The Alumni Survey
Thanks to all alums who completed the 2011 Alumni Survey online and via mail. Some of the data about your professional life will be useful in our continued re-accreditation process with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). The results can be reviewed here.
Integral Inspirations
Integral Inspirations is an organization run by CIIS Alumni that is dedicated to producing films grounded in the belief that an evolutionary leap in human consciousness is humanity's potential and birthright, and may be our best hope if we are to continue the human adventure. If you haven't had a chance please visit their website at www.integralinspirations.com
The website features videos and information on two films. Integral Counsciousness, Sri Aurobindo's Yoga and how Haridas Chaudhuri brought it to the West, which features the philosophy and history of Sri Aurobindo and CIIS. There is trailer on the website and clips from the current production, Conscious.
Please take a look and to receive regular updates as production progresses through Facebook, press the 'I Like' button on the HOME page or alternatively send an e-mail through "Contact Us', they would love to hear from you.
