Liyah Babayan, a well-known Twin Falls business owner and Twin Falls School Board member, will be the speaker at the Herrett Forum at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21. Her topic is 'Liminal - The Refugee Experience.
When she was a young girl, Babayan and her family fled ethnic violence in Armenia following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Eventually, her family was re-settled in Twin Falls through the CSI Refugee Center. Today, she advocates for refugees and all victims of political and military turmoil. In 1998, she began writing her book 'Liminal, A Refugee Memoir,' which is being edited prior to publishing. In her book, she looks back on the chaos and violence of her childhood and sheds light on the 'zero generation' refugee immigrant experience in America.
Babayan owns Ooh La La!, a women's boutique in downtown Twin Falls. She is serving her second year on the Twin Falls School Board and was named by the Idaho Business Review as one of Idaho's 50 Women of the Year in 2015. She is also the Idaho Chair of the Armenian National Committee of America.
The Herrett Forum is a monthly series of presentations generally held the third Wednesday evening of each month during the school year. Topics are coordinated by the Herrett Forum Committee, a group of community individuals dedicated to bringing high quality presentations to Twin Falls. No tickets are required for this free public lecture. Doors open at 7 p.m. The Herrett Center for Arts and Science is located on the north side of the College of Southern Idaho campus at the North College Road entrance.

AUGUST OSAGE COUNTY AUDITIONS
September 20 and 21 from 7 - 8:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Theater
The Random Acts of Theatre Players announce Open Auditions for the Pulitzer Prize Winning play "August: Osage County" by Tracy Letts directed by Shane Brown. We will be casting for all roles - 6 men and 7 women with age ranges from 14 to 70. Auditions will be held Tuesday, September 20, and Wednesday, September 21, 2016 at the CSI Fine Arts Center.
The audition should consist of a prepared monologue 1-3 minutes long. Cost to audition is $1.00 and may be paid at the audition.
August: Osage County is a roller coaster of emotions within the Weston Family. Drug addiction, alcoholism, abuse, racism and more swirl in a pot of discontent, acidic humor and fear. This black comedy is shocking, but introspective at the same time. Buzz about the show includes, from The New York Times: "...I'd bet the farm that no family has ever been as unhappy in as many ways - and to such sensationally entertaining effect - as the Westons of "August: Osage County."
Actors will be expected to commit to a rehearsal schedule leading up to 6 performances: January 12, 13, 14, 2017 and January 19, 20, and 21, 2017. The rehearsal schedule will be made available at the time of auditions. Questions may be email to
ratplayers@gmail.com.

 The CSI Stage Door Series will present "Guitar + One" on September 22. 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 adults or $35 for students.
Don't miss the kick-off to the Stage Door Series with a night of exciting duets with guitarist Michael J. Frew in collaboration with a variety of instrumentalists, vocalists, and machines. Come experience the versatility of the world's most popular and beloved instrument, the guitar, with pieces that range from the Renaissance to this very moment. The evening will include a live performance of Steve Reich's Electric Counterpoint, accompanied by new original recordings and a special early incarnation of CSI Guitar Ensemble.
Michael Frew is an adjunct instructor of guitar at the College of Southern Idaho where he coaches jazz combos and teaches class guitar and private lessons. He received his undergraduate degree from Utah State University where he studied with Corey Christiansen. Michael is featured on jazz vocalist Liz Wooley's debut CD, "A Little Bit Romantic" and has performed in jazz ensembles for Carnival Cruises and all over the Northwest.
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. Follow up productions include Piano Passport: A Musical Journey, Persistence of Memory, Something Special - The Legacy of R.J. Baxter and the Ineffable Power of Radio, Inside Earth, Wine, and Fire, Dear Elizabeth, Soiled Doves, and The Mathematics of Resonant Bodies.

