Student Life attracted lots of club enthusiasts to the Main Dining Room Wednesday, November 3 where they learned about and signed up to participate in Shoreline’s numerous clubs. The fair was originally scheduled in October but was postponed due to air quality concerns that closed campus. Organizers Sundi Musnicki, Director of Student Life, and Michaela Smith, Program Manager weren’t sure whether the new time slot would bring out enough students but were delighted when so many showed. Instructor Jeff Kashiwa and his student band entertained fair attendees and others in the PUB lobby. Several campus employees commented on the excitement in the air from the vitality of returning to campus.
International Education Week 2022 will be observed throughout the country from November 14-18. is a joint initiative of the US Dept. of State and the U.S. Dept. of Education to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences.
