 What Would You Do If an Active Shooter Entered Your Building? |
Last week's incident in Hailey is the perfect reminder to continue safety planning for your department.
Things We Learned & Great Reminders!
1.
"Shelter in Place" is not a common term that people know or understand. You can expect future alerts to read
"Hide in Place".
This means turn off the lights, shut and lock your door, and hide under any desks, tables, or furniture or even in a closet. Two other important things to remember is to turn your phone on silent and dim your screen.
2. Schedule an Active Shooter Training for your department by contacting Jim or Mellie. They will be happy to come over and walk you through different scenarios and ask you questions that you may not have thought of yet.
In an emergency situation you will react in a manner connected to how you have been trained. Make sure you are prepared!
3. Make sure you have an updated copy of the PINK Emergency Procedures Manual and read through each tab. Your office area should have one. If not, please let Jim Munn know.

The
Strategic Planning Steering Committee is looking for your feedback! We've been working since last summer to create a new strategic plan that will guide the college as we embark on our next 50 years. The draft plan was recently presented to the Instructional Council and is scheduled to be presented to the Board of Trustees for their approval on February 22. A few items to keep in mind as you consider the attached draft:
- Many of the priorities outlined in this draft plan come from the results of the Strategic Planning Survey that was conducted in the fall of 2015. More than 800 people filled out the survey and you can access the summary of results here: http://www.csi.edu/institutionalEffectiveness/planning/SurveyResultsFall2015.pdf
- The attached draft plan includes the following:
- o A draft vision statement;
- o A Board approved mission statement (approved January 19, 2016);
- o Three draft core themes;
- o Draft objectives for each core theme;
- Each of the items listed above will be a part of the draft that is presented to the Board in February so we are especially interested in your feedback on these portions.
- Additionally, we have included what we are calling "sample potential strategic areas of focus" in italics in this draft. These are examples of the types of strategic areas of focus that might be addressed in an effort to achieve objectives, core themes, and mission fulfillment. They are not meant to indicate what will or will not be pursued as a strategy to meet that specific objective. They are only included in order to add some context to the draft objectives and will not be part of the draft plan that is submitted to the Board in February. Actual strategies for meeting objectives will be developed by the operational units of the college that are linked to specific areas. So, in short, while we will certainly accept feedback on these sample potential strategic areas of focus, they are not our main area of interest at this point.
- Finally, performance measure indicators, critical success activities, benchmarks, and targets will be developed after the core themes and objectives have been approved.
Please provide your written feedback
by the end of the day on Monday, February 8. You can email me at
cbragg@csi.edu with your feedback. You can also call me at 208-732-6775 with questions or feedback. If you'd prefer to visit about the plan face-to-face, I'll be hosting an "open feedback session" on Friday, February 5, from 2-4 in Taylor 248 to answer any questions that you have and to take additional feedback. It will very informal so please stop by anytime between 2 and 4, grab a cup of coffee and a cookie, and share your thoughts.
We look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your input into this important process!

This Week's Winner for CSI Sustainability Recycling Success
|
The CSI Sustainability Council announces that 372.50 pounds of household batteries were recycled by CSI in 2015. Adding 2015's total to previous years' totals reveals that CSI has recycled 1,977.66 pounds of batteries since 2010. So, nearly a ton of household batteries have been prevented from being transported to our local landfill. Great job CSI!
Elaine Bryant is the winner for this week's contest.
Next week the Sustainability Council will reveal the totals for paper and beverage containers. Send your guesses to
rsmith@csi.edu for the opportunity to win a prize.
Batteries may be recycled by putting them in an interoffice envelope with "Batteries" written on the front. If batteries exhibit corrosion, please place them in a plastic bag before you put them in the envelope.
Keep the cycle going.

