As part of Earth Week 2017 activities, please join us for a volunteer opportunity to participate in campus-wide fruiting ivy removal on Fri., April 21 from 12:30-3:30 p.m.
This is an all-volunteer effort to remove fruiting ivy from our campus planting beds during Earth Week 2017. Birds love to eat ripe ivy berries, which they then spread throughout the region into our yards and greenbelts causing major damage to both our personal and public spaces. Ivy is an extremely damaging plant once it becomes aerial and should be eradicated from our ecosystem. All participants will need to fill out a volunteer registration form to participate, and volunteer forms must be submitted by Fri., April 14. The forms are available at the Associated Student Government offices (3rd-floor PUB) and from the Music department room 807 and will also be available at the Environmental Club table at the Back-to-School Kick-Off event in the PUB Main Dining Room on Thurs., April 13 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.

We invite you to join us for our April event this Mon., April 10 in the PUB 9208 from 1-3 p.m. The theme for April is *Earth Appreciation*!
This month’s featured faculty speaker is Chip Dodd. The event will feature several student speeches on environmental topics as well as a presentation by officers of the Shoreline Environmental Club.
S^3 Shoreline Students Speak is a series of community-oriented and student-led awareness events. Each month will coincide with a theme that will help set the tone for a central discussion. The goal is to have many volunteers speak and express their thoughts so that we can all gain new perspectives and learn from each other through the use of all forms of communication. The structure is similar to an open mic and incorporates a call to action by encouraging community involvement related to the monthly theme. Get curious; connect with your community by sharing your experience and become involved!
Our upcoming event topics include Mental Health Awareness in May and Mentor Appreciation in June. If you have a special interest in these topic(s) and would like to submit a presentation proposal OR if you run or are a member of a club that might want to co-sponsor one of these events, contact the Public Speaking Leadership Club at http://facebook.com/shorelineccpslc.

As the Shoreline Community College Hiking Club prepares for its winter excursion this weekend, we invite all members of the campus to join us for an informational presentation by Everett Mountain Rescue – Hiking Safety: Secrets of Search and Rescue. The presentation is this Fri., March 10 from 12:30-1:30 p.m. in the PUB 9202.
Overview of Presentation
Formed in 1954, Everett Mountain Rescue is an all volunteer, non‐profit organization dedicated to saving lives through rescue and mountain safety education. We are located in Snohomish County, Washington, and work in close coordination with Snohomish County Volunteer Search and Rescue and the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office. Our primary service area is Snohomish County, between Puget Sound and the Cascade mountain crest, but we also provide mutual aid to Search and Rescue (SAR) incidents throughout Washington State.
During our SAR missions, we routinely encounter larger numbers of hikers and climbers who have been unprepared for their wilderness experience. We believe that a small amount of proactive education can lead to better choices, better preparedness, and increased survivability for Northwest hikers.
Our presentation mixes real-life SAR drama with experienced-based advice to provide key messages about risk-awareness, being better prepared, what to do if lost, and assessing natural hazards in the Pacific Northwest. Our target audience is both novice and experienced hikers, from youth to adults.
Presenter Bio: Guy Mansfield, Ph.D. is an experienced climber and hiker who has been active in Search and Rescue since 2008. He is the lead Wilderness Navigation instructor for Snohomish County Volunteer Search and Rescue and has presented at both state and national SAR conferences.
Presentation Format and Duration: The presentation is an interactive slide show/discussion that lasts 60-90 minutes, with opportunities for questions from the audience.
