🇰🇷 Student Spotlight: Seyoung from Korea
Seyoung joined Shoreline’s High School Completion Program in Fall 2025 and has quickly become an active member of our campus community. She studies full-time, plays sports, and has an on-campus job.
“Since arriving in the United States alone at age 17, I have had many opportunities to become deeply involved in the Shoreline College community. As a business student, I balance academics with my work as front desk assistant in the International Education Department and my participation on the women’s soccer team. Through my involvement on campus, I have experienced the global perspective, determination, and community spirit that define Shoreline students.”
