Congratulations to the Class of 2014!

To celebrate the great achievements at Shoreline,  IPMs (International Peer Mentors) invited all graduates, faculty and staff to join a BBQ party at Richmond Beach Park. The park is quite close to SCC campus and a very good place to sit down, enjoy the sun, walk along the beach and have fun!

With lots of food, drinks and beautiful music, students got a chance to say “goodbye” with each other and get ready to embrace their bright future!

Congratulations to Paloma de Murga, winner of the Shoreline Athletics Mascot Logo Competition!

Paloma, an international student from Spain, is in the Visual Arts program. Asked how it felt to win the competition she said, “Winning always feels great, and knowing that my design will represent Athletics is even better. I am so grateful for the opportunity. And I can’t wait to get a t-shirt with the logo on it. Go Dolphins!”

Paloma plans to graduate with an associate’s degree in graphic design in the Spring of 2015. She is also the art editor for Shoreline’s award-winning Spindrift Art and Literary Journal.

The athletic department had been looking to rebrand the athletic logo and wanted to involve students as much as possible. With remodeling about to begin for the 3000 building, which includes the dolphin gym, the athletics program felt it was a perfect time to rebrand. That’s why they held a campus-wide contest open to all students. Among the great designs submitted, Paloma’s was chosen by a selection committee that included members of student government, visual arts faculty, student athletes and college staff from the public information office, facilities and the athletics program.

“We had several designs to chose from,” said Steve Eskridge, Interim Athletic Director. “We would like to thank all of the students that participated in the competition for their hard work and strong entries.”

Look for Paloma’s design to be featured on the athletics website, in the renovated gym, team uniforms and in many other places. For her outstanding work, Paloma will receive a $500 scholarship from the Shoreline Community College Foundation.

Ghost Atomic Pictures selected to use Shoreline Community College’s campus as the set for its latest project and client: Microsoft. The crew was filming footage on Monday, March 24 and Tuesday, March 25, for internal and online use for the local tech giant. The team chose to use Shoreline’s campus because of the modern look of the Pagoda Union Building.

Because they are filming unreleased products, details on the project were limited.

Shoreline Community College students in Engineering and Technology Society went to the Boeing Factory in Renton, WA. Students got the opportunity to tour the factory, see a plan getting made and meet with Boeing Engineers. Engineering and Technology Society is a very active club at Shoreline. Club member, Jessica reflects, “The Boeing facility tour was a really great experience. Everyone thinks engineers are socially awkward, but the ones we met were so friendly and willing to assist us. There was never an awkward moment.”

The club consists of 41 members and a popular club among international and domestic students. Students not only get the opportunity to explore the world of engineering by meeting engineers at local companies, but also meet and befriend students with similar interests. The Engineering and Technology Society is open to all students who have an interest in engineering, technology or their current project – the 3D printer.
