 Simon Sinek is participating in a broadcast event sponsored by the CSI chapter of The National Society of Leadership and Success. The event will be on Tuesday, November 8th at 5:00 p.m. in the Taylor Building rm. 276, and is free to all students, staff and faculty. The event will be streamed live and hosted by John Jay College in New York City, N.Y. All viewers are invited to submit questions via Twitter and Facebook, which will be answered live during the broadcast.
Simon Sinek is a New York Times best-selling author, motivational speaker and marketing consultant. A trained ethnographer, Sinek studies leaders and organizational culture. Sinek is fascinated by the leaders and companies that have the capacity to inspire, and has discovered remarkable patterns about how they think, act and communicate. Sinek is best known for popularizing these ideas in his first Ted Talk, which is the third most watched talk of all time on TED.com. Sinek has had the honor of sharing his ideas at the United Nations, the United States Congress, and with an array of leaders and organizations, including: Disney, JetBlue, MARS, SAP, Pfizer, NBC and with the senior leadership of the United States Air Force, Marine Corps, Army and Navy, as well as Special Forces agencies.
This is the fourth installment of the 2017-2018 multi-speaker broadcast series sponsored by the Society. The Society's Speaker Broadcast series, which reaches more than 580 college campuses each month during the academic year, is designed to support The National Society of Leadership and Success's overall mission of Building Leaders Who Make a Better World.
About The National Society of Leadership and Success

There are still 100 tickets left for the next performance of the Arts on Tour season "The Quebe Sisters", which will take place in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium on Wednesday, November 8 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $17 for adults and $10 for students high school & under and are available at tickets.csi.edu, at the CSI Box Office, or by calling 732-6288.
When triple-threat fiddle champions Grace, Sophia, and Hulda Quebe blend their voices, their tight three-part harmony is reminiscent of the Andrews Sisters. The trio performs a refreshing blend of swing, vintage country, bluegrass, jazz standards, and Texas-style fiddling. The sisters were ages 7, 10 and 12 in 1998 when they attended their first local fiddle competition and decided fiddling was what they wanted to do. Within a few years they were winning state and national championships, and soon they were sharing stages with American music legends. Today, after more than a decade of travelling the U.S. and the world, the sisters are a smokin' hot young adult Americana band, pros in a variety of genres, and count many famous musicians among their biggest boosters. Along with headlining their own shows to ever-growing audiences, they've shared stages with American music legends like Willie Nelson, George Strait, Merle Haggard, Ricky Skaggs, Ray Price, Connie Smith, Marty Stuart, The Gatlin Brothers, Ray Benson, Asleep at the Wheel, Riders in the Sky and many others. "Give them your undivided attention, and if you're not already, you too, will become a fan."
Follow-up performances of the Arts on Tour season include I Love a Piano (February 16), Kings of Dance (March 17), Catapult (March 28), and Piano Chameleons (April 10).

The following link has been shared by our St. Luke's Nutritionists through the Diabetes Prevention class at St. Luke's. It's a short YouTube video about diabetes:
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the United States. It can cause blindness, nerve damage, kidney disease, and other health problems if it's not controlled.
One in 10 Americans have diabetes - that's more than 30 million people. And another 84 million adults in the United States are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
The good news? People who are at high risk for type 2 diabetes can lower their risk by more than half if they make healthy changes. These changes include: eating healthy, getting more physical activity, and losing weight.
