Seven years as college leaderin Salem, Ore.

Shoreline Community College

Cheryl Roberts will be the next president of Shoreline Community College.

“I’m thrilled to be joining a premier college that is fo-cused on students and stu-dent achievement,” Roberts said. “There’s an indomitable spirit at Shoreline.”

On a motion by Trustee Tayloe Washburn, the Board on Monday, April 21, voted unanimously to offer the po-sition to Roberts. Under the recently finalized three-year contract, Roberts will be paid $200,000 a year. Roberts will receive a set amount to help defray expenses related to moving from the Salem, Ore-area where she is now Presi-dent at Chemeketa Community College. She’ll also get another six days of annual leave beyond the normal amount stipu-lated for administrative-exempt employ-ees at the college.

Roberts has signed the board-negotiat-ed and approved contract offer that will

now go to the trustees for the formality of board signatures at the regular June meeting.

Roberts’ start date will be Aug. 18. Interim President Daryl Campbell has committed to stay beyond his current contract, which runs through June 30, to help make the transition as seamless as

possible. “I think we are getting one of the great

ones,” Trustee Phil Barrett said follow-ing the April 21 vote.

Exchange agreement with Shoreline will benefit community, students and staff


Shoreline Community College has signed a landmark agreement with BELTEI International University in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

“We’re very excited to be BELTEI’s first American partner,” Shoreline’s Interim President Daryl Campbell said. “BELTEI’s focus on the needs of students, the community and busi-ness and industry matches that of Shoreline Community College.

“This agreement is another step for-ward in Shoreline’s internationaliza-tion initiative,” Campbell said. “One in three jobs in Washington is depen-dent on international trade. By ad-dressing global competencies for our students, we better prepare them to find success in the global economy.”

BELTEI is a private university de-veloped by BELTEI International In-stitute founded in 2002. President Ly Chheng is the founder and Director-General of the BELTEI group and President of BELTEI International University. BELTEI International Institutes have opened 13 campus-es across Phenom Penh, Cambodia’s capital.

The agreement was signed April 22, 2014 during a ceremony at the main

Phnom Penh campus. “The event was phenomenal and drew significant at-tention from the media in Cambodia,” Campbell said.

At the signing, President Chheng said the memorandum of understand-ing will help students obtain the knowledge and skills needed to com-pete in national and international la-bor markets, become good leaders and understand more about cultures and civilizations of other countries.

The agreement calls for:Sharing best practices in teaching,

and learning to advance U.S.-Cambo-dia relations through higher educa-tion;• Developing Khmer and English

language and culture programs to promote cross-cultural under-standing and global competencies;

• Increasing exchange of students between the U.S. and Cambodia to develop future leaders and global citizens who can meet the chal-lenges of the 21st century;

• Increasing exchange of faculty to engage in joint research, curricu-lum development, and teaching methodologies to advance global education and initiatives;

• Increasing exchange of education-al leaders and administrators to initiate global partnerships and identify resources to develop sus-tainable international programs; and

• Exploring other areas of mutual interest and agreement between BELTEI University and Shoreline Community College.

As a result of the agreement, Shore-line Executive Director for Interna-tional Education Diana Sampson said that Shoreline could see Cambodian students on campus as early as this fall.

BELTEI was recognized with a pres-tigious TAYO ASEAN Award for their contribution to serving youth and the

Cantwell will be speaker atgraduation


U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell will be the keynote speaker at the 50th Anni-versary Commencement for Shoreline Community College.

The graduation ceremonies are scheduled for 2 p.m., Sunday, June 8, in the college gymnasium.

“We are honored to have Sen. Cantwell on our campus and speaking to our graduates,” Interim President Daryl Campbell said. “Sen. Cantwell’s record of service to our community, state and country is long and distin-guished. Her words and wisdom will be of great benefit to our students.”

Sen. Cantwell was 28 when she be-gan her political career while living in Mountlake Terrace and winning a seat in the Washington State House of Representatives in 1986. She served three terms in Olympia before mak-ing the leap to the U.S. House in 1992, becoming the first Democrat elected to the 1st Congressional District seat in 40 years.

After one term in Washington, D.C., Sen. Cantwell went to work for Real-Networks as vice president of mar-keting. Returning to politics, Sen. Cantwell has served since defeating then-incumbent Sen. Slade Gorton in 2000, Mike McGavick in 2006 and state Sen. Michael Baumgartner in 2012.

Founded in 1964, Shoreline is mark-ing 50 years of preparing students with the education and training they need for their next steps in life.

