Water Seminar: Inundation mapping for California State Water Project dams and critical appurtenant structures
College of Engineering and Computer Science
Inundation maps showing flooding that could result from a hypothetical failure (breach) of the dam and its related critical appurtenant structures are an important part of emergency planning and response. In 2017, California Senate Bill 92 added Sections 6160 and 6161 to the California Water Code, requiring owners of state jurisdictional dams, except those classified as “low hazard” by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD), to prepare inundation maps. Dam owners are required to submit inundation maps to DSOD for approval. Once approved by DSOD, these maps are to be incorporated into emergency action plans (EAPs). The EAPs must, in turn, be submitted to the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES). This presentation describes how DWR develops these regulatory inundation maps for State Water Project (SWP) dams and critical appurtenant structures.

Basic Sailing Keelboat Class - 02
ASI
Our Keelboat class will introduce you to two different boats: the Holder 20 and the RS Venture. Both have a mainsail and jib. The keelboats require two people to rent at the Aquatic Center (only one person needs to be certified). Students will be grouped for on-the-water training. The Holder 20 is perfect for those interested in learning how to sail a larger style of sailboat while the Venture bridges the gap between the Quest and the Holder. Both keelboats have bench style seating and can comfortably accommodate 4-5 adults. On-the-water skills covered include docking, person overboard recovery, and sail trim. Students will be required to perform a brief swim test. There is no capsize recovery required as the boat is extremely unlikely to capsize.
Cost: Student: $150 | Staff/Faculty: $220 | Alumni: $240 | General Public $245. Event Type: Recreation.

Promoted into Incompetence: Why Good Workers Become Poor Leaders—And How Organizations Can Change That
Learning & Development
*SPECIAL 2-PART WEBINAR* Part One April 30, Part Two May 7
Why do technically skilled employees sometimes falter when promoted into leadership roles? Drawing on research and real-world experience across government, higher education, and the nonprofit sector, Dr. David E. Fraser explores how well-intentioned promotion practices can unintentionally set employees up for failure. This two-part CSU Systemwide webinar examines the “competence trap” and its organizational drivers in Session One, followed by practical, evidence-based solutions in Session Two. Participants will gain insight into how to better identify leadership readiness, strengthen internal mentorship pipelines, and realign promotion systems for long-term organizational success. Based on his forthcoming book, Promoted into Incompetence, Dr. Fraser’s engaging sessions blend scholarship, humor, and practical wisdom for leaders at every level.

ChatGPT for Administrative Efficiency: Building Reusable Workflows That Reduce Rework
Learning & Development
Facilitated by Chris Tauchman, CSU Chico
All employees invited to participate!
This session explores how CSU staff can move beyond one-off AI use and begin applying ChatGPT through simple, repeatable workflows that reduce rework and improve consistency across everyday tasks. Designed for participants who have already experimented with ChatGPT, the workshop focuses on how to structure interactions so context, intent, and quality carry forward instead of starting from scratch each time. Participants will see how to turn rough inputs into decision-ready outputs, reuse effective prompts across similar tasks, and refine results without increasing effort. Rather than focusing on individual tasks, the session emphasizes workflow thinking, including preparing inputs, guiding outputs, and improving results through iteration, while maintaining human judgment and responsibility. The session includes demonstration and guided discussion. No pre-work is required. Meeting ID: 891 0614 9181 Passcode: 490167.
