Dear Student,
On Friday, October 18, a student discovered a racially offensive sticker on the Career Education Options (CEO) job bulletin board in the Workforce office that referred to diversity and white genocide. The sticker was reported to CEO staff, immediately taken down, and given to Safety & Security for investigative purposes.
As our Community Standard Statement declares, we do not tolerate hateful, violent, or discriminatory actions that target any person or group based on their beliefs, customs, identity, of affiliations. While our College respects and protects freedom of speech, we also affirm the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion, and are steadfastly committed to providing a welcoming and secure environment for all members of our community.
We ask for your assistance in helping us to identify if any other materials of this nature are found anywhere on campus. Shoreline maintains an active Bias Response Team dedicated to reviewing and responding to incidents like this. Please report any and all bias incidents using our bias incident reporting form.
Offensive materials such as this sticker can bring up many feelings for people. If you are in need of support, please know we offer resources to students through the Counseling Center (FOSS Building 5000, Room 5251).
Shoreline is unwavering in its resolve to create an inclusive, diverse and welcoming community, and incidents such as this will not deter us from this important work. We can and will work together to find the best in each other, to bridge our differences, and to treat each other with the respect and kindness that all people deserve.
Respectfully,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

Congratulations to Jennifer Brown, a Shoreline student currently studying abroad in Japan thanks to a $2000 Gilman scholarship award.
Studying abroad helps students broaden their worldview and allows them to experience different cultures, discover a different style of education, hone language skills, discover new career tracks, find new areas of interest, and gain life experience and opportunities for personal growth. Many students don’t take advantage of study abroad opportunities because they aren’t aware of the many scholarships available to help defray the costs.
Check out the Gilman scholarship, as well as the numerous other scholarships available to students to study abroad.
And check out the many fabulous 2020 Study Abroad opportunities posted on Shoreline’s Study Abroad page.

Dear Student,
Seattle City Light has confirmed that the permanent power connection made to our residence hall last week is performing as expected.
The next step is to backfill the excavation made in the road near the East Gate and patch (pave) the road. The current plan is to backfill on Wednesday, August 14 and to pave on Thursday, August 15.
While the work is progressing, the east road will be closed between the East Gate and the loading dock in the 9000 building (the “PUB”). Deliveries and traffic can still access the area by looping around campus, past the dog park, and the 2100 building. Hours of work are expected to be from 7:00 am to noon each day (August 14 and 15).
During the asphalt patching/paving on Thursday, August 15, we will have a situation similar to the patching done on the east road in June. We are not expecting significant odor or volume. However, if you pass close by the area, you will likely experience fumes. This is the type of work done on roadways all over the region, only much smaller in scope.
Please contact me with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Jason Francois

On Monday, July 22, a flyer was discovered in the Library that encouraged reporting individuals who are undocumented to law enforcement. The flyer was removed and Safety & Security continues to monitor the campus for any other materials of this nature. According to Safety & Security, Edmonds Community College also found similar flyers on their campus on the same day.
At this time, I want to reaffirm that Shoreline Community College serves and supports all students, regardless of immigration status. We do not request or collect immigration documentation except as needed to determine eligibility for resident tuition. Additionally:
- The College has no legal obligation or affirmative duty to enforce federal immigration law.
- The College does not provide immigration information or any other protected student information to others without a lawfully issued subpoena or court order.
- Campus security officers do not question people about their immigration status and do not detain people because they are undocumented.
- We do not make admission decisions based on immigration status.
I know many people may be feeling distress about current anti-immigration sentiments and practices in this country. If students or employees are experiencing anxiety, stress, or fear, I encourage you to access free and confidential counseling resources:
Please know all are welcome here.
Respectfully,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.

Dear Campus Community,
Early this morning (before 3:00 AM), a 4.6 magnitude earthquake occurred approximately 2 miles outside of Monroe, Washington. While the campus sustained no damage from the earthquake, this is a good opportunity to remind students of the following guidance found in the Shoreline Community College Emergency Response plan.
EARTHQUAKE:
In the event of an earthquake, building occupants should immediately seek protection from falling objects by moving under a sturdy desk, a doorway, or near where two walls intersect. Once the earthquake has stopped instructors should inform students that the building will be evacuated and that any personal belongings should be brought out with them.
During an earthquake:
- Stay calm. First and foremost, having an emergency plan will help you remain calm
- Stay put. If you are indoors, stay there. If outdoors, stay there
- Take cover. If indoors, do a “drop and cover” under a desk, table, or bench, or stand alongside an inside wall, in an archway, doorway that does not have a door, or corner. Avoid windows, doorways with a door, bookcases, hanging fixtures, or outside walls until the shaking stops
- If no protection is available, drop to the floor and cover your head with your hands. Make sure to take a “drop and cover” position
- Do not be surprised if the electricity goes out, or if fire alarms and sprinklers go on
After an Earthquake:
- Stay safe and relaxed. Carefully evaluate the situation
- Use caution when moving students and staff to safe area(s).
- Make sure everyone is alright. Take class rosters and account for all students
- Do not move the seriously injured unless they are still in danger. Administer first aid, if necessary
- Wear sturdy shoes in areas near fallen obstacles and broken glass
- Check natural gas, water, and electrical lines for damage
- Do not use the telephone, light switches, matches, candles, or other open flames unless you are absolutely certain there is not natural gas leaking
- Do not touch electrical power lines
- Be prepared for aftershocks

Dear Student,
I would like to extend my best wishes for a safe and happy 4th of July, as our nation celebrates Independence Day on Thursday. As you enjoy the festivities, I hope you’ll also take a moment to reflect on the purpose of this day: to honor the vision of freedom and equality expressed in the U.S. Declaration of Independence. Today and every day, we reaffirm that we are all created equal and are endowed with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Warmly,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
