PLACE: SCC Main Dining Room (9215)
The celebration will be preceded at 4:00pm by a talk from SCC alum, Hunter Ka’imi, “How I Gained 1.3 Million Followers on TikTok… And What I Learned,” also in the Main Dining Room.
Paul Herrick, philosophy professor at Shoreline Community College, will discuss Dr. King’s philosophical ideas, including themes of equality, human rights, and interconnectedness. Explore Dr. King’s views on morality, racism, and the sacredness of human life.
Join us in celebration of Korean American Day with Dr. Moon-Ho Jung’s lecture on Framing and Commemorating the History of Koreans in the Pacific Northwest. The talk will be held on Tuesday, January 14th from 12-2 pm at Shoreline Community College in the Main Dining Room (MDR) in Room 9215. We will be serving Korean Street Food from a local business.
Moon-Ho Jung is Professor of History and the Harry Bridges Endowed Chair in Labor Studies at the University of Washington. He is the author of Menace to Empire: Anticolonial Solidarities and the Transpacific Origins of the US Security State (2022), winner of the David Montgomery Award from the Organization of American Historians and the Labor and Working-Class History Association, and the Theodore Saloutos Book Award from the Immigration and Ethnic History Society, and Coolies and Cane: Race, Labor, and Sugar in the Age of Emancipation (2006). He served as the President of the Korean American Historical Society in 2007-2016.
In 2007, Washington State Governor Chris Gregoire signed a bill designating January 13th as “Korean American Day.” This date marks the first arrival of Korean immigrants to Honolulu, Hawaii in 1903. What is the history of this migration? How and why did Koreans move to the United States, and to the Puget Sound region in particular? This talk will suggest a framework for interpreting local history–a critical step in defining our identities and communities.

The Office of DEIA would like to remind everyone of two professional development opportunities coming up!
Nov 14th at 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm in Quiet Dining Room: Storytelling w/ Pamela Seamonster. Pamela Seamonster is a traditional storyteller from the Snohomish tribe and will be joining us for traditional storytelling centering community and collaboration rooted in Indigenous teachings. This professional development opportunity is open to students and will be an indigenous approach to training. Please feel free to bring your lunch! This event is only available in person.
Nov 18th @ 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm in the Theater:Our Grandmother The Inlet. This film was created by Kayah George & Jaime Gianopoulos in partnership with “Sacred Trust” which is led by The Tslesil-Waututh Nation. This short film sheds light on the mental health challenges faced by Indigenous youth and the enduring spirit to reclaim their connection to culture, water, and land. Afterwards we will have an opportunity to discuss the film with the directors and continue to grow our own understanding of what our Native students experience.
Both opportunities are open to both students & community members and will serve as a great way for our teams to learn about Native communities and issues that are close to Native communities & our Native students. Due to requests from our facilitators these opportunities are in person only to respect the cultural practices.
Best,
Brian Crisanto Ramos M.A. (He/Him) Vice President of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility. Pipil, Lenca, & Mayan Nations
