Student Government
Welcome to ASCSI
Welcome to the Associated Students of the College of Southern Idaho (ASCSI), also known as the Student Senate. The student senate is a elected body of student representatives that helps ensure student concerns both heard and answered as well as that their ideas are valued, considered, and potentially implemented.

Hey! I'm Riley Hayes, a student here at CSI. I am from Bear Lake and chose to come here because of the super friendly demeanor and sense of community. Agriculture is my life; I was raised on a Black-Angus cattle ranch and enjoy being out in the ranges. I'm currently an Agriculture- Education major with the desire to serve as an Ag teacher in the high-schools of Idaho. I love to serve others and always enjoy a good conversation, a laugh, and of course, always, a good potato. |
