Dearest Fellow Collegians,

My name is Ivanhoe, and I am
the Student Body Association
I ran for student government
because I love this school, the
quality of the education and student
life we have here. My advice
to you is to take full advantage of
your time here. Shoreline Community
College is not merely a
means of getting a certificate, diploma
or a sweet university transfer,
although this is certainly a
great place to do those. Shoreline
Community College is a place to
live in the present and experience
the excitement of learning and be
part of a dynamic community.
My goal is to help leave this
campus a more integrated, sustainable
and vibrant place than
when I came to it. I want to give
you the opportunities to make a
difference in others’ lives, in your
immediate community and in the
world.
Academics is about more than
passing your classes and getting
degrees; it’s about taking charge
of your own education and making
it as personally fulfilling as
possible.
My job is to represent you
when I speak to the school administration
and to members of
the community. But I am only
one individual. I am not Korean,
disabled, 19 years old or in the
CEO program, and I most certainly
am not you. Therefore, it
is also my job to connect you with
ways to be active members of the
campus. Without your help, the
student government will only be
able to represent those of us in it.
Come to me and I can appoint you
to a college governance committee,
help you start a club or pass
your opinions along to those who
need to hear them.
I am a Seattle native, 28 years
old, and pursuing a degree in
Library & Information Science.
I worked at a local independent
video store for 12 years and studied
at a film school in Vancouver,
B.C. for one year. For fun, I love
playing badminton, speaking Esperanto,
eating vegetarian food,
doing community service and
watching C-SPAN. Please drop
by Room 2935 and get to know
your student government.
Your humble servant, |
