Earth Week 2015 kicked off Monday with an informative speech by keynote speaker Edie Loyer-Nelson, a former trustee of SCC and current Duwamish tribal member. Edie Loyer-Nelson talked about what we mean by “Fostering an Ethic of Place” and why one needs to know who and what came before them to make sense of where we are today.

On Wednesday, April 22, 2015, the 2nd Annual EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS KIT DAY will take place in the main lobby of the PUB, Building 9000. The event occurs from 10:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. and is open to everyone.
Back by popular demand, the event supports the idea that we hope we will never have to use the kit, but a number of things could happen in our daily lives that could cause us to need an emergency kit.
Stop by to learn how to better prepare yourself for an emergency incident at work, home, and on the road. See the many ideas and options available for pre-made kits, do it yourself lists, and emergency food and water storage preparation. Take the short, fun quiz to test your knowledge on emergency readiness on campus.
We are excited to announce we will be drawing the name of the employee who attended Winter Quarter’s “Get Ready Take Action” Training and entered the drawing for a new Grab ‘n Go Emergency Kit. The kit is self-contained in a backpack with a 3 day supply of emergency products.
We are grateful to the sponsors that will be supporting this educational event, including: Shelf Reliance – Thrive Foods, Costco, Sam’s Club, the SCC Safety Committee, Student Leadership, and SCC Emergency Management.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Shoreline Community College Unified Soccer is playing at Seattle University this Saturday, April 18, 2015 at the Special Olympics College Unified Soccer Invitational. Our first game is at 11:30 a.m. and the Invitational events run from 7:45 am to 7:00 pm.
Special Olympics has a wonderful program dedicated to promoting social inclusion through shared sports training and competition experiences. It’s called Unified Sports, and it joins people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding.
While Unified Sports has been operating at the high school level for five years, this marks the first year of collegiate-level play. Sixteen colleges are participating in Saturday’s tournament, including fifteen from the state of Washington and one from Oregon. Participating Washington state colleges include, but are not limited to, Gonzaga, University of Washington, Western Washington University, Walla Walla Community College, Pacific Lutheran University and Shoreline.
In Unified Sports, having a sport in common is just one more way that preconceptions and false ideas are swept away. Shoreline Community College is proud to be a part of an amazing coalition of students and colleges from all over the region, as well as respected guests and the Seahawks marching band!
Who are the players on SCC’s Unified Soccer team? Student athletes from the SCC Varsity Soccer team, Melissa and Autumn, students from Shoreline CC Erik and Mikhail, student volunteer coaches, SamSam and Thuy, students from the Shoreline School District, Mackenzie, and former SCC student Sean. They will take part in a day-long soccer invitational tournament at Seattle University on April 18. Come out and cheer for your school at 11:30 a.m. on soccer field #3. Be a part of a movement!

Join us this Friday, April 17 in the FOSS (5000) bldg., room 5116 from 1-2:30 p.m. for a Job Seekers’ Rountable exploring how to make new contacts without networking.
Various tests abound on the internet that can place us into extrovert/introvert-based categories. Maybe you’ve taken a Myers Briggs or one of the many others.
Some of us are quite social and fun, we just need to be more selective. Others can chat at a party just fine, but aren’t too big on small talk.
And there are still some of us who get waves of anxiety at the mere thought of networking, which sounds to us like meaningless glad handing, with all involved pretending there are no personal agendas. Some of us don’t want to show for networking events for risk of being rejected, or feeling like we don’t have anything new or interesting to say.
What if you could make connections for volunteering or learning about job opportunities, in person, and without all the “salesy” job search baggage?
This Friday, Ron Carnell will lead the discussion about how to make new contacts without the assumptions or pressures of an agenda. We’ll share resources about how to get connected more casually. All this over the usual great coffee and treats, compliments of Central Market.
See you Friday!
And as always, Good Luck Out There!

We need your clean recyclables!
Next week’s Earth Week activity “Making recycled art” will run all week long and encourage participants to make art out of recyclables. To make this event a success, we’re asking you to help us collect enough “art supplies” by donating your clean recyclables to be turned into someone else’s masterpiece. You can help all this week and next, by bringing your clean recyclables from home to the PUB 1st Floor, Room 9102. There should be a bin set up inside that room to collect the recyclables – if the bin is full, please tuck them in the back corner fairly out of the way.
We need CLEAN plastics, bottles, jars, cardboard, etc. – anything recyclable will do.
Thank you for helping make this event a success!