The College of Southern Idaho urges students who are considering taking classes next fall to apply now for financial aid. To help with the process, CSI advisors will hold two evenings of free assistance from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 16 and 17 in the college's Health Science building on North College Road in Twin Falls to help families with their applications.
Applying for and receiving federal financial assistance for college takes preparation. Too many students don't plan far enough ahead and either miss the application deadline or don't receive their funds until after their tuition is due. Students who are looking for financial aid to attend college next fall should apply now. That's why colleges and universities all over Idaho are holding FAFSA events this month.
FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Applications are done online, which is sometimes intimidating for students and their families. Advisors from the College of Southern Idaho Financial Aid office welcome students and parents to come to the computer lab 228-229 of the Health Science building for free assistance during this special event.
The application generally takes about 30 minutes online as long as applicants are prepared with all the necessary information. Those who come to the event are advised to obtain a FAFSA identification number ahead of time by going to
http://www.pin.ed.gov
. If the student is a dependent, a PIN should be obtained for the student and one for a parent, as well.
Participants should also bring: Social Security number, the student's driver's license number, alien registration number (if the student is not a U.S. citizen), 2015 federal tax return, your most recent W-2 or year-end pay stub, business and investment records, and records about untaxed income such as federal benefits, veterans benefits, and child support. Students may also receive assistance filling out the CSI General Scholarship application if they have already applied to and been accepted to CSI.
For more information on this event, please contact Tara Nunnelley at 732-6231.
CSI's North Side Center at 202 14
th
Avenue East in Gooding will hold a similar event from 10 a.m. to noon Friday, Feb. 19. Please call 934-8678 to reserve your spot.
CSI's Mini Cassia Center at 1600 Parke Avenue in Burley will hold two FAFSA events from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 20 and from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 23. For more information, call the office in Burley at 678-1400.

Soprano
Marie-Josée Lord
will take the CSI Auditorium stage for the fifth performance of the Arts on Tour 2015-2016 Season on Saturday, February 6 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $16 for adults and $10 for students high school and under.
Jambalaya - A surprising title, indeed but, to surprise the audience is what this concert is all about! With her personal style, voice, presence, and choice of repertoire, soprano Marie-Josée Lord delivers a gourmet recital where classical and popular music are gently entwined. Gershwin, Verdi, Bernstein, Lama, Bizet, and many other composers make up this special program that flows ever so naturally. The result is so flavorful that you will be asking for seconds! World-class Haitian-born Canadian soprano Marie-Josée Lord has performed the key roles in Porgy and Bess and La Bohème to great international acclaim. In 2005, Marie-Josée was the recipient of the Prix d'Excellence de la Culture, awarded by the Fondation de l'Opéra de Québec and was selected to represent Canada at the Cardiff Singer of World competition. She won the Public Prize at the Canadian Lyric Fund Competition and received the Raoul- Jobin Prize in 1998. Her first solo CD, which was recorded with the Orchestre Métropolitain under the baton of Giuseppe Pietraroia, won Marie-Josée Lord a Félix in the category Album of the year - classical vocal in 2011 and got a JUNO nomination. Marie-Josée has performed on radio, television, and at prestigious venues across North America. Her intense and flamboyant personality and international-caliber performance will fill the theater when she takes the stage of the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium.
The concert will be preceded by a special pre-performance lecture "Insight: A Look at Operatic Tradition" from 6 - 7 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Recital Hall. Join Serena Jenkins Clark, CSI Director of Choral Activities and Voice, as she presents a pre-recital talk to delight, expand, and prepare your musical palate for Marie-Josee Lord's Arts on Tour program Jambalaya. This lecture will be free of charge.
Tickets are $16/adults or $10/students high school and under and are available at tickets.csi.edu, at the CSI Box Office, or by calling 732-6288
Follow-up performances of the Arts on Tour season include Kahulanui Hawaiian Swing Band on April 1 and The Fab Four: The Ultimate Beatles Tribute on April 15 .
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.

Friday is National Wear Red Day
, so please join this movement on campus to recognize and support better heart health for women by wearing your RED.
Why? Ten years ago, the American Heart Association discovered that heart disease killed more women than men. And it took more women's lives than all forms of cancer combined. So we created Go Red For Women, a network of women dedicated to education, support, and research. Since then, we've educated millions of women on the dangers of heart disease, and made major changes in health care. Over these first ten years, we've tracked the progress for millions of women involved, and the improvements within the healthcare industry. Here are ten encouraging accomplishments that make all of those involved very proud.
