| Encourage Students to Become Near-Peer Mentors |
|
CSI believes college-student peers can offer benefits to high school students as mentors. Peers can offer important information and advice, provide encouragement, function as a positive role model, are easier to approach than adult mentors, act as a sounding board, and provide a helping hand in "going on" to college.
CSI is currently looking for nine students as part of our Near-Peer Program. Do you have a student in mind? Please share this information with them!
The deadline to apply for a Near-Peer Mentorship position has been extended to November 23,
AND SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE!

| Workplace Safety-Domino Effect |
|
A nationally recognized speaker will be at CSI! This presentation will enable each participant to discover for themselves a new perspective regarding their personal approach to safety. In turn, that will translate to a renewed identity within the safety culture at the plant they work for and within the company they represent.

| CSI Stage Door Series Presents "Monk in Motion" |
The CSI Stage Door Series will present "Monk in Motion" on November 18. The performance will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium. Tickets are $10 for adults or $5 for students and will be available at the CSI Box Office, by calling 732-6288, at the door, or by going online to
http://tickets.csi.edu. Season tickets are also available, which includes admittance to all eight Stage Door productions for $70 for adults or $35 for students.
The music of jazz icon Thelonious Monk lends itself quite naturally to the world of modern dance. Monk himself frequently broke into a spontaneous "whirling dervish" on the bandstand inspired by the infectious rhythmic drive of his fellow musicians. For this Stage Door presentation, CSI faculty members Brent Jensen, Scott Farkas and Adam Crofts collaborate with CSI dance instructor Cindy Jones and the Inspirata Dance Project to present an evening of Monk's music ("Epistrophy", "Bemsha Swing", "Misterioso", "Bye-Ya" & "Crepuscule With Nellie") set to modern dance.
"Monk in Motion" is sure to leave you with a new appreciation for the music of this legendary jazz master.
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 732-6288.
