 50 Years Ago at CSI |
In December of 1965...
On Dec. 5, 6, and 7, 1965, the CSI site selection team surveyed at least eight potential sites for the college, three of which appear on this map, and interviewed interested groups of people. The Beach Site is near where the Twin Falls LDS temple has been built. The BLM Site is still BLM land north of the canyon. The farm ground labeled Kimes Site is where CSI was eventually built.
Make sure to send us your fun fact, picture, newspaper article, or
50th Anniversary idea to share in eNotes!

 Kudos to Ben and Janna Hamlett |
|
|
| Instructor, Food Science/Quality Assurance |
I just wanted to let everyone know how appreciative I am of Janna and Ben Hamlett. We had our second
Pride of the Magic Valley: How It's Made
field trip to Davisco Foods on Saturday. It was a great time - it went so smoothly
because
of Janna and Ben.
Both of them incorporate industry tours into their programs, so both are very familiar with how to organize a first-rate field trip. I am so grateful for their willingness to forfeit part of a Saturday each month to help lead these excursions with community education.
On our tour to Davisco we had an older fellow who got to see where his son works (something that he might otherwise have not have been able to do because of Davisco's strict visitor policy); Carleen Herring got to see the "manufacturing excellence designation" in action and

she had complimentary things to say, and that getting to ask questions helped her on a pro
ject she was working on
this
morning. The HR
Director of another leading manufacturer in the area
got to discuss safety and
automation plus talk about hiring trends with Janna on the bus, a student with an engineering background got to exchange business cards with the lead engineer, and another student
got face-time with the plant manager. When I approached Janna about
the idea for the series, and
we were "noodling" ideas, these were the types of interactions we
hoped for.
I want to express my gratitude for having great course offerings in the community education schedule, and getting to partner with Janna and
Ben to highlight the importance of technical programs on campus.
Thank you,
Ashley Schultz
Community Ed Course Developer

Congratulations to Our CTE Programs!
|
Zack Bartlett, the CSI student who shot and produced the terrific 50-year celebration video, has earned another honor. Surgical Technology Instructor Janet Milligan came up with a concept for a 30-second video in a nationwide public service announcement contest. However, she needed a videographer to shoot and edit the project for her. Zack did the videography and editing and Janet's video won second place among the 100 entries nationwide.
The CSI CTE programs that were in the video include, Wind Energy, Diesel Mechanics, Surgical Technology, Medical Assisting, Environmental Technology, Hospitality Management, and Culinary Arts.
Janet Milligan and her students proudly accepted the $250 prize for the students. On top of the prize money their video will be used nationally as a PSA in February which is national CTE month.

CSI SYMPHONIC BAND CONCERT
December 1 at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium
This concert, entitled A Merry, Scary(?) Christmas, offers a celebration of both Halloween and Christmas, classic concert band selections, and a Spanish-flavored march. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the founding of CSI, the program will open with a Spanish-style march, El Aguila de Oro (The Golden Eagle) by Jack Bullock. Settings of two chorale preludes by Johannes Brahms will follow, including Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming and O God, Though Holy God. The band will then offer a very different chorale prelude, this the Chorale Prelude: So Pure the Star, by the 20th-century American composer Vincent Persichetti. The first half will close with a classic of the band literature, Ralph Vaughan Williams' English Folk Song Suite. The second half of the concert will open with some delightful music that recalls Halloween, the Galloping Ghosts Rag, by William Ryden. More in keeping with the upcoming holiday season, the band will then offer William Rhoads' quiet A Nativity Carol. Music by the English composer Frederick Delius, his Marche Caprice, will then follow. The programs continues with William Bolcom's Song, then concludes with music by composer Danny Elfman from the 1993 Tim Burton movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas. Admission to the concert is free, but donations to the CSI Music Scholarship Fund are appreciated. For more information, please contact Dr. Halsell at 208-732-6767 or [email protected].
