Thank you to North Canyon Medical Center (NCMC) for your generosity!
NCMC donated much needed learning supplies to many of the programs housed in the CSI Health Sciences and Human Services building, as well as the Vet Tech program. The supplies that couldn't be used by students were given to Care Convoy to benefit the needs of many in Mexico and other countries.
"We are grateful for the partnership that we have with this facility," said Melisa Robinson, CSI ASNP Clinical Instructor and Lab Coordinator.

We are excited to announce the second year of the Statewide GEM Teaching Awards!
A bit of background: for several years now all of our general education faculty have been working tirelessly to design courses that adhere to the state Way of Knowing Outcomes (Written Communication, Oral Communication, Social and Behavioral Ways of Knowing, Artistic and Humanistic Ways of Knowing, Mathematical Ways of Knowing, Scientific Ways of Knowing, and GNED/Wellness). Many have participated in state level meetings and all have worked to revise courses, assignments, and assessments. In celebration of this work, the State Board of Education is recognizing outstanding faculty in each of these Way of Knowing areas. Last year was the inaugural year for the awards and we're excited that they are continuing this year as well.
The State Board faculty recognitions officially happen in September at the State General Education Summit, but our campus-wide nomination process will start now and open nominations will continue through February 18th.
Nominations will be accepted from everyone who would like to participate (students, fellow faculty, department chairs, etc.). Nominating a general education faculty member is easy! Simply send an email of nomination that includes the name of the faculty member and the course(s) for which the instructor is being nominated. In the email, include reasons to highlight this instructor and the outstanding work that he/she does with students.
N
omination emails should be sent to Amy Barker at
[email protected]
by February 18th.
After the 18th,
our own internal process will decide upon our campus nominees to the larger statewide awards. Winners at the campus level will be asked to provide a short vita as well as a sample general education assignment to represent CSI at the state level.
Please feel free to share this email with anyone (especially your students) who might be interested in nominating an outstanding general education faculty member. We have the best general education faculty in the state and it's exciting to have a venue where they can be recognized for the awesome work they do with students!! Let me know if you have any questions and we look forward to all of the nominations.
Thank you!
