Bert's Alerts - January 6, 2017
In the Spotlight
Severe winter weather may have closed College of Western Idaho’s (CWI) offices and services this week, but that didn’t mean all employees were home enjoying snow days. The CWI community returned to campus Friday (Jan. 6) to plowed parking lots and shoveled sidewalks thanks to the hard work of the College’s Facilities Management team. Thank you to everyone involved in keeping CWI operating during these challenging times.
