To make the finals (and possibly win!), 50% of our full-time employees (faculty and staff) must complete a short, anonymous online survey by May 24. Watch for the survey in your email and please follow the instructions and complete it in a timely manner. Even if we don’t win, the surveys will provide valuable data that can be used for accreditation and help make the college an even better place to work. Any questions may be directed to Kathy Vedvick.

Under the leadership of Joe Garcia, this is the college’s 13th year providing second chance opportunities to adults in transition from prison/jail. Since the 1999-2000 academic year, we have served over 7,000 clients; of those, 58% joined the workforce and 76% have remained out of jail/prison.
Some Cheese with that Wine? The Northwest Wine Academy was a patron sponsor at Taste Washington, held March 31 and April 1, at Century Link Events Center. The Wine Tasting 101 area featured food and wine pairing (including Merlot chocolates made by South’s Pastry students) and a sensory evaluation game.
22nd Annual Washington State Students of Color Conference South was represented by 19 students and advisors at the 22nd Annual Washington State Students of Color Conference held in Yakima, April 19-20. The event brings together more than 700 students from the state’s community and technical colleges and four-year institutions. It provides an exceptional opportunity for students to develop stronger academic and leadership skills and to explore multicultural issues in higher education with other students, staff, and faculty.
Summer Programs On April 25, about 40 of South’s adult evening ESL students attended a “Get Ready for Summer” event at NewHolly. Ten agencies presented information on summer programs for families and children. Mayor McGinn made a brief appearance and gave a short, enthusiastic speech to the participants. This event is the first of its kind and is the result of the collaborative efforts of the social service agencies based at NewHolly.
Metro Features South Metro bus routes moving through Seattle and the Eastside starting in mid-May will feature signs for South’s Heavy Duty Diesel Technology, Automotive Technology, and Automotive Collision programs. These programs earned EnviroStar™ certification for demonstrating a strong commitment to environmentally responsible practices.
Fan Mail to Glenn Gauthier! This email was received last week. Dear South Seattle CC Comunications Dept., Please let the photographer know how beautiful the photos on your catalog are and how much they are appreciated by the community at large. I always enjoy getting my catalog in the mail because I want to see the latest photograph to grace the cover. I know my neighbors in Southeast Seattle feel the same way. I don’t know if the same photographer(s) take all the photos for the city colleges, but South’s always seem the best!
Save The Date South’s 2012 commencement ceremony will take place at 2:30 pm, Tuesday, June 19, at Benaroya Hall. Important Note: The change in date affects the 2011-2012 instructional calendar (June 14 should be June 19).

South Hosts SkillsUSA South hosted 60 high school students from around the state on April 13, as they competed for top honors in the SkillsUSA Washington state championships. Their knowledge and skills were put to the test in four handson competitions in automotive maintenance technology and collision repair. South instructors and program assistants organized the competitions, with more than 30 of our students serving as judges. Our industry partners, Snap-On Corporation, Dupont Performance Coatings, and PartsChannel, Inc. generously donated tools, materials, and equipment.
Academic Honor Student veterans can now earn Grades & Development (G.D.) tee shirts for academic achievement. Gray shirts indicate a previous quarter GPA of 3.0-3.9, and black tees are awarded for a previous quarter 4.0 GPA. Student veteran David Diltz (L) conceived the idea and designed the logo, which is based on the concept of a bomb becoming a pen, and represents a veteran’s transition from combatant to student.

CAmPus Security Reports March 6 The victim parked his car in the South parking lot while he attended an information session on campus. When he returned, he discovered his vehicle had been hit and suffered extensive damage by another car. The victim’s vehicle had been parked just outside the range of the parking lot camera. March 8 Campus security responded to a call from the ESL department reporting that a student was the victim of a robbery at the campus bus stop. The student was approached by an individual who asked her for the time. When she used her cellphone to show the suspect the time, he grabbed it and ran towards the north side of campus. The victim was advised to call her service and shut the phone down. March 12 Security was called to respond to a report that a former student was disrupting students in the Auto Body Repair Center. The former student took off in his car, but first stopped to take a picture of another student’s truck. The Seattle Police Department was called. March 15 A student put his backpack down in the Brockey game room and shortly after it was taken by an unknown suspect. The backpack contained a debit card, which was used by the suspect that day. The victim was advised to cancel the card and call Seattle Police Department. The card was used for several subsequent transactions. April 3 A student parked his car in the South lot and proceeded to class. He believes he dropped his car keys, cellphone, and glasses on the way to class. The car was taken off campus by an unidentified suspect. Security cameras were able to capture the suspect’s car. April 6 A student placed her wallet in a locker in the Pastry lab. When she returned, she discovered the wallet was missing. A driver’s license, ORCA card, student ID, and debit card were missing. The debit card was subsequently used by the suspect. April 11 Two students were standing in the courtyard outside Bernie’s’ when the car alarm on one student’s car went off. The student noticed a vehicle backing slightly into his car. A woman got out and ran away before the student could speak to her. The student noticed there was some damage to his car and contacted Campus Security. Security noted that the woman’s car was a foot over the line and into the spot where the
student’s car was parked. The damage was limited to the bumper area. April 11 There was a report to Campus Security that two students were rolling a marijuana cigarette outside the Brockey Center. One student physically resisted being detained and was not cooperative. The student was released as his behavior was creating an unsafe environment. The two students left campus via the South lot. April 14 An attendee at a non-South event reported her laptop was missing. Campus Security checked the campus for the laptop but it was not found. April 17 Several lockers in Cascade Court were broken into and one locker suffered extensive damage. The locks had been pried open. Campus Security will contact the locker owners. April 21 A resident on the north side of the Arboretum contacted Campus Security and reported a large party going on in the Gazebo. Campus Security advised the caller to contact SPD and then drove to the Arboretum. He drove around the area checking for activity but found none. SPD arrived and encountered two individuals who appeared to be intoxicated. Neither student was detained after it was determined they were not in need of medical attention or were planning to drive their car home. One student took the bus home and SPD escorted the other to their residence. SPD did not issue a citation to either party. April 25 A student reported to Campus Security that the two tires on the passenger side of her car had been slashed. Campus Security brought the student to the automotive building and several students got the car back into driving condition. The parking lot security camera will be checked. April 26 Three lockers in the woman’s pastry restroom were broken into when the locks were cut. No items were taken, but other locks have been cut recently and several other lockers show signs of tampering. There are possible suspects, but they have not been positively identified.

Readerboard Policies South now has four electronic readerboards along 16th Avenue SW! The Public Information Office is ecstatic, but no one is happier than Tom Tower. Thank you Tom for all those years you spent climbing up a ladder and changing the signs letter by letter, in all kinds of weather.

411 on the 934 and Email Tick Tock The clock’s ticking on the old Seattle Community Colleges prefixes. Remember 587, 903, 526, 985, 763, 768, and 10 others? Their days are numbered. 934 is it!
What are we doing to notify our community? Late last year, we rolled out intercept messages for callers still using the old prefixes to reach the Seattle Community Colleges. The “courtesy connect” intercept messages advised callers that the prefix they’d dialed had changed to ‘934’, then the “courtesy connect” completed the call. Beginning in early February, this intercept changed to one that advises callers of the prefix change, but doesn’t complete the call. This will further encourage callers to use ‘934’ to reach the Seattle Community Colleges, as they’ll be advised to hang up and redial using the new prefix.
What can you do?
Guidelines regarding requesting announcements. The readerboards are for college-sponsored and college-related events. Examples include student activities, job and information fairs, wine and garden events, and visitor/special guest welcomes. Sorry, we can’t put your birthday up there.
• If you haven’t done so already, please use ‘934’ • Change your email signature to reflect the new prefix and new email address: first name.last
[email protected] • Let your students, colleagues, vendors, etc., know of the change. • Change your contact information on any distribution lists you may be a member of.
Does this change include fax numbers? Yes, fax numbers have also changed to the 934 prefix. You’ll want to change your fax cover sheet information to reflect the new number.
If you would like a readerboard announcement, please email Mary Kohl with the message wording including the name, time, place, and date of your event. Please provide as much notice as possible so your message can be scheduled in a timely manner. There are only four screens so PIO makes judgments regarding priority of placement and rotation. Last-minute situations arise when an important meeting or event has been scheduled with very little notice, which may necessitate schedule adjustments. No bells or whistles. Sorry, our official variance prohibits the use of electronic special effects like fireworks, wine corks popping, bulbs blooming, or the like. To find out more, email Mary Kohl at
[email protected] or call her at ext. 6873.
...and have a nice day!
