Join us for Lunar New Year Celebration!

January 29, 2014

 On January 30, 2014, the International Education department teamed up with the Confucius Institute of Washington State to offer a traditional Chinese Spring Festival celebration on campus. Over 480 students, faculty and staff attended the Chinese Lunar New Year celebration.  Participants learned how to make Chinese dumplings and paper-cuts and also write Chinese calligraphy.

This event was made possible by a grant the College received from the Confucius Institute of Washington to promote Chinese language and culture on campus and in the community.

“We are thankful for these kinds of opportunities to promote cultural awareness and global understanding,” said Diana Sampson, Executive Director of International Education.  According to Spring Festival tradition, 2014 is the year of horse. People who are born in the year of horse are often described as friendly, positive, sophisticated, bright, cheerful, popular and fun loving. We wish everyone a Happy Lunar New Year, prosperity and success in the Year of the Horse.

Winter ISOP 2014！

January 3, 2014
We have the 2014 Winter International Student Orientation Program (ISOP) this entire week. Over 100 students and parents from different countries and continents come to our campus to embark their new journey in the US.
For many of them, this is their first time in the US. They are nervous about the new environment, but excited for the challenges. They are anxious about the unknowns, but anticipating the opportunities. Please see the pictures and share our students’ excitement.
Shoreline President Daryl Campbell gave the welcoming remarks. This is probably the first “seminar” for our students. What we have learned? Raise hands, participate and engage! We have started our journey here at Shoreline.
Start here, go anywhere!
You may learn more from #ISOP on Tagboard…

The 23 member Shoreline Community College team ran/walked 5K (3 mile) with 1,022 people on the morning of December 8th in downtown Seattle.
