Dear Student,
As part of an ongoing effort to clearly define the College’s identity, our position in comparison to other Community Colleges, and to better communicate with our students and communities we serve, we have asked the Clarus Group to build upon their successful work conducted this past fall to increase enrollment and retain our students through to completion. Listening sessions are organized by constituency group. The schedule of sessions for students is as follows:
Wednesday, January 27:
10:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. in the Admin bldg. (1000) Board Room 1010M
Thursday, January 28:
10:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. in the Admin bldg. (1000) Board Room 1010M
Pizza will be served in each session and you may feel free to bring your lunch if you’d like. Student input is extremely important and will help us make our communication efforts more successful.
The sessions have been structured in such a way to allow you to voice your opinions about your impressions of the identity of the college in the community. The Clarus Group representative will visit with you about:
- Descriptors of the College (both positive and negative)
- Unique strengths of the College
- Icons and images that best describe the College
- Promises/expectations made by the College to the students and communities we serve
- Competition for the College and misperceptions about the College – again both positive and negative
The results of these sessions will be used to convey the benefits the College provides to both the individual student and our communities as well as provide a consistent, integrated message of our College’s Vision and Mission. Other sessions include our faculty and employees, donors, alumni, transfer partners, business and community leaders, high school students, Board of Trustees and the Foundation Board of Directors.
Please reply to this posting with YES you will be able to attend or NO you will not be able to attend to mbrueggeman@shoreline.edu. We will send a reminder email prior to the listening session.
Thank you so much for your help and we look forward to seeing you at one of the sessions listed above.
Warm Regards,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

Understanding Test Anxiety: Wed., Jan. 27 from 12:30-1:30 p.m. in PUB 9102.
Does the following sound like you?
You’ve participated in class, done all of your homework, studied hard, and you think you have a grip on the material. But then the day of the test comes. Suddenly, you blank out, freeze up, zone out, or feel so nervous that you can’t get it together to respond to those questions you knew the answers to just last night.
If this sounds like you, you may have a case of test anxiety — that nervous feeling that people sometimes get when they’re about to take a test.
It’s pretty normal to feel a little nervous and stressed before a test. Just about everyone does. And a touch of nervous anticipation can actually help you keep you at peak performance while you’re taking the test. But for some people, this normal anxiety is more intense. The nervousness they feel before a test can be so strong that it interferes with their concentration or performance.
Learn more about test anxiety and walk away with a few tips to help reduce anxiety and do your best on that next test or exam!
Workshop is open to all and no RSVP needed.