Task force will take on carbon reduction


Gov. Jay Inslee came to Shore-line Community College to sign an executive order intended to reduce carbon pollution in Washington and push for clean energy technologies.

At an April 29, 2014 press confer-ence in the Professional Automo-tive Training Center, Inslee signed an executive order to establish the Carbon Emissions Reduction Task-force composed of 21 leaders from business, labor, health and public interest organizations. The group will provide recommendations to the governor on design and implementa-tion of a market-based carbon pollu-tion program.

Inslee then kicked off the first meeting of the task force immedi-ately following the press event. The Governor directed the taskforce to consider measures to offset costs to consumers and businesses and to design strategies to help energy-intensive industries transition from carbon-based energy sources.

Rod Brown of the Cascadia Law Group and Ada Healey of Vulcan will co-chair the taskforce. Final recom-mendations are due Nov. 21, 2014.

Shoreline Board of Trustees Chair Shoubee Liaw welcomed Inslee to campus, first at the Clean Energy Technology Center and again to in-troduce him at the press conference. Joining college officials at the clean-energy center were Shoreline Mayor Shari Winstead and City Manager Debbie Tarry.

Attendees at the press conference included a number of legislators, including Sen. Maralyn Chase and Rep. Ruth Kagi from the 32nd Dis-trict. Also attending were Rep. Hans Dunshee, Chair of the House Capital Budget Committee; Rep. Joe Fitzgib-bon, Chair of the Environment Com-mittee; Sen. Kevin Ranker, ranking member on Ways & Means; Sen. David Frockt, a member of Ways & Means and Higher Education; Sen. Christine Rolfes, a member, Early Learning & K-12 and Education.

Industry representatives attend-ing included Steve Klein, of Klein Honda and President of the Puget Sound Auto Dealers Association, Glenn Grossenbacher, of Snap-on

Industrial, and Gary Shaver, CEO of Silicon Energy. Shaver’s Marysville-based company manufactured the solar panel that served as the desk on which Inslee signed the executive order establishing the task force.

In her comments before the press conference, Chair Liaw noted that automotive center was the perfect place for Inslee’s initiative to reduce carbon emissions.

“Transportation is responsible for the majority of fuel use in this country,” Liaw said. “In this facility, we train the best technicians in the world on the latest technologies in the world to reduce our fuel usage and move toward other, more sus-tainable energy sources.

“Sustainability is not just about generating clean energy, but also learning how to use less of tradition-al energy sources and that’s what this program and our many industry partners are committed to doing.”

ROBERTS,From Page 1

lem, Ore., a position she’s held since 2007. Roberts previously served as Vice President for Instruction at South Se-attle Community College. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Seattle University, a Master of Arts in Student Personnel Administration in Higher Education from Ohio State University and a Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership from Seat-tle University.

Roberts is a member of the Board of Directors for the American Association of Community Colleges.

In 2008, Roberts led a successful ef-fort to pass a $92 million construction bond for Chemeketa that had failed just two years earlier. Since then, Rob-erts has overseen the upgrading of existing facilities and building of new ones across the multi-campus district. Projects include a health sciences cen-ter, an industrial technology building and a classroom building, an emergency services training building and additional classrooms.

Shoreline has been working toward a privately funded student housing facility and recently made the list for state funding that would build a replace-ment allied health/sciences/manufacturing building.

Since June, 2013, Shoreline has been under the leadership of Campbell, who took over when Lee Lambert left for Pima Community College in Tuc-son, Ariz. Campbell had been the Vice President for Academic Services since 2008. In establishing the search process, Shoreline’s board decided that who-ever filled the interim position, which turned out to be Campbell, wouldn’t be eligible for permanent hire.

“I congratulate the board and the college on the se-lection of Dr. Roberts as Shoreline’s next president,” Campbell said. “Her knowledge of Washington’s com-munity college system, vision and long track record

of success at Chemeketa combine to create exactly the right formula to propel Shoreline Community College forward. I will work closely with Dr. Roberts over the next few months to assist a seamless transi-tion.”

During the transition, Liaw, Campbell and Roberts stressed that the objective is to continue to serve stu-dents, make progress on the existing strategic ini-tiatives and move the college forward based on the vision, mission and core themes.

“The administrators, staff and faculty at Shoreline are second to none,” Liaw said. “As a board, our goal was to find a leader who can work with our incred-ible Shoreline community and continue to build this institution to the benefit of our students. While to some a transition can be unsettling, there should be no question about the direction of this college.”

