Welcome to the 2015-2016 Academic Year!

As we start the Spring 2016 year we are hoping to connect with you all and get to know one another better!  We also hope to use this blog to keep everyone updated on all of the amazing events and opportunities to attend.  We also have committees and other opportunities for you all to gain leadership and professional experience.  Here is a look at the Fall 2015 semester.

Again welcome to CSI!

Review of Fall 2015 Events/Activities

  • Kick-off gathering-  Although it was rainy and cold we still enjoyed getting to know one another at the August welcome back kick off party.  
  • September started off fast and we were able to have an ice cream social with an abundance of toppings!  
  • October we were busy attending the fall speaker series on campus, hosting the fall panel, and having our first member meeting.  
  • November we were thankful to have the chance to participate in the tunnel of oppression on campus as a group.  Additionally we were able to start creating committees for others to get involved in.  Currently we have three, self-care, professional development, and community services/involvement.  View the Committee's page to learn more!
  • Again in November we were SO thankful to have a six hour trauma informed care training by Renee from CRC in Madison.  We as a board were so excited that we had a total of 31 students participate:)  Congratulations to all of you for taking additional steps to enhance your professional development by participating!  
  • December wrapped up quickly as we had our last member meeting of the year.  
    • This was a great time to connect with each other and share possible books we all can read during winter break to add to our personal and professional development.
    • We also had one of our board members Anthony lead up in a mindfulness meditation!  I don't know what better way than to end the semester.  Thank you Anthony for providing us with the opportunity to find some relaxation as the semester closes!  
  • We hope to see you all come February!  We have an awesome Spring semester ahead for all of us.  Please check out this site for additional information such as:
