Helping You Plan Your

Academic Career

Georgetown PathwayThe Georgetown Campus was awarded a 14-month, $200,000 grant to implement a Pathway Through Apprenticeship initiative. The project is one of just three funded statewide, and focuses on entry-level employees with low math skills and no GED. The training will prepare them to enter or complete the Aerospace Joint Apprenticeship Committee (AJAC) apprentice program. A second component focuses on current first- and second-year apprentices interested in pursuing a college degree. This project is a partnership between the Georgetown Campus, AJAC, Puget Sound Educational Service District (PSESD), the Council on Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM&AW).

Chopsticks now in the CafeteriaThe United Student Association together with Chef

Scribner (pictured with South’s former USA president, Dante Obcena) surveyed students during API Heritage week and

discovered there was a need for chopsticks in the cafeteria. They even asked what color they would prefer! The choice

was green and they are available now.

Pedal On!Seventeen employees and 4 students participated in team activities related to National Bike to Work month. Team Vicious Cycles clocked in 59 round trips but Team Fibonacci logged the most mileage, 839.2. The tiebreaker went to Team Vicious Cycles with the highest team commute rate. The teams together pedaled an impressive 1,603.70 miles!

Team Vicious Cycles

Individual honors went to MVP Mike Steffancin of Team Fibonacci for most miles, 392.8. Mike also clocked in the most round trips at 17, and the best commute rate of 85%. Seven bikers met their personal round trip and mileage goals.

Hydroplane Make-overAutomotive Collision Repair students were given the opportunity to completely make-over part of Seattle history. While the students were stripping off old paint, applying new color and graphics, students in Heavy Duty Diesel and Automotive Technology were performing major maintenance on the truck that will eventually tow the Hydro across the U.S. during the racing season. The boat is owned by Billy Schumacher (“Billy the Kid”) the former unlimited champion driver. Schumacher Racing paid a shop fee and materials costs for the student project. The Miss Beacon Plumbing boasts the South Seattle Community College name and logo on its sides. It will be competing throughout the US this season, including the Seafair Unlimited Hydroplane race in August. Let’s cheer for “our” hydro!

Con-graduations!

South held several campus events Memorial Day week. Dorsal Plants led a ceremony at the flagpole to honor our fallen veterans.

Instructor (and veteran) Bob Dela-Cruz organized a campuswide slide show which displayed photos submitted by the campus community of their deceased friends and family who served in the military. Finally, bookstore manager Amber Mercer hosted a discussion on war in literature.

Honoring Our Veterans

Readerboard PoliciesSouth 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.


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 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.
