To celebrate International Education Week 2016, International Education is hosting a series of events, including a Photo Contest. The theme of this year’s photo contest is “travel”.

Travel can be going up north to visit the grandparents. Rick Steves says travel can be a political act. Travel is something people do for fun, for education, for work. We travel across borders, and we travel within our own countries. Submit a photo that captures one of your ideas about travel. Maybe you’ll win a prize.

The Contest is open to ALL Shoreline students. Each submitted photograph must be accompanied by a brief caption/title relating to the photo and the theme. The photograph must be a single original photo taken by the Contest entrant.

DEADLINE for Submission: Tuesday, October 25th, 2016.

Winners will be announced on November 3rd, 2016. Enter online here.

We are conducting a survey among employees and students based on the college identity project we began last winter. The goal of the project is to help us clearly define the College’s unique advantages. Some of you participated in listening sessions about the strengths, misperceptions, and descriptors of the College. Based on that information, we developed messages that describe the College.

Now we need your feedback on whether the messages developed truly do describe the College. Input from every student is important to us. If you’re already completed the survey, thank you!  If not, please complete the survey in the link below by October 17, 2016:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/shoreline-college-identity

The survey takes less than 15 minutes to complete and you will be entered into a drawing to win a $100 Amazon gift card! To register for the drawing, simply complete the contact information at the end of the survey. Providing your contact information does not impact the confidentiality of survey responses.

CLARUS Corporation is coordinating this survey on behalf of the College, and your individual responses to the survey are confidential. Your answers will be combined with others’ participating in the study, and only general data will be shared with the College. For technical questions or problems, please contact CLARUS Corporation (308.762.2565, ext. 104 or ashley@claruscorporation.com).

Thank you for helping us in this process. And remember you only have until Monday, October 17, 2016 to complete the survey and enter to win the Amazon gift card!

With gratitude,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
