Racial/Restrictive Land Covenants by faculty member Ernest Johnson
Room 1504, 10:30-11:20 a.m.
Real estate developers in the greater Seattle area, including Shoreline, often included racially discriminatory language in the original plans for the subdivision of property to build homes. Buyers had to agree to the language if they wanted to buy property. Subsequent buyers also had to agree to the terms and sometimes were unaware of them since deeds referred to the covenants without specifying them. Researchers have found that for the Seattle area “a majority of residential property is restricted by racial covenants or ‘gentlemen’s agreements.” This session will examine the language of these racial restrictions, their impact and implications for today’s society.

Water In and Out of Our Homes by faculty Emma Agosta
PUB 9202, 10:30-11:20 a.m.

Ocean Acidification is the decrease of the pH in the ocean caused by increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.  Some of this carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid, thereby increasing ocean acidity.  Increasing acidity is thought to have a range of possibly harmful consequences, such as depressing metabolic rates and immune responses in some organisms, and causing coral bleaching, and contributing to global warming.

Thurs., March 10: 7:30 p.m.

Shoreline Community College Theater Department is proud to present Seattle based Wayne Rawley’s “Live! From the Last Night of My Life.”

Doug Sample is a man who has decided his experiment with life has, for all intents and purposes, failed. He has achieved nothing, accomplished nothing, and has nothing except his graveyard shift at a local gas station and Mini-Mart. He has decided that the best thing for everyone would be if he shot himself in the head, and he is planning to do it right in front of the Mini-Mart’s security cameras at the end of this, his last shift. But before the night is over, Doug will be visited by his past, his present, his possible futures, and some particularly annoying customers as he struggles with some of life’s most challenging questions like “Why should I go on?”, “What does it all mean?”, and perhaps most importantly, “Did I remember to change the cherry syrup in the Slushie Machine?”

Shoreline DECA Takes Top Awards at Regional Competition

Shoreline’s Collegiate DECA team returned from the 2016 Pacific Northwest Career Development Conference held Feb. 18-20 in Spokane, WA with a number of wins.

Of the 25 students representing Shoreline in 12 events at this year’s conference, 13 students placed third or better. Almost all Shoreline participants, 24 out of 25, qualified for the 2016 Collegiate DECA International Career Development Conference to be held in Washington, DC April 15-20. About 1,200 students from Canada, China, and the United States will participate at the international level.

DECA has been active at Shoreline Community College since 1966. In the 2015-2016 academic year, Shoreline’s Collegiate DECA program nearly doubled in size from 22 last year to 45 this year. Most awards were earned by first-year DECA members!

In addition to individual awards earned by students, Shoreline Community College took the top spot in the Entrepreneurship Category among all schools competing. Shoreline students went head to head against students from other prominent schools throughout the region, including the University of Washington-Bothell Campus, Washington State University, Western Washington University, Gonzaga, Bellevue College, and Spokane Community College.
