Sonja (Tanzania) and Blanche (Democratic Republic of the Congo) met back in 2014 at Fall Orientation and eventually started their own student organization, the African Student Club, during their time at Shoreline. The goal of the African Student Club was to create a community for Shoreline's African students and to help educate others about African cultures and countries. After graduating from Shoreline, Sonja transferred to Wichita State University to study Aerospace Engineering and Blanche transferred to University of Minnesota to study Biochemistry. They stayed in touch through texts, calls, and the occasional internet meme. This is the first time they have seen each other since graduating from Shoreline and are having a blast re-exploring Seattle together! Looking back on their time at Shoreline, they both agree that their favorite thing about Shoreline is how involved and friendly everyone is in helping students be successful and feel at home.
Welcome back, Sonja and Blanche!
Shoreline has always been a family environment, not just for our staff, but for our international students as well! Sharon, Wallace, and Mike are siblings from Hong Kong that all attended Shoreline and went on to transfer to UCSB, UW, and UCLA. We recently got the opportunity to reconnect with them since they were all in town for Mike's graduation. Here they are with very proud parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lam, and IE Advisor, Cynthia Okawara.
