The February 25, 2015 and March 4, 2015 minutes were approved.
Cheryl shared that the new Shoreline Scholars program will be announced on March
27 th . This program offers two-year scholarships to students who meet the minimum criteria and reside within the Shoreline School District boundaries. The first cohort will have 50 students. This is an investment in the community that the college serves.
A tentative timeline was shared, and further details will be forthcoming.
Benefits of the program include:

Attracting students with strong record of academic achievement

Service to high-potential, low-opportunity students

Public demonstration about support of high school seniors in the district

Potential for student ambassadors and outreach

Publicity – no other programs like this in the state

Opportunity to engage the larger community
It was noted that the scholarships will be available to students in any academic/proftech program.
John Backes shared information on the Foundation’s major funding areas. These are largely divided between scholarships and program support. There was a discussion about requesting use of the money; John noted that funds are generally donor-advised in regards to spending.
Ann added that some funds are set up but have no money in them. The group was encouraged to meet with Lynn Yaw, Laura, or Ann to look over program funds and how they are spent. Laura added that a new campaign will be announced in the next few months.
John shared he would like to create a Yearly Report but he does not know when that will happen. Part of his work is to regularly communicate with the college and receive feedback.

Presenter Discussion
Bob/Bayta Bayta reported that the Dean Team will receive access to review aSAPs on March 20 th instead of April 1 st . Presentations will take place at the meetings on April 3 rd and 7 th .
Dean Team will do a rating that is independent of the Strategic Planning & Budget
Committee; both sets of ratings will be submitted to ELT.
Bob Bob reiterated the excitement for the upcoming Shoreline Scholars program. This is aimed at the perceived need of increasing domestic enrollment.
There was a discussion about current hiring practices and related discussions happening around campus. Bob shared that the college should be intentional in its recruiting efforts; this involves posting position announcements as well as in-person recruiting at association conferences. There was a discussion about hiring practices that may be off-putting to candidates, such as scripted recitation of interview questions and needing to reimburse travel costs if a job offer is not accepted.
It was noted that a priority list will be created regarding new-hires in order to be early in the “hiring cycle.” Consultant Bob Hughes will be working with the campus to affirm the administration’s commitment to diversity and further enhance a culture of equity and inclusion.
