SCC names new trustee     [TOP]

      Recently, the College announced the appointment of Elsa Welch as the newest member of the College's Board of Trustees. Welch replaces Shoubee Liaw, who retired from Shoreline CC's Board of Trustees after six years of service.
      Welch is Vice President and Client Manager of Premier Banking at the Bank of America. She has worked for the Bank of America for 28 years, holding a number of positions in consumer banking, and also working in banking center management in the Seattle metropolitan area. She is a registered securities representative and is a member of the Hispanic Banking Team and the American Institute of Banking.
      "We are delighted to have Elsa join our Board of Trustees," says Shoreline Community College President Holly Moore. "She brings with her an impressive academic, community and civic background along with a sincere commitment to seeing our college and our students succeed."
      Welch was born in Lima, Peru and immigrated to the United States in 1964. She and her husband, Gordon, have been married for 26 years and have two sons. They were both very involved in academic, sports and community activities while their sons were growing up and remain very interested and involved in the Shoreline community.
      Welch says, "I feel that being involved in community/civic activities has been core to both my personal and professional life. I am very excited and honored to have been appointed to the Board of Trustees at Shoreline Community College and look forward to being a part of the college community. I welcome the opportunity to work with other community members to steer and propel Shoreline Community College to be a strong and viable community presence."
      Serving more than 14,000 students each year, Shoreline CC offers one of the most successful university transfer programs in the state along with in excess of 50 professional-technical programs, high-tech vendor certification programs and a community-based continuing education program.
Instructor Jane Winslow documents Pilgrimage of Peace Project in Nepal     [TOP]

      The videography and production savvy of Shoreline Community College film/video instructor Jane Winslow recently won her a trip around the world _ or at least halfway around the world. The internationally recognized videographer and video consultant was selected from a group of nationally recognized videographers to travel to Kathmandu, Nepal to document on digital video an international delegation of women on a Pilgrimage for Peace.
      The pilgrimage was organized around a performance of a sacred dance based on the ancient scriptures of Tara, the female embodiment of the Buddha. Anahata Iradah, the video program producer and one of the pilgrimage coordinators, asked Winslow last summer to be the videographer and video editor on this project.
      "The Tara Dhatu organization originally conceived of the project as a call for peace and freedom in Tibet," Winslow recalls. "After September 11th though, the Pilgrimage became a dance for peace around the world."
      Although the Peace Pilgrimage started in Dharamsala, North India, Winslow's teaching schedule allowed her to participate only in the Nepalese part of the journey.
      "When I told my classes that I would be going to Nepal to document this Peace Dance, a student came up and told me that some of the students had been talking about how pleased they were that I was doing this project. They felt especially after 9/11, working for peace was very important and they were proud that I was their instructor. I couldn't think of a more profound send-off."
      Approximately 60 women from 24 countries from around the world performed the "Mandala Dance of the 21 Praises of Tara" for High Lamas, Buddhist monks & nuns, and Tibetan refugees and school children. They also made several public performances on the Boudhanath Stupa, Boudha and Durbar Square, Kathmandu. Buddhist nuns, who generally are not allowed to dance spiritual dances, joined the pilgrimage dancers for several performances.
      "Documenting the historic, spiritual moment of these anis (nuns) was an honor and one of the high points of the journey for me. The joy and peace within these performances was palpable," says Winslow.
      Along with the documenting of the Peace Dance, Winslow also was fortunate to visit the Tibetan Refugee Reception Center, where Tibetan refugees find safe haven and medical attention after their two-month journey across the Himalayans. On one of the visits, a small group from the delegation performed for those who were convalescing in the infirmary at the center, as well as 48 refugees who were departing by bus that night for Dharamsala, India, the home of the Dalai Lama. Winslow was able to capture this for the documentary.
      Anahata Iradah and Winslow plan to begin editing the Peace Pilgrimage Project this coming summer.
      Winslow has produced a number of film projects, winning a Nell Shipman award for production excellence last year for her work on "Living Will," a film project for the Seattle International Film Festival Fly Filmmaking. At Shoreline Community College, Winslow and her students have produced a documentary film for the King County Prosecutor's Office that has become an integral part of the national truancy program.
      "I was hired by the College to start a professional film/video program," says Winslow. "My goal is to bring this incredibly powerful profession to the students, and these talented, powerful students to this profession. We are developing and growing the video/film program in terms of equipment and offerings. But the true quality of this program is with the students, and on that front, we are very rich and get richer each quarter."