Campbell reiterated that sentiment, saying he will stay focused on immediate tasks and smooth transi-

tion.“I’m proud of the role I’ve been able to play – along

with faculty, staff and my fellow administrators – in the success this college has in serving students,” Campbell said. “I will continue to be focused on the significant and important work at hand while also coordinating with the board and incoming president Roberts to assure this transition is as smooth as pos-sible.”

Roberts added that the focused attitude illustrates why she wanted the job in the first place.

“The drive, commitment to students and excellence and sense of community are what drew me to Shore-line,” Roberts said. “I’m looking forward to joining such a dedicated and innovative group. Together, we can continue to grow from the great work that has been done and dive into the work that lay before us with confidence of direction and support.”

Members of the Shoreline City Council and city staff came to Shoreline Community College on Friday, April 11, 2014, as part of the council’s annual strategic planning meeting.

The contingent from the city toured the col-lege theater, soon-to-open black-box production facility and got a look at the proposed location for on-campus student housing. Shoreline digi-tal filmmaking and acting faculty member Tony Doupe led the city council and staff members on the tour.

The theater and black-box locations were of particular interest to council members because the city, college and college foundation are col-laborating on the Shoreline Film Office. The joint effort is leveraging the college’s strong programs in digital film, acting, visual arts, music performance and music technology and the city’s efforts to be a sustainable focal point for film and digital arts industries.

Although less than a year old, the Shoreline Film Office has been successful in drawing a number of feature, corporate and commercial film projects to the college and city.

While other colleges are closing film and theater programs, Shoreline Community College is expanding its commitment to students, the arts and the community.

Later this spring, a new and versatile “black box” media production studio will open for college and community-based projects. The college is combining several under-used areas into a flexible space for video production and live performance. When the studio is completed in June, it will include professional lighting, audio and video equipment, a large green-screen wall and portable risers with seating for about 50 people.

The new studio space also supports the Shoreline Film Office, a collaborative ef-fort of the City of Shoreline’s Office of Eco-nomic Development, the college and the Shoreline Community College Foundation.

“Creating this space makes sense for our students,” said Interim President Daryl Campbell. “We’re also supporting industry and the economic development plans of our city.”

The mission of the film office is to make Shoreline a recognized hub of the media industry by providing world-class venues and professional education and training. Launched in May, 2013, the film office acts as broker for both college and city services, incentives, venues and produc-tion support for local film, gaming, the-ater and sound professionals.

The Shoreline campus studio, venues and resources are available to media pro-fessionals for a nominal charge, especially to those willing to create a laboratory ex-perience for students. To learn more, con-tact the SFO at (206) 546-5829 or at [email protected].


Shoreline Community College is well-represented on silver screens across the region at the huge Seattle International Film Festival and the adjacent and quirky Seattle True In-dependent Film Festival.

“I am extremely pleased to announce that between the two festivals, Shore-line film students, recent alumni and faculty worked on at least 19 movies!” said Kris Boustedt, faculty member in Shoreline’s digital filmmaking pro-gram. “That’s amazing, and I’m prob-ably missing some!”

The Seattle International Film Fes-tival (SIFF) is the largest and most highly attended festival in the United States and runs May 15-June 8. For this, the festival’s the 40th anniversa-ry, organizers have announced screen-ings of 440 films: 198 features (plus four secret films), 60 documentaries, 14 archival films, and 168 shorts, representing 83 countries. The films include 44 world premieres (20 fea-tures, 24 shorts), 30 North American premieres (22 features, eight shorts), and 14 U.S. premieres (eight features and six shorts).

The Seattle True Independent Film Festival (STIFF) began screenings on May2, serving as a sort of lead-in to SIFF. The festival was founded eight

years ago for films that didn’t fit into the programs of mainstream film fes-tivals. The organizing filmmakers are dedicated to independent, under-ground, experimental and zero-bud-get films.

Program director and faculty mem-ber Tony Doupé said the festivals pro-vide an opportunity for our students to not only see great films, but get their own work the screen and see that their talents and skills are com-petitive with the best in the world.

“Our faculty members are actively working in the film industry,” Doupé said. “We’re teaching the skills that students will need to get jobs in film and giving them hands-on experience while still in school.”

Shoreline Community College and the City of Shoreline are collaborating on the Shoreline Film Office, an ef-fort to attract more film work to area. “Being able to say to filmmakers that the college and the city are friendly to film is a great step toward bringing projects that benefit our students and the local economy,” Doupé said.

Shoreline is also supporting lo-cal filmmakers by sponsoring SIFF’s Northwest Connections program, a collection of films that are rooted in the fertile Pacific Northwest film com-munity.
