CORNINGEXCHANGE STUDENTS HONORED Students of Olive View Elementary School demon- strated their holiday spirit by collecting more than 3,000 canned and dry food items to donate to families in the Corning community. This is the second annual canned food drive and stu- dents exceeded last year's total by 1,000 items. All donations were picked up by the Corning Fire Department and were distributed throughout the community. The student government at Olive View planned, im- plemented and coordinated this service project. As incentive to partici- pate, the class that brought in the most items had the opportunity to pie Principal Dave Sweringen and Assis- tant Principal Vickie Cutler. This year, Mr. Richardson's class earned this honor.

CHICO California State University, Chico has re- cently received two honors for excellence in civic en- gagement and community service. The Carnegie Founda- tion for the Advancement of Teaching has selected CSU, Chico to receive its 2015 Community Engage- ment Classification, which is given to schools with a deep involvement with lo- cal, regional, national and global communities. CSU, Chico was among an elite group of 74 col- leges and universities in the country to receive this des- ignation for the first time in 2006. Schools that received the classification in past years were invited to apply for a re-classification, which CSU, Chico received along with 156 other colleges and universities. In order to be selected, institutions have to provide descriptions and examples of institutional practices of community engagement that align with the school's mission, culture, leadership and resources. The Carnegie Founda- tion, through the work of the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education, de- veloped the first classifica- tion of American colleges and universities in 1970 as a research tool to describe the diversity of U.S. higher education. The Carnegie Classifi- cation of Institutions of Higher Education, now housed at Indiana Univer- sity Bloomington's Cen- ter for Postsecondary Re- search, continues to be used for a wide range of purposes and is considered the leading framework for describing institutions of higher learning. The Stanford-based Carnegie Foundation an- nounced its 2015 Commu- nity Engagement Classi- fication Jan. 7. The list of recipients plus criteria for selection can be found at this website. In December, CSU, Chico was notified that it has once again been named to the President's Higher Ed- ucation Community Ser- vice Honor Roll. It was the seventh time in eight years that the University received this designation. "The Honor Roll recog- nizes higher education in- stitutions that reflect the values of exemplary com- munity service and achieve meaningful outcomes in their communities," said Wendy Spencer, chief ex- ecutive officer of the Cor- poration for National and Community Service, in a letter to Honor Roll recip- ients. "Your selection to the Honor Roll is recognition from the highest levels of the federal government of your commitment to ser- vice and civic engagement on your campus and in our nation." Among CSU, Chico's achievements in commu- nity service are Annually, about 3,000 students from Community Action Volunteers in Edu- cation volunteer hours as classroom aides, as tutors and in many other much- needed capacities.

SIMPSON UNIVERSITY Pu bl ic c om men t so ug ht on nursing accreditation By Bob Christie TheAssociatedPress PHOENIX Arizona on Thursday became the first state in the nation to pass a law requiring high school students to pass a civics exam before gradu- ation. The swift action by the Arizona Legislature comes as states around the country take up sim- ilar measures. The pro- posal requires high school students to correctly an- swer 60 of 100 questions on the civics portion of the U.S. citizenship test. The test is being pushed nationally by the Scottsdale-based Joe Foss Institute, which has set a goal of having all 50 states adopt it by 2017, the 230th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution. The in- stitute says legislatures in 15 states are expected to consider it this year. Critics questioned the message the bill sends at a time when Arizona is facing a deficit and edu- cation funding crisis. Both the House and Senate quickly passed the bill at the beginning of the leg- islative session, and the newly elected Republican governor, Doug Ducey, has said he will sign it. The North Dakota House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved the same measure. ARIZONA State passes law requiring students to pass civics test January 23rd DO YOU WANT TO LOOK YEARS YOUNGER?
