Join us Wed., Nov. 18 from 12:30-1:30 p.m. in the PUB Quiet Dining Room (9208) for a talk by Shoreline’s own Prof. Diana Knauf titled “Cambodia: A Country of Contradictions.”
For most, Cambodia evokes one of two striking images; the majesty of the ancient Ankor Wat or the Killing Fields of the Khmer Rouge era (1975-1979). Come expand your view of this beautiful, sometimes historically troubled and now quickly developing country – there is far more about Cambodia worth knowing.
As with most nations, issues abound: Socio-economic imbalances exist between rural and urban areas, and when combined with the lack of opportunities for employment, education, and safe-migration, issues such as human trafficking arise. Nongovernmental organizations may have sincere hopes of helping, but are they effective? How can one move forward in our fast paced world and yet still protect rich cultural traditions and the environment? In a country determined to move beyond the recent historical events, things move awfully fast, sometimes at a cost to the environment and to its citizens.
Diana Knauf has made two trips to Cambodia (most recently this summer) where she spoke with experts and observed first-hand the beauty and troubles of Cambodia. Join us in discussing this country of contradictions with her. For more information about Dr. Knauf, visit our biographies page.

Please join Project Pride and the Arts and Entertainment Board on Wed., Nov. 18 in the main lobby of the PUB at 12:30 p.m. to commemorate Transgender Day of Remembrance and acknowledge that Black Trans Women are one of the most targeted groups in the United States.
According to BlackLivesMatter, the average life expectancy for Black Trans Women is 35 years. Please see this article for details of the high number of Black Trans Women killed so far in 2015.
Despite the recent epidemic of violence against Trans people in general, and Black Trans Women in particular, violent targeting of the trans community has been met with silence and erasure.
End the silence. Join us on Wed., Nov. 18 at 12:30 p.m. in the PUB lobby.
The week of Nov. 14-20 is Transgender Awareness Week. Click here to learn more about what it means to be Transgender and click here to see how you can help be an ally to the Transgender community.

The student sign up for Community Read is now live on the SLC web page here.
Don’t know what Community Read is? Read on:
Each year a new book is selected for our Community Book Read. Together we share our impressions and ideas. Weekly analyses of the text are led by a variety of college volunteers, bringing with them their unique backgrounds, expertise and perspectives. This keeps the discussion fresh, lively and relevant.
This year’s book is Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movements. Octavia’s Brood is a collection of social justice-themed science fiction stories that feature things like time travel, shape shifting, dystopian worlds, re-imaginings of “model minorities” and the possibilities of using visionary fiction to develop new ideas of future worlds. The works are inspired by the writings of Octavia Butler, an award-winning science fiction writer (Kindred, Parable of the Sower, and Lilith’s Brood) who lived in Lake Forest Park before her death in 2006.
The entire campus community is invited to read and discuss the stories inside Octavia’s Brood during winter quarter. Students will be able to receive a FREE copy of the book after signing up!
You can explore the book, its message and its authors at the library’s learning guide here.
You can find more information and a link to sign up on the SLC web page and you can also sign up to join the read here.

A message from Shoreline’s president Dr. Cheryl Roberts.
Dear Students,
The new strategic plan for Shoreline Community College is nearing its final draft for presentation to our Board of Trustees in early 2016. In forming the plan, we have witnessed unprecedented participation from hundreds of members of our campus community. There have been thoughtful and rewarding conversations with both employees and students as well as with members of our broader local and business communities. Thank you for all the work you have done thus far to shape our future!
The Strategic Plan Task Force and the Executive Leadership Team will work through the remainder of the year to refine the goals and objectives of the plan. At the same time, we want to have a discussion about our current vision and mission statements. This will allow us to inform the Board of Trustees, which sets the vision and mission of the College, that our campus community has spent time reviewing the statements for any proposed modifications. The purpose is not to propose a new vision or mission, but to ask whether anything in the current vision and mission is out of alignment with the strategic goals as they have been revised following the group discussions during Opening Week.
Laura Rehrmann, Special Assistant to the President, will facilitate two meetings to discuss the vision and mission statements. In reviewing the vision and mission, you will see the draft strategic goals as they now stand. I hope that you will be able to attend one of these sessions:
- Thursday, November 12, 3:00–4:30 p.m., Room 1402
- Tuesday, November 17, 8:30–10:00 a.m., Room 9201
There will also be an opportunity to contribute online for those who cannot attend in person.
In early winter quarter, we will share the new strategic plan with the campus community one last time, prior to presentation to the Board of Trustees. Then the work begins to join together in implementing our preferred future over the next five years.
Thank you again for your valuable participation as our strategic plan is developed. We are nearing the finish line!
Warmly,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
