CWI Granted Independent Accreditation
College of Western Idaho (CWI) is pleased to announce it has been granted initial accreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). While pursuing independent accreditation, CWI has delivered college credit instruction, certificates, and degrees through a memorandum of understanding with the College of Southern Idaho. CWI's initial accreditation status is effective Sept. 1, 2016.
"I am overjoyed at the news from our colleagues with the NWCCU," says CWI President, Dr. Bert Glandon. "This decision is the result of tireless work from so many people. It lays the foundation for tremendous opportunities for the College moving forward."
The NWCCU made the decision following CWI's year seven self-evaluation report and site visit this past October. CWI has been recognized by the NWCCU as a candidate for accreditation since February 2012.
Independent accreditation will allow CWI more flexibility to modify curriculum and add new degree programs to best meet the needs of the local community and students. Accreditation is also required for CWI and its enrolled students to continue accessing federal funds to support teaching, research, and student financial aid. Finally, regional accreditation provides a way for post-secondary institutions to ensure quality instruction and service, as well as institutional improvement, by voluntarily submitting to a regulatory process.
CWI will now enter the Commission's seven-year accreditation cycle, which includes periodic evaluations and site visits.

February 22 - 25 and March 1 - 4 at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Theater
Treachery, intrigue and political motivations are all facets of this classic tale of the ultimate betrayal. In Shakespeare's political tragedy, suspicions arise when the beloved Caesar gains popularity among his people. Fearing that he will corrupt the freedom of the State, other members of the government plot to have him killed. In a tumultuous world where politics are vicious, Julius Caesar resonates powerfully with today's audiences. Tickets: $10/adults, $5/ high school students and free for CSI students. Tickets available at the CSI Box Office, by calling 732-6288, or online at tickets.csi.edu.

CSI Stage Door Presents "Dear Elizabeth"
February 22 at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium
In 1947 at a dinner party in New York, poets Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop met and began an artistic partnership that lasted until Lowell's death in 1977. Their lengthy friendship is documented in thirty years of beautiful correspondence, collected in the book Words in Air. Award winning playwright Sarah Ruhl dramatized these letters in the play Dear Elizabeth. This play brings the beauty of friendship, writing, and artistic creation to the audience through the poetic words of Lowell and Bishop, and Ruhl's powerful imagery. We bring this important work to CSI in a staged reading through the collaborative efforts of many artists, including: set design by Will Ledbetter, Development Assistant with Idaho Shakespeare Festival; music design and composition by Brent Jensen, CSI jazz professor; and lighting design by Jud Harmon, CSI Fine Arts Theatrical Technician. The play will be performed by Shane Brown and Camille Barigar. Tickets are $10 for adults or $5 for CSI or high school and under students and are available at the CSI Box Office, by calling 732-6288, at the door, or by going online to

On August 21,
of this year, the first total solar eclipse visible from the continental United States in 38 years will cut across the country from the northwest to the southeast. In the process, the path of totality will pass through central Idaho, a few hours' drive from the Magic Valley. This celestial event is one that people will not want to miss. Given clear weather, a total solar eclipse is a true celestial wonder and, for many, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. To help prepare Idahoans for this rare spectacle the Faulkner Planetarium is pleased to announce the opening of a new show on March 3
,
that will provide audiences with the knowledge required to make plans to witness what is being called "The Great American Eclipse."
Eclipse: The Sun Revealed, produced by the Adventure Science Center's Sudekum Planetarium in Nashville, TN, explores the history of solar eclipses, including how various cultures interpreted them, and the science of solar eclipses. Discover the alignments of the Sun, Moon and Earth that give rise to both solar and lunar eclipses. Explore why eclipses do not occur every month. Learn proper solar eclipse viewing techniques so that you can enjoy the unique experience while protecting your eyes from harm. Listen to an Italian man's moving account of his first total solar eclipse, in 2001, as the midday sky went dark in Zambia, Africa.
At the conclusion of the movie, the audience is treated to a live presentation, produced in-house at the Faulkner Planetarium, detailing the local circumstances of the total solar eclipse. Where will the path of totality cut across Idaho? Where are the best locations in the Gem State to view the eclipse? Which viewing methods are safe, and which aren't? These questions and others are answered in this live interactive presentation. It is time to start planning for where you will be on August 21, 2017. Get prepared by taking in this limited-time show; August 21
,
will be here before you know it.
The Faulkner Planetarium, Idaho's premiere planetarium, boasts the largest theater dome in the state at 50 feet. Located in the Herrett Center for Arts and Science on the College of Southern Idaho campus in Twin Falls, the Faulkner has been serving the public for 21 years, offering high quality educational and entertaining programming in a wide variety of topics, including astronomy, meteorology, paleontology, history, and more. Admission prices are $6 adults, $5 seniors, $4 children ages 2 through 17; children under age 2 are admitted free.

Now you can enjoy all the advantages of digital life with less of the drawbacks. TechShield™ Blue is a next-generation anti-reflective coating that reduces your blue light exposure from digital screens, energy-efficient lighting, and the sun.
Blue light from smartphones, tablets, and computer monitors can contribute to digital eye strain in as little as two hours of screen time. But you don't have to go off the grid to avoid dry, tired, irritated eyes, and blurred vision.
Enhancing your lenses with TechShield Blue helps you combat digital eye strain, allowing you to continue enjoying everything your devices deliver - minus the full blast of blue light.
Benefits Beyond Blue Light Reduction
Look Better
Appearance matters. TechShield Blue's attractive, near-clear appearance allows you to defend your eyes without compromising your looks.
Nearly 1/3 of Americans spend at least 9 hours a day exposed to blue light from devices.
See Better
It's hard to take everything in when you can't see past your nose. TechShield Blue resists scratches and smudges, cleans easily, and inhibits distracting glare and reflections.
Perform Better
By reducing blue light associated with digital eye strain, TechShield Blue allows you to spend more time taking care of business and less time nursing your eyes.
Feel Better
Peace of mind is priceless. Rest easier knowing you and those closest to you are taking in less blue light at work, school, home, and everywhere in between.

According to St. Luke's and SelectHealth, the second most shared health issue that our employees experience is depression and/or anxiety. Your CSI Employee Wellbeing Program would like to share information and resources to help you and your loved ones with these very common and highly treatable mental health problems.
What are the signs and symptoms? Please see this helpful film to learn more about it.
Most people feel anxious or depressed at times. Losing a loved one, getting fired from a job, going through a divorce, and other difficult situations can lead a person to feel sad, lonely, scared, nervous, or anxious. These feelings are normal reactions to life's stressors.
But some people experience these feelings daily or nearly daily for no apparent reason, making it difficult to carry on with normal, everyday functioning. These people may have an anxiety disorder, depression, or both.
It is not uncommon for someone with an anxiety disorder to also suffer from depression or vice versa. Nearly one-half of those diagnosed with depression are also diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. The good news is that these disorders are both treatable, separately and together.
Read on to find out more about the co-occurrence of anxiety and depression and how they can be treated.
