There’s nothing more refreshing on a warm and sunny spring day than a pie in the face, right?
On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday last week (May 20-22), Shoreline’s Student Leadership Center held their annual Sunfest celebration. During Sunfest, there are many performances and activities for students, as well as free food and drinks! On each of these days, the courtyard was crowded with students enjoying the beautiful weather and having fun.
There was a pie eating contest, in which people see who can eat a whole pie the fastest without using their hands:
Students also had the chance to tie-dye shirts (tie-dye is a way of making a super colorful shirt):
And there was a big bouncy obstacle course for people to race through:
One student club, the HEROES Club, held a creative fundraiser for victims of the earthquake in Nepal. Students could buy paper plates full of whipped cream to smash in the faces of staff and student volunteers. In all, they collected almost $200!
What’s better than watching a good movie?
Going to the movie theater with your friends for free! Right now is the beginning of Summer Movie Blockbuster Season, a time when lots of movies are released. Shoreline student organizations and clubs have done some free movie events. The International Peer Mentors took students to see Avengers: Age of Ultron and HEROES Club hosted a Pitch Perfect 2 showing. Students enjoyed the opportunity to watch a movie and meet new friends at the same time.
International education professionals and college faculty members from around Washington State gathered at Shoreline Community College on Friday, May 1 for the spring quarter Northwest International Education Association (NIEA) meeting.
At this quarter’s meeting, NIEA’s mini-grant program was a main agenda item. NIEA offers mini-grants of up to $1,250 to faculty at member colleges to internationalize curriculum. The results of the projects are collected so that others throughout the member network can learn from and possibly adapt the curricula for their own courses.
This year’s awardees are: Melissa Delikat of Peninsula College; Paul Suozzo of Centralia College; Heather Frankland of Pierce College; David Such of Spokane Community College; Eric Basham of Tacoma Community College. The total amount of grants awarded is $4,750.
Also discussed was the Community College Master Teacher Institute, an annual two-day workshop that NIEA offers in partnership with the University of Washington Center for Global Studies. The Institute focuses on different global themes each year, and seeks to help college faculty to bring international issues into their classrooms.
Since 1979, NIEA has worked to promote international exchange, global engagement, and multicultural understanding at higher education institutions throughout the Pacific Northwest. There are currently 15 member colleges.

On a Sunday afternoon in mid-April, a bunch of friends and I went to Skagit Valley, Washington, to see the tulip festival. The drive took us roughly an hour, but the beautiful countryside scenery we saw made the long journey worth it. We saw barns, tractors, crop fields, even cows and horses along the road – things we do not normally see in the city. At one point we even got the chance to see the snowcapped peak of Mount Rainier, Washington’s most famous mountain.
We arrived shortly before two in the afternoon, and the tulips were really a sight to see. Rows and rows of tulips, all of different colors; there were tulips in various shades of red, white, yellow, purple, pink and orange, just to name a few. Visitors roamed around the field, taking pictures while marveling at the flowers. My friends and I joined the crowd of visitors and took pictures amongst the colorful tulips.
The trip was one of the best experiences I have had here in Seattle. The weather was perfect, the flowers were gorgeous, and I was making memories with some of my closest friends. It was a wonderful and fun experience for me!
Shoreline Community College offered individual scholarship to international students who meet the eligibility criteria and who will be continuing their education at Shoreline Community College during spring quarter 2015.
On April 10th, International Education collaborated with SCC Foundation celebrating 13 international students’ success in Quiet Dining Room. We are very proud of those international students’ academic excellence, personal achievement and community engagement!

Shoreline’s DECA 2015 team returned from the Collegiate DECA Pacific Northwest Career Development Conference held Feb. 19-21 in Victoria, BC with five first place wins, making this year’s team the most decorated in recent memory.
Of the 17 students representing Shoreline in 13 different events at this year’s conference, 15 students placed third or better. All 17 Shoreline participants qualified for the 2015 Collegiate DECA International Career Development Conference, April 17-22, in Orlando, Fla. The International Conference will involve 1,200 students from Canada, China and the United States.
DECA has been active at Shoreline Community College since 1966 and this is the best overall finish by our students since 1992. This year’s performance is made all the more impressive by the fact that this marked the first year competing for most of DECA 2015’s members — only one of the several first-place-winning team members is a second-year DECA competitor.
In addition, the team competing in the category of Emerging Technologies, made up of Nicolas Ho and (MJ) Munkhjargal Jambalsuren, both first-year DECA students, even managed to receive a perfect score of 100 points from each of their three judges. They earned this top score despite a setback that caused Ho to have to present his and Jambalsuren’s presentation alone.
DECA faculty advisor David Starr said, “It has been an honor to work with such an outstanding group of students who have successfully represented Shoreline’s commitment to excellence in their international competition.”
Shoreline’s State Finalists were:
Nicholas Ho, 1st Place, Emerging Technologies
Xanne Sarka and Yvonne Hill, 1st Place, Entrepreneurship
Jessica Irby, 1st Place, Hospitality Marketing
Kenneth Lo and Pei-Chen Wang, 1st Place, International Marketing
Dominic Dumas, 1st Place, Professional Selling
Omar Marouf and Liem Nguyen, 2nd Place, Sports & Entertainment Marketing
Spiridon Pappas and Simran Sandhu, 2nd Place, International Marketing
Shaina Hibbert, 2nd Hospitality Marketing
Teisha Billings, 2nd Place, Human Resource Management
Resmin Sengider, 2nd Place, Advertising Campaign
Rachel Degginer, 3rd Place, Retail Management
Also qualifying for the International Conference were:
Suzette Dutton, Entrepreneurship
Lisa Yang, Professional Selling
