Herrett Forum Speaker Forum
|
War victims, refugees, and orphans made an impact on the life of Jim Jones during his deployment to Vietnam in 1968-69. Those observations became the foundation for many more experiences throughout Jones's life, which recently included being Chief Justice of the Idaho Supreme Court. The Herrett Forum welcomes Jones as its first speaker of the new school year season at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12. His topic is 'A Perspective on the World's Huddled Masses.'

LaVar Steel: Highlights From the Permanent Collection
|
Several works from one of southern Idaho's best-known artists will be on display for two months at the Herrett Center for Arts and Science.
'LaVar Steel - Highlights From the Permanent Collection' will be displayed in the Herrett Center's Jean B. King Gallery from Sept. 12 through Nov. 25. Steel was one of the first employees hired by CSI's founder, Dr. James Taylor, in 1965. At first, he taught almost all the art classes offered by the new college and eventually went on to chair the art department. Steel retired in 1997 and died in 2016.