The 14
th
annual CSI Corn Maze begins a full month of operation Friday, Sept. 30. It will be open six nights a week through Saturday, Oct. 29. Students in the College of Southern Idaho's Horticulture Club oversee the entire project that begins with spring planting and continues through cultivation, creation and management of the maze, and eventually selling the corn. The 11-acre field is located next to CSI's Health Science building on North College Road. The maze will be open from 5 to 10 p.m. each Monday through Saturday night and closed on Sunday evenings.
Horticulture program instructor and club advisor Chance Munns says Idaho Central Credit Union is partnering with the club this year and will have its money machine at the maze on certain weekend evenings. Visitors can expect a warming fire at the maze entrance each evening along with burgers, hot dogs, hot chocolate, soda, candy, chips, and other treats for sale.
General admission is $3 per person. Children age five and under will be admitted free of charge. Children 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Pathways are six feet wide and can accommodate wheelchairs, strollers, and other assistive devices though terrain is a little bumpy. Schools and other groups are welcome to reserve daytime visits on Fridays by contacting Munns at 732-6431 or at
cmunns@csi.edu.
The CSI Corn Maze is a multi-student organization fundraiser. Money raised goes to Turkeys to Fight Hunger, Toys for Tots, Home Hospice, Adopted Christmas Families, and Safe House for Kids. Funds also help defray the cost for CSI students to attend conferences.
All who visit the maze after dark are encouraged to bring their own flashlights and dress for the weather.

While everyone is still registering with a CSI Cruise to Wellness Captain for our fall activity challenge, we have listed below the details about our Cruise Itinerary. Remember that your Team Captain is your first contact when you have a question. Your Captain will also help you report your activity and wellness points on a weekly basis.
- DESTINATION & ID: To help us move your ship around the Caribbean on the Map in the Student Rec Center we will need to know your CSI telephone extension number. That's your Ship ID for the duration of the cruise. Your Captain will gather that information.
- LOG EXERCISE: Starting the week of September 26, every time you exercise you earn one (1) mile per minute. For example, if you walk 20 minutes, you earn 20 miles. Note your activity each week on the Personal Log Sheet provided on the Cruise website.
- ADD WELLNESS POINTS: Taking a cruise includes more than just exercise. Living well means good behaviors and healthy choices that are also rewarded on this journey. You may also note those points on the same Log Sheet. Find a list of wellness activities also on the Cruise site.
- REPORT TO THE CAPTAIN: Turn in your Personal Log Sheet at the end of each week to your Captain. Your final sheet after the eight-week challenge is due the week after Thanksgiving. Don't be late!
- EARN CHANCES TO WIN: Your final total will determine the number of chances you have earned in the drawing. For 1500 miles you earn 1 entry, 2500 miles earns 3 entries and 3500 miles earns 6 entries. Extra bonus points may be earned by attending sponsored CSI walk/race events and more.
- CHART YOUR SHIP: Monitor your progress on the Caribbean Map in the Student Rec Center. Your ship will follow the Cruise course and contain your personal ID (phone extension) to help you find it. We will celebrate the end of the Cruise with a party and drawing for the Caribbean Cruise for Two!
We'll see you on board!

PAY IT FORWARD
Gilbert's Pantry
What is Gilbert's Pantry?
As some of you may have heard by now, there is a new initiative by our CSI Student Services to help our hungry students. Gilbert's Pantry is opening this Fall.
CSI Student Services is seeking help from our CSI community for non-perishable donations. The PACE Training Committee has recruited individuals to accept donations in different buildings across campus. See list below.
Also, as you work with your students and you hear of those who are in need of food, please send them to Gilbert's Pantry. They make that contact within the Office of Student Affairs. Assistance is provided to students who have a current CSI ID. The process of receiving food is confidential.
This is a great Pay it Forward opportunity. Let's show our students that CSI employees support them in their educational endeavors and we are here to help. If you have specific questions, please contact Rosa, x6289 or via email,

While there may be no comprehensive nationwide surveys of student hunger, experts have said there is evidence that hunger among college students is rising and may be much higher than the national average for all age groups. Sometimes it is a choice between whether to buy a book for a class or put food on the table for their family. Full-time students don't generally qualify for other assistance unless they are sole support of at least one child.
