    At the Institute...

    • CSI Communities Upgrade Coming Soon. Upgrades to the CSI Communities experience are coming in early September. This enhanced experience, which includes an upgraded look and feel, is the beginning of investments to make it easier to chat online with peers and find solutions.

      What to Expect:
      -New CSI Communities Website. Accessing online communities, including CSI-Connect, will happen on a separate site dedicated to collaboration. Your CSI login credentials will not change.
      -New Activity Feed. Posts from all your communities will live in a single feed with a visual design similar to popular social media sites, making it easier to see content and interact with peers.
      -A Community-specific Profile. Your community-specific settings—like notifications, contacts, and contributions—will be easier to find. Your settings will not change, and the community profile will include links to your CSI Hub where you can edit your contact information, review purchases, and renew certifications.
      -Digest Emails Don’t Change. You’ll continue to receive CSI Community Digest emails based on your current preferences.
