****************** TODAY'S EVENTS ******************

THE RIGHT TO DREAM-PRESENTED BY LIVING VOICES
11:30am & 12:30pm, Tues, Feb 9, PUB 9208

Through the viewing and participation in this live presentation of THE RIGHT TO DREAM, students will gain a greater understanding of the American civil rights movement.

The Right to Dream is Raymond/Ruby’s story, a young African American growing up in Mississippi on the brink of the American Civil Rights movement. Early on, Raymond/Ruby feels the daily impact of racism and then is introduced to leaders like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., showing him/her that something different may be possible for blacks in America. Dedicated to joining these leaders, Raymond/Ruby receives a scholarship to attend Tougaloo College. Raymond/Ruby begins his/her involvement in the movement when s/he leads a sit-in at a local lunch counter. S/he then becomes a part of SNCC (the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee) and is a participant in the voter registration drive, the March on Washington, Freedom Summer and the March from Selma to Montgomery.  Read more - Study Guide.  Join us!

NEWS LINKS
Recently faculty and staff have commented that they are not always aware that Day at a Glance provides links to more information.  Because the daily communication venue has become increasingly large, it’s prudent that we often provide only the first paragraph or two of the stories, with links to the complete articles.  Please note that “Read more” is actually that link.  Simply double click on the words “Read more” in blue and you will be directed to the article. Be sure to note that these articles often provide links as well to important supporting documents. 

These articles are posted on the college Web site at http://www.shoreline.edu/pionews.aspx on specific pages including: 

Each page provides a different category of news about the college. For example, On Campus contains articles about budgets (both state and SCC), legislative updates, important college initiatives, etc.  Academics features articles about academic programs, scholarship awardees, grant updates, service learning, etc.  Faces at SCC is where we feature stories about students, faculty and staff. Note that internally we may refer to these pages as “the blogs” only because we are using blog software to post stories. At this point, traditional blog features such as comment posting is not available.

These news pages can be accessed through the links in DAAG, by going directly to the Web address above or through the “News & Events” link on the college home page at http://www.shoreline.edu.

Questions?  Contact Donna Myers at x4717 or dmyers@shoreline.edu.
