Did you know that 63.8% of students surveyed stated that "at least one staff member (other than an instructor) learned their name?" That's almost 14% higher than students at cohort institutions.

Are you wasting energy and harboring a safety hazard in your office? It turns out that many of us are. I'm talking about mini-fridges. Compact refrigerators consume more electricity than you realize. Consumer Reports found that some mini-fridges used as much electricity as full-size models (Consumer Reports, 2013). These fridges are also a fire hazard. The deadly tower fire in London last year was likely caused by a refrigerator (New York Times, 2017). All electric appliances pose risks but fridges have a compressor that runs frequently if not constantly, and they have a capacitor, an electrical component that stores electrical energy.
Refrigerators are even worse when they start to ice over. The ice build-up reduces efficiency and increases how much the fridge must work. To keep our power bills down and prevent fires we encourage CSI employees to do the following:
1.
Ditch the fridge! - Ask yourself if you really need a refrigerator in your office. Do you use it that often. Would a cooler or lunch box work instead? Could you share a fridge with an office mate? Is there an employee breakroom with a fridge in your building that you can use?
2.
Defrost the ice box. - Take advantage of summer break to let your fridge defrost. Unplug the appliance and crack open the door. Just make sure there is somewhere appropriate for the melted ice to go!
3.
Make sure your appliance is not on a recall list. You can find US government recalls by going to
www.recalls.gov.

The CSI Forensics team wrapped up their competitive season over spring break with a 3rd place sweepstakes finish at the International Public Debate Association National Tournament. The event was an open competition that included students from community and state colleges, private 4-year institutions, and Big-5 research schools.
Team captain Brayden Chiatovich advanced to the junior varsity octafinal round, placing him in the top 16 nationally. Other CSI students contributing to the sweepstakes result were freshmen Abby Vaughn, Jose Alcala, and ASCSI vice-president elect Ethan Espinoza.
CSI Forensics is proud to represent the students and community of Southern Idaho. With four returning members, and several newly committed recruits, the team is looking forward to expanding the program's rich 50-year history at the college.
If you would like more information about this tournament or CSI Forensics in general, please contact Andy Orr.

 New Employee Pictures |
Greetings New CSI Employees,
I'm addressing employees that I know of who have joined us here at CSI within the last few months to invite you to have your directory photo taken, free, at one of the upcoming sessions I hold in the Canyon building. Here are the next two opportunities:
9 - 11 a.m. Tuesday, April 10
9 - 11 a.m. Thursday, April 26
Both of these sessions will be in the Canyon building's old television studio. You're welcome to drop in without an appointment. I'll have everything set up for walk-ins and it takes only a few minutes. I'll send you your photo and it will be added to the CSI website.
A note to the fiscal agencies: I gladly take photos of your employees, too, so please send any of your employees who would like a portrait.
Hope to meet you all soon. Please note that I will do once-a-month staff photos May through August and those will be held at various outdoor locations, to be announced later.
Thanks everyone!

Equal Pay Day is Tuesday,
April 10, 2018. This date symbolizes how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year.
Equal Pay Day was originated by the National Committee on Pay Equity (NCPE) in 1996 as a public awareness event to illustrate the gap between men's and women's wages.
Since Census statistics showing the latest wage figures will not be available until late August or September, NCPE leadership decided years ago to select a Tuesday in April as Equal Pay Day. (Tuesday was selected to represent how far into the next work week women must work to earn what men earned the previous week.) The date also is selected to avoid religious holidays and other significant events.
Because women earn less, on average, than men, they must work longer for the same amount of pay. The wage gap is even greater for most women of color. (provided by www.pay-equity.org)
The CSI Chapter of AAWCC will be giving out doughnuts (and partial doughnuts) as well as providing more information on the current state of the pay gap between men and women both nationally and locally
. Come see us between 11 a.m. and
1 p.m. on April 10, 2018 in the SUB.

| Eagles Give Back to Our Community |
This year marks our third Eagles Give Back volunteer day. The primary goal of the service day is to have students engage with local community organizations and provide a service. Through these experiences, we hope to discuss community, partnerships, and their role in active citizenship. This year, we are looking to partner with Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a non-profit organization that builds bunk beds for kids in need. There was a recent episode on Mike Rowe's show, Returning the Favor. You can see the episode here: http://mikerowe.com/2018/02/returning-the-favor-sleep-in-heavenly-peace/
We are hoping to do a build on Saturday, April 28th from 9-12pm with about 100 student leaders. Our goal is to make 20 bunk beds! This organization not only builds the bunk bed, but supplies kids with the appropriate bedding including a mattress, sheets, pillows, and comforter. This way kids are receiving more than a hollow bed, but everything they need to get a good night's rest.
We would love to have you participate!
Option 1) Donate your time by joining us
Option 2) Donate new bedding, we need the following:
- Standard Pillow and Pillow Case
- Standard Flat Sheet and Fitted Sheet
- Twin Size Comforter
Option 3) Donate money and we'll buy the supplies on your behalf.
You can sign up by e-mailing Samra or donate the bedding by dropping it off in the Student Affairs Office, SUB, 2nd Floor. Let us know if you would like to be a part of this experience.

