Shawn Willsey recently took a Field Geology group on a course trip to Scotland and Wales. The class met each week all semester to learn about the geology of the region. From May 13-22, two instructors and eight students visited several localities in both countries. Many of the fundamental concepts and principles in geology have their origins in Scotland during the late 1700's, most notably Scotsman James Hutton's revolutionary view of the Earth's age and how rocks form.

The College of Southern Idaho has launched a new program this summer for first-time college students who are interested in pursuing careers in biology or health science. The 'Bridge to Success' summer program introduces students to their academic expectations, provides their first seven credits of coursework, and even provides lunch each day for just $125.
The program will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays June 6 to July 29. Students will receive an orientation and will be enrolled in their first college-level math and general education classes. The program also includes textbooks, tutoring, community engagement, leadership training, academic advising, daily lunches, and a graduation ceremony and dinner for the students and their families. There is also an opportunity to earn a scholarship for fall semester classes.
The total value of the program is $1,600 but the program is being offered to first-time, degree-seeking students for just $125.
"This program will help the student develop essential skills for the classroom and the workplace and also makes valuable campus resources available while at the same time fostering social and academic relationships," said John Hughes, CSI's Associate Dean of Student Success.
Students who are interested in applying or learning more should contact the CSI Admissions Office right away at 732-6221.

Everyone
(employers, teachers, etc.)
say we need to develop critical thinking skills in our students (and many studies back this up as to the high demand in the workforce for effective critical thinking skills) and, as luck would have it, we teach a class in this very thing! Who knew? How lucky is that?
COMM 209 is a MWF, face-to-face class that happens from 9:00-9:50 am in the Hepworth building (and is taught by Tiffany Seeley-Case)
Course Description and Goals:
Critical Thinking and Argumentation is designed to introduce students to the basic principles of critical thinking, reasoning, informal logic, and argumentation, and to help students apply those principles in both their personal and public communication.
This course has four broad goals:
- To help students become more analytical and critical as a consumer of the discourse of others.
- To teach students to recognize flawed reasoning and equip students with strategies for dealing with flawed reasoning.
- To help students become more adept and more ethical in constructively advancing and defending views in both public and personal settings.
- To help students become more understanding and tolerant of those with whom they disagree.
COMM 209 is a required course for communication majors, but can benefit everyone! In particular, we recommend COMM 209 to pre-law, political science and criminal justice majors as well as to English majors with an emphasis in persuasion and/or persuasive writing. Further, majors in all of the sciences can greatly benefit from critical reasoning skills.
Beyond that, though, here are a couple of resources indicating the vital need for all majors to have a basis in critical thinking:
Essentially, critical thinking is an essential skill necessary to be a member of a democratic society. Further, critical thinking isn't a natural skill...it's an acquired one that benefits from specific training such as that offered in COMM 209! So, we would love to have people in all majors consider adding COMM 209 as elective credit in their course load.

The Herrett Center for Arts and Science at the College of Southern Idaho offers crash courses in caveman living again this summer and fall. Herrett Exhibits Manager Joey Heck will teach three classes - flintknapping, atlatls, and building fire.
 Beginning Flintknapping is a three-session class that runs 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, June 14, Friday, June 17, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 18. Participants will assemble their own knapping tool kits and create a number of flaked obsidian tools. The workshop will focus on the creation and recognition of stone tools and knapper safety. The $50 course fee includes class materials and pizza.
Atlatls - Spear Chuckin' 101 - is a five-day class that runs from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, July 25 - 29. In this class, you will learn the history of the throwing device called an atlatl and gather local materials from which you can build your own. At the end of the course, participants will compete in a throwing competition. The fee for all five classes is $50.
 The one-day class 'Fire!' will be 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8. Participants will use native materials and household objects to construct a bow drill and fire spindle to ignite your tinder bundle. A fire-making competition will be held at the end of the class. The cost is $15.
Class sizes are limited in order to assure that everyone can see, hear, and get personal instruction as needed. Participants need to be at least 12 years old. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a paid adult. Registration can be done any time ahead of the classes online at Herrett.csi.edu or by calling 732-6655.

