Shoreline students and faculty prepare to take an Earth Day Nature Walk led by Professor Matt Loper.
Tuesday’s Earth Week events were awesome, with a talk on Racial/Restrictive Covenants by Shoreline’s own Dr. J, a showing of the powerful film “Princess Angeline,” which is an examination of the story of the Duwamish people told through the life of the daughter of Chief Seattle, and a nature walk through the gorgeous Boeing Creek Park that borders Shoreline’s campus.
Since Wed., April 22 is the actual day of Earth Day in the midst of this Earth Week celebration, it’s gonna be a doozy! What’s coming up?
From 8:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., the PUB Quiet Dining Room (9208) is all about Advocacy and Civic Engagement with Amp Your Voice! a workshop that equips students with some powerful advocacy and civic engagement tools.
From 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., the PUB Courtyard will be home to the Shoreline Farmers Market and sustainable Shoreline Community Groups showcasing their wares.
From 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., the Deep Roots Community Garden will be doing a seedling giveaway in the garden North of the 2700 building. Get a free seedling and learn how to make seed starting pots from newspaper and get information about open pollination and seed saving.
Also during this event in the Deep Roots Community Garden, from 11:15 a.m. – 12:45 p.m., Patty Pan Cooperative will be on site with cooperatively made Free organic Grilled Veggies (with some from our own Deep Roots Garden). They’ll be given away to raise awareness about the importance of locally sourced organic foods.
From 1:30-3:30 p.m., the PUB Quiet Dining Room (9208) will turn into a movie house with a showing of Soylent Green, a 1973 film that presents a dystopic future New York City, ravaged by overpopulation, the runaway greenhouse effect and a global food shortage. The film touches on themes of environmental and ecological responsibility, power structures, and social justice in times of climate change, economic shortage, the ethics of human resources and food production. A discussion will follow the film.
All week long during Earth Week you can stop by the PUB room 9102 and make art out of recycled materials. Also throughout the week don’t forget to turn in any of your old, unwanted electronics to one of three electronic recycling stations set up around campus. Electronic recycling stations are in the PUB lobby (by the whale), the Theater lobby and the lobby of the 2800 bldg.

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! Want to get involved? Become a Special Olympics volunteer, check out at: http://specialolympicswashington.org/.
