ISU
Joe Jensen
POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) – Idaho State University has awarded a President’s Medallion to Joe Jensen, a longtime donor and alumnus.
Jensen was presented the award and recognized at the ISU Foundation’s April board meeting.
“Joe is incredibly deserving of this honor,” President Kevin Satterlee said. “His lifelong commitment and dedication to Idaho State has left a lasting legacy for the institution and our students. As busy as Joe was in his life, for 20 years, Joe traveled to Pocatello twice a year for foundation board meetings. Today, many of ISU’s significant and loyal donors owe their support, and we owe the fact that they support us, to Joe’s outreach on our behalf.”
1 Mary Chapman. The Bethel Hospital opened in 1713 as the first provincial mental hospital in the country. Mary Chapman (1647-1724) took a 1,000 year lease for a peppercorn rent for the site. At the time the concept of treating people with mental illness was not accepted practice and they were often ridiculed or locked away. The Bethel continued to offer psychiatric services until the 1980s.
2 The Chapel in the Fields. The Assembly House was built by local architect Thomas Ivory in 1755 on the site of a medieval hospital college which became known as the Chapel in the Fields. In 1609 the Hobart family of Blickling Hall built a town house here. Henry Hobart bought some of the fields surrounding the original Chapel in the Fields – including what is now Chapelfield Gardens.

L-Acoustics reinforces newly-opened 6MIC
6MIC’s Grand Concert Hall features an L-Acoustics Kara II system
France - Designed by architects Rudy Riciotti and Jean-Michel Battesti, 6MIC (pronounced ‘seismic’) in Aix-en-Provence has been turning heads since opening its doors for the very first time this summer. Its lichen-covered concrete structure - both a technical feat and a world first - is designed to give a mountain-esque appearance to the building, seamlessly blending into the natural landscape. 6MIC’s goal is to become an epicentre for music and culture throughout France. Therefore, they required a sound reinforcement system to reproduce various performance styles and keep a minimal carbon footprint. 6MIC chose to install L-Acoustics throughout all performance spaces to hit both of these goals.
