“Cool Schools”

For the first time, CI has been recognized by Sierra Magazine in its annual “Cool Schools” edition. This ranking evaluates colleges and universities based on sustainable practices and facilities in eleven categories. CI was ranked 57th among the schools included in the publication. While most schools in the rating are significantly larger than CI and have the benefit of well-funded campus sustainability programs. CI’s ranking was ½ point behind nearby Pepperdine University and ahead of campuses such as UC Riverside and the University of Michigan.  The complete ratings are available at

CI Reaches Recycling Rate of 63%

After setting a campus recycling goal of 60%, CI reached a recycling rate of 63%! A new goal of 70% has recently been established and we look to everyone on campus to help us in achieving or surpassing this goal. The campus’ success can be attributed to a heightened awareness of recycling and benefits to the environment,  as well as countless efforts that have been aimed at making recycling easier.

Additionally, CI recently installed new bins throughout the campus with specific compartments for waste and recyclable items. These bins provide a detail poster of what can be recycled to eliminate any confusion and hope that these efforts will help increase our recycling rates.

Members of Lacrosse Club named to 2012 All-Conference 2nd Team

CI student-athletes Tyler and Erik Larson were named to the 2012 Southwestern Lacrosse Conference (SLC) All-Conference Second Team for their outstanding play last season.   A recent graduate now enrolled in the University’s Credential Program, Tyler also served as the Club President and was instrumental in player recruitment and development initiatives and providing effective leadership both on and off the field.  This is the second straight year Tyler has earned this honor.

Erik, now a sophomore, had 17 goals and 17 assists in his rookie season.  Erik is one of only three freshman to be named to the All-Conference Team.  Both players have returned for the 2013 season and look to continue contributing to the success of the team.  Congratulations to Tyler and Erik for their accomplishments both on and off the field.
