Ebbtide Staff SCC Auto program ranks first in nation Once again, Shoreline's Automotive Program has been hailed the best in the nation. All four programs - GM, Chrysler, Honda and Toyota - received perfect scores in a rigorous, multi-level evaluation. The re-certification by National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) was performed by an independent team composed of ASE-certified technicians. The NATEF evaluators said that this is the first time any college has earned a perfect score. The program is evaluated every five years. Division Dean Don Schultz gives credit to the faculty. "It's because of the hard work of our faculty - Scott Main, Ken Campbell, Jack Shiel, Mark Hankins and Bob Biesiedzinski - they are the ones who have created and sustained the number one program in the nation." Free tutoring program and job opportunity A free tutoring program is available this summer for students planning to transfer to four-year institutions, announced Scott Saunders, director of Student Programs. The trial program, underwritten by student fees, is for currently enrolled Shoreline students. For information please contact Saunders, 206-546-5821 or ssaunder@ctc.edu. Student coordinators are Queenie Chu and Marquita Prenzing. The hourly pay is $7.50 for those without a degree; $8.10 for those with an associate or bachelor's degree; and $8.40 for those with a master's degree.
