on Wed., April 12 from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. in the PUB 9208.
University of Washington grad (1966), Stephen Murphy traveled east to Harvard Business School, where he faced his first turning point. Next, he struggled through Vietnam and Pacific typhoons, eventually finding his way to Columbia Business School and onward to Brazil. Later, he lands positions in both Bush administrations. In between, and since, he has had a successful career as an advisor to businesses on both sides of the U.S./Latin American border(s). To find out more about Steve’s “turning points of life,” on many roads both familiar and less traveled, join us. This is a frank and personal discussion of success, failure, and lessons learned by a Seattle boy who became a global wanderer.
