Regional Accreditation Events
Our big visit is next week!
As you know, our big accreditation visit is coming up next week!
The team will be here Monday-Wednesday, April 20-22 and we need to let the campus know about these specific events:
? Staff are encouraged to attend an open meeting with the NWCCU accreditation team Monday,
April 20, from 3:00 pm-4:00 pm in Taylor 276-277. This meeting is exclusively for staff.
? Faculty are encouraged to attend an open meeting with the NWCCU accreditation team Tuesday,
April 21, from 1:00 pm-2:00 pm in Taylor 276-277. This meeting is exclusively for faculty.
? Students are encouraged to attend an open meeting with the NWCCU accreditation team
Tuesday
April 21, from 2:00 pm-3:00 pm in Taylor 276-277. Exclusively for students.
? Everyone is invited to attend the NWCCU accreditation team exit meeting at 11:00 am,
Wednesday, April 22 at 11:00 am in Taylor 276-277. The team's initial commendations and
recommendations will be revealed at this meeting.
Do you still have questions about Accreditation? Here are some of the most frequently asked questions:
What is regional accreditation?
- CSI is regionally accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). Regional accreditation covers the entire college, rather than specific areas or programs. It allows students to transfer their CSI credits to other regionally accredited institutions and allows CSI to award Federal financial aid, among many other things. You can find out more about NWCCU and regional accreditation at www.nwccu.org
How often do these visits happen?
- Accreditation is an ongoing process that follows a seven year cycle. The college provides reports to NWCCU throughout the cycle, and typically hosts teams at the mid-point of the cycle and at the end of the cycle. This visit marks the end of our current seven year cycle.
Who are the members of the team?
- Regional accreditors are faculty, staff, and administrators from other community colleges in our region who volunteer to participate in this valuable peer-evaluation process.
Will I have an opportunity to visit with the team?
- Yes! There will be three "open meetings" where you can drop in to visit with the team. One meeting will be for students, one for faculty, and one for staff. The times and locations of these meetings will be published soon and we encourage you to attend!
Will I be asked to meet one-on-one with an evaluator?
- Possibly. Each evaluator is responsible for setting up his or her own meetings and determining who to visit with. But there are lots of us and only a few of them, and they are only here for a few days. So don't feel bad if they don't get to you!
If I am interviewed, what do I say?
- Just answer their questions as best you can. This is our chance to tell the story of CSI. There are no wrong answers!
How can I access the report to read it?

CSI Theatre Camp
Sign your child up now!
The College of Southern Idaho is now taking registrations for CSI Theatre Camp (ages 10 - 18), which takes place July 6 - 10, and CSI Junior Theatre Camp (ages 6 - 9), which runs June 29 - July 1. Both camps will take place in the state-of-the art CSI Fine Arts Theatre.
We would love to have you join us if you have been in theatre for years or just want to learn what it's all about and have a little bit of fun! The camp will consist of age-appropriate breakaway classes such as stage makeup, set construction, stage lighting, stage combat, acting, audition preparation, musical theatre and more! On the last day of camp, students will showcase their work by putting on a play for friends and family. There will also be more advanced classes for those students who have taken the camp before and want to build on what they learned!
Early Bird Registration (postmarked by June 15) is $150. Registration after June 15 is $180. Registration deadline is July 1. Students will need to bring a lunch with them or lunches will be available for purchase for the camp rate of $39.00 for the week. There will be a pizza party for the students the last afternoon of camp before the final production, which will be at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, July 10 in the CSI Fine Arts Theatre. The camp will run from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, July 6 - 10 in the CSI Fine Arts Center.
CSI Junior Theater Camp, a three-day afternoon camp, a companion to the regular CSI Theatre Camp, is designed to introduce younger students (ages 6 through 9) to the world of theatre. No experience required! Junior campers will get a behind the scenes tour of the CSI Fine Arts Center and learn the basics of what goes into a play -who does what, stage direction, how to express your emotions through performing, face painting, stage voice and movement, fun with costumes, as well as preparing a short performance for moms and dads. Cost of the camp is $60. The camp will run from 1 - 5 p.m. Monday - Wednesday, June 29 - July 1. There will be short production of sorts to show off what the kids have learned for parents and friends the last day of camp from 5:00 to 5:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Theatre.
Camp Directors Jud and Tamara Harmon are co-owners of Random Acts of Theatre, one of the Magic Valley's most reputed theatre companies. Together, they have been acting, directing, producing, and tech designing for local productions for over 23 years. In addition to their work on and off the stage with Random Acts of Theatre and the CSI Theatre Department, Tamara and Jud have had the privilege of sharing their love of theatre and talent with local students in area schools, JUMP Company, and the Community Education Center.
Students can obtain a registration form and more information at the CSI Fine Arts Center, by going online to
www.csi.edu/theatrecamp, or by calling 732-6288, or by emailing cbarigar@csi.edu.

Metales M5 Mexican Brass Band
Arts on Tour
Metales M5 Mexican Brass Band, Arts on Tour's final touring performing artists of the 2014-2015 Season, will take the stage on Wednesday, April 22 at 7:30 p.m. in the College of Southern Idaho's Fine Arts Auditorium. Tickets are $16 for adults and $10 for students high school and under.
Get ready for a lot of brass, a lot of music, and a lot of fun! Metales M5 is Mexico's leading brass quintet. This quintet breaks the barriers of musical genre as they take the blues to the opera and Bach to the roads of Michoacan: fresh, funny, extraordinary. Since its founding in 2005 in Morelia, the capital of Michoac?n in the Central Highlands between Guadalajara and Mexico City, the five gentlemen have been playing a wide variety of music without regard to genre: Baroque and contemporary music, opera and blues, pop, movie soundtracks and folk music from Spain, Mexico, and other Latin American countries. Combining their skills at fine classical chamber music, non-stop interaction with the audience, inborn showmanship, and their inimitable Latin American charm, M5 concerts are unique musical-theatrical concert experiences. www.metalesm5.com or www.csi.edu/artsontour.
The Arts on Tour 2015-2016 Season will be announced in July. Tickets can be purchased at the CSI Fine Arts Box Office from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays, online at www.csi.edu/artsontour, or by calling 732-6288. For more information on this or other Arts on Tour programs, including season subscription and mini subscription information, call 732-6288.
