Shoreline Community College student earns prominent state-wide recognition

Thursday, January 26, 2023

Former Shoreline Community College (Shoreline) student Zubeir Abdi was one of the 31 community and technical college students honored by the Washington State Association of Trustees (ACT) Monday night at the annual Transforming Lives Awards ceremony, a highly prestigious state system-wide recognition.

The annual ceremony recognizes current and former students of community and technical colleges whose lives were transformed by attending their college. Shoreline's Board of Trustees chose Abdi as its sole nominee.

Shoreline trustees Rebecca Chan and Rebecca Ringer noted the articulation in Abdi’s written statement, which served as part of the winners’ application.

“Zubeir was able to express the enormous challenge he faced as an immigrant, learning a new language and cultural institutions,” said Chan. “His statement eloquently described his impressive ability to set goals and do the work to achieve them.”

A key aspect of Abdi’s statement, Ringer said, was how he maintained a positive attitude when faced with failure while finding the grit to try again. Likewise, Abdi was able to find and utilize mentors to achieve success on campus, as evidenced by his role as Math Club President.

Among the 31 students honored, six were selected by the ACT as keynote speakers. The six keynote speakers will receive $500 from ACT, and the winners will receive $250.

Shoreline Community College and Faculty Union settle contract dispute dating to 2017

Saturday, December 10, 2022

Statement from Shoreline Community College

Shoreline Community College (Shoreline) and our American Federation of Teachers (AFT) faculty union have recently come to a settlement agreement that will provide a lump sum payment to Shoreline faculty members, as specified by AFT, bringing closure to a contract dispute dating back to 2017.

By design, the faculty union is organized to advocate for better wages, benefits, and working conditions for faculty members. This means that the college and the AFT will occasionally be at odds with each other despite our shared goal of providing Shoreline students with the best educational experience possible. 

Shoreline values its faculty and is committed to a partnership with AFT to ensure faculty members are fairly and appropriately compensated for their work. While the college is steadfast that it properly interpreted and applied the 2017-2019 Collective Bargaining Agreement, AFT has been equally steadfast in maintaining that the college’s calculations were not done as intended. The parties worked cooperatively to obtain a compromise solution to this dispute to settle the matter and move forward together. 

At Shoreline, we believe in a spirit of intellectual honesty, free speech, and fostering an environment where our faculty, staff and students are welcome to disagree and challenge each other. We are pleased to have resolved this matter and look forward to the continued partnership with our faculty and AFT into the future.

Shoreline Community College rises in national ranking for international students

Tuesday, December 6, 2022

International Tea and Coffee Tasting event was a fun way to share different cultures

Shoreline Community College (Shoreline) ranked 13th among community colleges in the U.S. for international students hosted, according to the annual Open Doors report for 2021-22. Since 2005, Shoreline has been a leading institution for hosting international students among community colleges, ranking 16th overall in the report just last year.

Shoreline President Dr. Jack Kahn said he is incredibly pleased with this recognition of the college's international program.

“As a new leader here, I am continually impressed with the outreach efforts to recruit diverse international students and the genuine care that goes into supporting them throughout their academic journey,” said Kahn. 
“We have even more in store in forming stronger ties with our international population to ensure a broad local community of support and encouragement!”

Although Shoreline, like most other schools, experienced declines in actual numbers of international students during the pandemic, the higher ranking reflects how well the college and its International Education department performed during these turbulent times.

The U.S. welcomed almost a million international students to its universities and colleges in 2021/22, a 3.8% increase from 2020/21 and an 11.8% decrease from 2019/20 (pre-pandemic). These international students also contributed $33.8 billion to the U.S. economy during the year.

While international student enrollment is rebounding across the country, community colleges have seen the steepest decline and are experiencing the slowest recovery compared to other institutional types. 

Yet, Shoreline has demonstrated its ability to respond to shifting tides and worldwide competition. Associate Vice President of International Education and Global Engagement Samira Pardanani says she and her team are excited to engage with our overseas and local partners, parents, and prospective students and grow back enrollments after the impacts of the pandemic.

Of the approximately 1,500 community colleges in the country, only a small number boast significant international student enrollments. Community colleges that want to host students from around the world must be ready to create an infrastructure and offer specialized services that allow them to recruit and retain this unique population.

One of Shoreline’s biggest draws for international students is its academic and university transfer advising. Most of the college’s international students complete their associate degree at Shoreline and transfer to competitive universities across the U.S. While most resident students prefer to transfer to in-state universities, international students transfer to almost 200 universities around the country.

Shoreline academic advisors serving international students are experts at preparing students to transfer to out-of-state universities such as the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), and the University of Michigan, as well as the University of Washington. Additionally, Shoreline academic advisors know the myriad immigration regulations that international students must follow to maintain their U.S. status.

The college’s international alumni often speak fondly about their time there and their deep connections with faculty, staff and fellow students. 

Having students from 64 countries on campus presents many opportunities for local students to engage with different cultures, learn about issues impacting other regions of the globe and make new friends. 

This was on full display at a recent International Tea and Coffee Tasting event, where resident and international students, along with faculty, staff and community members, stopped by to sample different beverages and learn about the history and culture of the region. The event launched the college’s celebration of International Education Week.
