I'm excited to announce that the CSI Jerome Center, located at 104 West Main Street in Jerome, now has a full-service testing center at its location. There are 5 computers in the testing room, along with another 5 carrels for paper and pencil tests. Four in-room cameras will be used for monitoring students.
Anna Dovenmuehler, Jerome Center Coordinator, and I will be getting the word out to students that testing is available in Jerome, so I encourage you to have your course tests/proctor sheets sent to Jerome just as you do to the other off-campus centers.
Placement testing and testing for other colleges and universities are also available. We will request students to call the center to make appointments for testing.
Test and proctoring information may be emailed to:
jerometesting@csi.edu. The Jerome Center phone numbers are
208-324-5101 or 208-732-6464. (From a campus phone dial x6464.) The fax number is 208-324-7449.
Thank you.

Not that you'd notice at first glance, but the HR website has changed. First, we combined the contents of three pages into one. Employment Opportunities, (training and) Development and Payroll/on boarding information is now on one page under Employment. You may link to CSI job announcements from that page as well as to ed2go classes. As always, all Forms and Links that are HR and payroll-related may be found on a single page.
These enhancements have greatly simplified our life and we hope they help you too. Please feel free to always call or email when you have a question or issue. We're here to help.

The students are part of the US - Germany CBYX (Congress-Bundestag Exchange Program) and will attend CSI in the fall and work in the local community. These students are eager to share their culture, learn American culture, and make new friendships!
If you're interested in applying to become a host family, please contact Keith Quatraro for more information. Phone: (208) 732-6383. Email:

We still need help filling multiple courses this fall semester! Help your fellow faculty by suggesting some of the following:
GNED 101:
For more information about GNED classes contact Clark Draney at cdraney@csi.edu or 208-732-6810.
COMM 209:
This is a MWF, face-to-face class that happens from 9:00-9:50 am in the Hepworth building (and is taught by Tiffany Seeley-Case)
E
mployers, teachers, and others
say we need to develop critical thinking skills in our students (and many studies back this up as to the high demand in the workforce for effective critical thinking skills) and, as luck would have it, we teach a class in this very thing! Who knew? How lucky is that? Course Description and Goals:
Critical Thinking and Argumentation is designed to introduce students to the basic principles of critical thinking, reasoning, informal logic, and argumentation, and to help students apply those principles in both their personal and public communication.
This course has four broad goals:
- To help students become more analytical and critical as a consumer of the discourse of others.
- To teach students to recognize flawed reasoning and equip students with strategies for dealing with flawed reasoning.
- To help students become more adept and more ethical in constructively advancing and defending views in both public and personal settings.
- To help students become more understanding and tolerant of those with whom they disagree.
COMM 209 is a required course for communication majors, but can benefit everyone! In particular, we recommend COMM 209 to pre-law, political science and criminal justice majors as well as to English majors with an emphasis in persuasion and/or persuasive writing. Further, majors in all of the sciences can greatly benefit from critical reasoning skills.
For more information about COMM 209 contact Tiffany Seeley-Case
at tseeley@csi.edu or
208-732-6779.
ART 103-251:
For more information about Art courses contact Ben Lustig at blustig@csi.edu or 208-732-6756.

The Herrett Center for Arts and Science is launching a series of nine fun, low cost, summer workshops for kids as young as six years old. All sessions will be from 1 to 2:30 p.m. on Wednesdays.
August 10:
Metalworking. From central Mexico throughout South America, native people used gold and other precious metals to create jewelry, masks, and other decorative and ritual objects. In this workshop, you will get to test out an ancient metalworking technique called repousse (re-poo-say) to create your own metal artwork. Ages 8 and up. $15 per participant.
August 17: Hoop and Dart Game. Try your hand at this classic Native American game using traditional materials to construct a set of prehistoric lawn darts. Students will build a set of corncob darts and a willow hoop, then learn the rules of this fun pastime on the Herrett Center front lawn. Ages 8 and up. $10 per participant.
Spaces will be limited in each workshop to ensure a fun experience for all participants. Payment must be received at the time of registration. Adults may not sign up without a child. For information, call 208-732-6655 or drop by the Herrett Center at the College of Southern Idaho.

BHUTANESE NEPALI CULTURAL SHOW
August 13 at 10 a.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Theater
Join us for a lovely day of meeting our neighbors and learning more about the Bhutanese Nepalese culture through art. This unique opportunity will feature:
- A screening of the Nepalese movie Bato Muniko Phool 2, a tender love story built around the blind faith in the caste discrimination system that exist in Nepalese and Bhutanese Nepalese society. Through art, the film and artists hope to create awareness about the caste system and illuminate what penalties there are for breaking the rules of this system.
- An appearance and performance by the star and writer of the film, Nepali film actor and musician Yash Kumar.
- Local Bhutanese/Nepali artists Manorath, Mani, Subash, Divya, Umesh, Manisha, Sangeeta, Robin, and Chandra, featuring songs and dance pieces that range from the typical Nepali to remix and fast tracks.
Everyone is welcome! This event is free of charge, although donations will be accepted.

The Herrett Center for Arts and Science introduces a new after school program for teens this September. The free program, open to students in grades 9 through 12, is funded by the Idaho Humanities Council and is the first of its kind in Idaho.
Herrett Center Education Facilitator Laura Browarny says Herrett Teens participants will go on multiple field trips, hear presentations from guest speakers, and make lots of new friends.
"The teens will have a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes at the Herrett Center with a diverse group of new peers. We're creating a safe place for open dialogue about the past, present, and future of southern Idaho," said Browarny. "Members will share opinions, create personal connections, and more importantly, eat lots of snacks!"
The After School Teen Community for the Humanities will meet after school on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for twelve weeks starting in mid-September at the Herrett Center on the College of Southern Idaho campus. A few Saturday field trips will take the place of weekday meetings. Space in the program will be limited to 25 students. Transportation to and from the Herrett Center may be arranged. Applications are being taken now through Sept. 6. Members will be notified of their acceptance to the program by Sept. 9.

This is also a vendor fair, with the purpose of fostering a relationship between the College of Southern Idaho and the Twin Falls community. Businesses and community agencies who participate are going to have free giveaways, information about their services, and a fun environment for students, faculty and staff to learn more about services that are in the Twin Falls community. We look forward to your participation in this event which is held during our Week of Welcome on
Wednesday August 24
, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Benefits of a WOW Booth:

- You will be able to distribute information about your department/organization.
- You will be able to see what other departments have going on around campus.
What's Included in a WOW Booth:
Booth spaces are furnished with a table and two chairs, unless noted otherwise, and a limited number of spots with electricity are available and reservations will be made on a first-come, first-served basis. To help entice people maybe a giveaway or sweet treat at your booth will help.
