The SPRING 2024 CSIEME Dinner will be held on Thursday, April 18, 2024 @ 7 p.m. at KOMOL Thai Restaurant, 953 E. Sahara Avenue, Suite #E-10, Las Vegas, NV, 89104, (702) 731-9268. KOMOL is located inside the very large Commercial Center. Coming from campus, head North on Maryland. Go two miles to Sahara (about 2 miles), turn left onto Sahara and go to the first light (about 1/10 of a mile). Turn left at that light onto Commercial Center Drive. You will immediately come to a small concrete road divider, when you do, turn right and drive alongside the divider until it ends (it's not very long), then turn immediately left and continue forward. KOMOL will be on your left in the middle of the block of businesses on that side (which is in the middle) of the Center. Here’s a link to KOMOL’s very robust menu: https://komolrestaurant.com/#
Please RSVP below! However, for the critical love of, and critical care for, our CSIEME community, if you’re not 🤒 feeling well 🤕, please stay home and take care of you! ❤️🩹 We promise to invoke your spirit 🧘🏽♀️ and to share photos with you.
As always, we hope that with this advance notice everyone can arrange to join us, at least for part of the time (come early or late, even if just for a few minutes)—it is never the same when not everyone is there! If this is not possible, of course we understand and will still toast you and your accomplishments! If you know for sure you will not be able to join us in person, consider recording and then sending us a short video to say hello and to update us on what you are working on/doing in your personal, academic, professional life to share at the dinner!
For those of you new to this dinner—WELCOME! For the rest of you—WELCOME BACK!!
For all attendees, the purpose of the dinner is…to build, deepen, and sustain relationships as a part of a critically loving teacher-scholar-activist community.
For students, the purpose of this dinner is also…to discuss, relative to your programs of study, where each of you are, what you have already and still want to accomplish this semester/academic year, and what you need from the community to achieve your goals.
We will continue the CSIEME Dinner tradition of honoring continuing and new CSIEME program students and students in other programs who are CSIEME-connected (at all academic levels, full or part-time), as well as faculty, affiliate faculty, part-time instructors, and graduate teaching assistants!
As an FYI, this dinner is organized around:
1) the students that are in the CSIEME specializations at either the doctoral or masters level (and certificate programs), as well as CSIEME graduates who are still living locally/visiting the area;
2) masters and doctoral students in other specializations whose committees CSIEME core faculty chair or sit on as a member, as well as graduates who are still living locally/visiting the area; AND,
3) all affiliated/interested “others.”
The dinner is designed to be intersectionally inclusive and affirming, not cliquey, so if you know of other colleagues who would like to attend, please invite them and let us know they are coming. Also, please let us know if we missed someone that you know should be included based on the “organizing” criteria :-)
And, as is always the case, children, significant others, other family and friends are welcome to join us, just let us know they are coming!
REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE…and to continuing to build connections with veteran’s in, and newbies to, our community!

Image descriptions for three smaller images above this text box:
Left: A poster by artist Favianna Rodríguez. Dark brown background with the words, in lighter brown and gold, "the artist must fight for justice & peace" at the top. Below the words is a geometrically blocked (in the known style of the artist) brown-skinned person (an artist) wearing a dark pink head scarf from the bottom of which shoulder length cobalt blue curly hair emerges. The person is wearing a v-neck gold shirt and holding a thin gold paintbrush. See photo hyperlink and alt-text for additional information.
Center: A poster by artist Favianna Rodríguez. Shades of gold and orange comprise the background. In the center are two geometrically blocked (in the known style of the artist) brown-skinned people in profile standing side-by-side; they each have an arm and hand outstretched toward what looks like a blue harp-shaped object in from of them--periodically within this object are gray stone-like objects and dark purple swirls. See photo hyperlink and alt-text for additional information.
Right: A poster by artist Favianna Rodríguez. Dark brown background with the words, in white and gold, "The World vs. the 1%" at the bottom. Above the words are two geometrically blocked (in the known style of the artist) brown-skinned people--one in the foreground, the other in the background, both have their mouths open as if speaking with great intention. Below these two people and behind the words in black silhouette is a line of people in a protest march with their arms stretched upward. See photo hyperlink and alt-text for additional information.
Image Description for background tiled image surrounding this text box and all other images on this smore page: A graphic design image credited to Indonesian artist, Ngupakarti, titled "Batik," described by the artist as, "Ikat geometric pattern with tribal background vector texture. Seamless striped motif in Aztec symbol." Hand drawn with South Asian, Scandinavian, Romani, and Mexican, folk patterns for fashion print and textile wrapping.
Image Description for the single larger image below the RSVP (further below): A public mural located at 3100 block of Chestnut in Oakland, California titled, "Housing Justice," by (all tagged here): The Community, Bay Area Mural Project, Kiss My Black Arts, Natty Rebel, Creative Shields, @imnarchitect/, Alena Museum, @iam_niyya/, Queen Shushan, Exhale and Paint, photographed by @eggshell001, and inspired by John T. Biggers for the Bay Area Mural Program (BAMP). Part of the Oakland Murals living archive. The mural depicts a neighborhood with a black city scape in the background against a red skyline; in the foreground are five tiers of small row homes (some are tents or covered with a tarp), most are pale peach, pale blue, pale brown, or grey, a few have darker color blue, green, orange, and brown features (doors, front walls, windows, tarps or tents, front steps) and all have triangular roofs. A few have their doors open and the inside room (bedroom, entry way, living room) areas are partially visible. There is one person visible from the back with dark short hair and a blue shirt on in the forth row. Otherwise there are people only on the front stoop of the seven house in the front row. The people are from left to right, a Black-presenting female-presenting caregiver in a long red and pink dress and Black-presenting, non-binary-presenting child in a blue shirt and pants, a white-presenting male-presenting adult in a white t-shirt and blue overalls, a Black-presenting, male-presenting adult in a grey suit, a Black-presenting, female-presenting elder in a long white dress, a Brown-presenting, female-presenting adult in a long white and black dress, an Asian-presenting non-binary presenting adult in a sun hat, orange t-shirt and blue pants, and a Brown-presenting, male presenting elder in a green shirt and blue pants leaning on black cane in his left hand; all of the adults are holding a miniature home in in front of their chests. In front of the front row of homes lies (horizontally) a "white picket fence" on a red background. The mural is painted on a brick wall near a bridge to the left rear, utility poles to the right rear, and an uneven concrete sidewalk in front. See photo hyperlink for additional information.
