Message from the President
Re; Professor Ken LaFountaine
On Monday morning, April 24th, at 4:45 am, a great friend and colleague of the College passed away at his home.  Ken LaFountaine, professor of Native American Studies, was a revered and beloved member of the Shoreline Community College family, and it is with great sadness that we announce his passing.  A memorial service will be held to commemorate his life on Friday, April 28th at 1:00 pm in the SCC Gym.  A reception will follow at 4:00 pm in the PUB. Please join me in remembering the many contributions this great man made to this College during his years of service.

Dr. Andrea Rye, VP of Student Services and former Dean of the Intra-American Studies & Social Sciences division notes, "Ken has been a major force in the establishment and continued development of the Intra-American Studies program at Shoreline Community College, not only in American Indian Studies but Ethnic and Women's Studies as well.  He was a member of the IAS division during its early stages of development and has created and taught courses in History and Multicultural Studies.  His many contributions were instrumental in the established reputation that Shoreline Community College has maintained over the years as a Center of Excellence in Multicultural, American Indian, African and African American, Latino/a, Asian and Pacific Islander and Women's Studies."
