DuValle M. Daniel has been an English professor at
Shoreline CC since 1995. She has a B.S. degree in
Industrial Management from the University of Alabama and
an M.A. in English from Governors State University.
Since arriving at Shoreline, Professor Daniel has taken
a particular interest in curriculum transformation to
infuse multicultural concepts and ideas in the courses
she teaches, which include American Literature, 1860 to
1914 and 1915-Present, Introduction to Fiction,
Introduction to Literature, Women's Literature and
various levels of English Composition. Professor Daniel
is a strong advocate of interdisciplinary learning, and
has participated in team teaching with professors in
several areas of study, including Psychology, Japanese
History and Multicultural Studies.
Professor Daniel enjoys teaching students with
diverse backgrounds and interests. She challenges
students to explore themselves and the world around
them. Every class is a learning experience for both
teacher and students, and by the end of each quarter,
hopefully everyone will have become more socially
conscious and culturally aware, and maybe learned a
little bit of English along the way.

Grace Rhodes After high school Grace spent two years
at Washington State University, but college proved to be
a great hindrance to her social life, so she took off
for Caribbean heat in the Virgin Islands. Five years,
four states, and several waitress jobs later, she
returned to school much wiser for the wear and joyfully
earned a B.A. degree in Adult Education from The
Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. After five more
years of working or being in school, Grace completed
studies for Pacific Lutheran University's M.A. degree in
Social Sciences, with a focus in Human Relations.

courses (English 089 Reading Center and English 099
Writing Center), attend her study skills workshops, or
take her tutor education course (Education 199). She
welcomes all students to study in the Center, to brush
up on learning/study skills, or to get free drop-in
tutoring for many kinds of writing: essays, reports,
research papers, personal statements, etc. Students can
relax in the friendly environment, read a magazine, work
a jigsaw puzzle, and listen to classical music.
Sometimes there's even free candy. (When she's not
working, Grace enjoys scrapbooking and boogey boarding
the Oregon coast. She lives at home with her husband,
son, and yellow lab.)
T. Sean Rody grew up on several Pacific islands
including Yap, Saipan, Hawaii, and Oahu. After studying
business, oceanography and literature, he accidentally
earned an English degree from the University of Hawaii,
Manoa. He then went to Aotearoa to break his arm
snowboarding; this, of course, led to graduate school at
the University of Nevada, Reno, where he studied
literature and composition. Just after he graduated, a
siren lured him to Seattle where he accidentally earned
a job teaching English at Shoreline Community College.
He is still adjusting to the vast tracts of land, the
aloha-challenged culture, and the cold ocean of the
Pacific Northwest.