The Herrett Center for Arts and Science is launching a series of nine fun, low cost, summer workshops for kids as young as six years old. All sessions will be from 1 to 2:30 p.m. on Wednesdays.
June 15: Paper Planes. Ever wonder what keeps airplanes in the sky? This is a workshop about flight. Everyone will learn the basic science behind flying, and then have a chance to build their own paper airplane. We will finish the workshop with a paper plane fly-off to see which designs are the best flyers! Ages 6 and up. Children under 8 must have a parent present. $5 per participant.
June 22: Coiled Pottery. Many different American Indian cultures created beautiful clay pottery. The technique that was widely used in North and South America is called coiling. In this workshop, you will make your own coiled clay pot using air-dry clay. The technique is easy to learn, and everyone will leave with a completed pot that will dry overnight. Ages 6 and up. Children under 8 must have a parent present. $10 per participant.
June 29: Hoop Drums. For the many Native cultures that call the Great Plains their homeland, the hoop was a very important symbol of the circle of life. In this workshop, you will have the chance to create one of the most musical examples of the hoop in Great Plains cultures: the drum! Learn about other important symbols as you build and decorate your own hoop drum. Ages 8 and up. $10 per participant.
July 13: Nature Walk. Take a walk on the wild side while exploring native plants just minutes from the Herrett Center. Join us for a short nature hike around the CSI campus, stopping to identify native plants and explore their prehistoric uses by indigenous peoples. Everyone will discover tool-making resources, edible plants, and general plant identification techniques. After the hike, return to the Herrett Center for an activity. Ages 8 and up. $5 per participant.
July 20: Fossil Casts. Many of the fossils seen in museums are not originals. The originals are often too fragile to be on display, so museums create casts of the fossils that look just like the real thing. In this workshop, you will have the chance to create your own fossil cast of an object from the Herrett Center collection. Ages 6 and up. Children under 8 must have a parent present. $10 per participant.
July 27: Textile Printing. In the rainforests of Peru, the Shipibo and Conibo people create beautiful designs that they paint all over everything that they wear. In this workshop, you will use printmaking techniques to create your own printed fabric using based on the artwork of the Shipibo and Conibo people. Learn about Peruvian cultures and about printmaking. Ages 8 and up. $15 per participant.
August 3: Telescopes. Ever since the telescope was invented in the 1600s, people have used it to gaze at the stars. In this workshop, you will get to build your own working telescope to take home with you. Join us after the workshop to look through the Herrett Center's giant telescope in the Centennial Observatory. Ages 6 and up. Children under 8 must have a parent present. $15 per participant.
August 10: Metalworking. From central Mexico throughout South America, native people used gold and other precious metals to create jewelry, masks, and other decorative and ritual objects. In this workshop, you will get to test out an ancient metalworking technique called repousse (re-poo-say) to create your own metal artwork. Ages 8 and up. $15 per participant.
August 17: Hoop and Dart Game. Try your hand at this classic Native American game using traditional materials to construct a set of prehistoric lawn darts. Students will build a set of corncob darts and a willow hoop, then learn the rules of this fun pastime on the Herrett Center front lawn. Ages 8 and up. $10 per participant.
Spaces will be limited in each workshop to ensure a fun experience for all participants. Payment must be received at the time of registration. Adults may not sign up without a child. For information, call 208-732-6655 or drop by the Herrett Center at the College of Southern Idaho.

June is a great time to add activity to your life, both indoor and outdoor! Our team is working now to plan shared events in the Student Rec Center and on the Challenge Course. A new page has been added to our site to update events as they are planned. Watch for personal trainer information, drop-in classes, opportunities to rent equipment, open house introductions to the SRC and more to come! Thank you, John Twiss (Advisory Team member) for volunteering to help create and market more events to our employees!
Also coming the last week of June are EMPLOYEE MASSAGES. Watch for a scheduling tool to set a time on either June 28 or 29 in the SUB Fireside room for your 15-minute massage. Four therapists will be on site for that FUN event. We will open the scheduling tool after the 22nd. More details to come!

Comments from our recent employee survey on our wellbeing culture and behaviors is now available on our wellness site. It is easy to see some trends and we are already brainstorming ideas to help address the issues you raised. Thank you for your candor and good suggestions. HR and those available from the Wellbeing Advisory Team will meet this summer to respond to your needs and then update you on our progress. We would also like to meet with administration to see how we can all contribute to the best that CSI can be.
Have an awesome summer, everyone. As Bill Studebaker would say, "Get out and stay out!" Enjoy these summer days.

Do you struggle with aches, pains or tingling and numbness while at your work station? We encourage you to take action before those symptoms become an injury or illness.
Two documents offered by St. Luke's can help you set up and access how your office and tools are working with and for you.
If small interventions don't seem to resolve your issues the Employee Wellbeing Program can offer you a FREE ergonomic assessment.
After you make your problems known to your supervisor:
- Contact Judy Heatwole in the HR Office to schedule a work site/ergonomic evaluation. Submit request to [email protected] with the following information: Name, Department, Extension, Position, Supervisor, Reason for request (i.e. issues you are having, etc.), any pertinent history (i.e. back injury/surgery, etc.), Location of work site.
- An order for a work site evaluation will be placed with the Center for Physical Rehab (CPR) and they will contact you for an appointment to review your work site, body mechanics, etc.
- When the evaluation is complete please share the outcomes with your supervisor. Some of the recommendations may have already been put in place by the physical therapist, others may require ordering supplies. Your supervisor and the Employee Wellbeing Coordinator will assist you with following-through with any further suggested changes.