While generally associated with environmentalism, the concept of sustainability includes more than proactively caring for the world around us and taking personal action. To state that any project, program, business model, or idea is sustainable, one must consider, and conclude that there is balance between, the three aspects of economy, equity, and environment.
Economic viability is a core component of any sustainability initiative. Without it, there would be little to no hope of long-term sustainment and achievement of the outcomes. Thus, we must consider the economic impact of decisions if we are seeking sustainable solutions.
The concept of equity relates to the values espoused by social justice. The impacts for people and culture stemming from decisions must be accounted for to provide true sustainability. Thus, we must ensure that the welfare of communities and individuals is evaluated and supported in the outcomes of a sustainability decision.
While environmental protections are often the most visible aspect of sustainability, they should not be seen solely as environmentalist-type actions. The goals of sustainability extend into, and are primarily for, future generations. Thus, to be thought of as sustainable, protections for the environment must call for systemic changes that promote and require accountability.
The sustainability council at the College of Southern Idaho regularly provides direction, input, and feedback on campus projects, programs, actions, and ideas. In addition, we take actions to promote sustainability in our community. If you would like to learn more or feel strongly about these issues, please consider joining this open collaboration between students, staff, and faculty.

April 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium
Two grand pianos face each other...classical music and jazz merge in a burst of virtuosity! A team unlike any other, electrifying duo-duel pianists Matt Herskowitz and John Roney tackle some of the most beloved
classical piano masterpieces in the spirit of the great interpreters, enhancing their renditions with improvised variations worthy of the best jazz players. Blessed with total technical command, each musician is capable of remarkable keyboard prowess while expressing himself in a deeply musical way. Every concert is like an emotional roller coaster that can soar from quiet hushes to ecstatic peaks of intensity in one fell swoop. From the opening downbeat to the show stopping finale, these partners are in total synch with each other, sometimes in perfect harmony, elsewhere testing their wits to surprise both themselves and their listeners. Spectators can also get in on the action, with closeup camera shots of each player projected on a large stage screen. The two pianists will perform a selection of pieces from Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, Grieg, Schumann, Rachmaninov, George Gershwin and D. Brubeck.
Community Members:
$17 each for adults
$10 each for students (high school age and under)
CSI Faculty/Staff:
$10 each (only two tickets per employee)
$7 each for your children

The CSI Stage Door Series will present "Sentences" at 7:30 p.m. on April 19 in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium. Tickets are $10 for adults or $5 for students. Tickets will be available at the CSI Box Office, by calling 732-6288, at the door, or by going online to http://tickets.csi.edu.
For the past year, CSI instructor Shane Brown has ventured into the Idaho State Penitentiary to teach creative writing workshops to inmates. Explore how the introduction of creativity and artistic expression affected the lives of these men fettered by iron bars and the deeds of their pasts. The works the inmates created-poetry, scripts, memoirs, short stories-will be presented by local actors. Can beauty be found buried behind concrete and steel, veiled from the rest of society?
The CSI Stage Door Series, intimate arts experiences where both performers and audience members are on the stage itself, are designed to be thought-provoking and a little out of the ordinary in different ways - whether it's because of the intimate setting, the material performed, the way they are presented, or the collaborations involved.
For more information, contact the CSI Fine Arts Center at 732-6788.

The College of Southern Idaho is now accepting registrations for this summer's Music Fest, which runs June 11 - 15, 2018 at the CSI Fine Arts Center.
Registrations will be accepted through May 1.
Music Fest, a music day camp for students age 12 to 18, is an opportunity for students to participate in many areas of music and interact with a faculty of professional music educators from all over the state who are chosen for their expertise in their field and work with youth. Students choose a major and spend significant time each day in classes related to their major. Available majors include strings, vocal, musical theater, percussion, organ, and piano. In addition to work in their major, all students participate in the camp choir and have three elective periods to choose from. There are a wide variety of elective classes to choose from, such as drumming circle, small ensembles, musical theater, girls' choir, and many more. On the last evening of the camp, all students perform in the Music Fest concert.
CSI Music Fest is exceptionally affordable. Tuition is $195 for early bird tuition prior to March 15 or $225 after March 15. This fee covers all program costs for the students, including instructional materials. Housing is available for those students wishing to homestay with Twin Falls students and their families. Other optional items such as photos, lunches, and private lessons are also available for an additional cost. All students must be registered by May 1. A limited number of needs-based scholarships are available.
For more information or to obtain a registration form, go to www.csi.edu/musicfest or stop by the CSI Fine Arts Center. You can also call Camille Barigar at 732-6288 or e-mail [email protected].
