Curiosity Opens New Pathways

We asked our faculty and students a single question: "What curiosity brought you to CIIS?"

I've always had curiosity and wonder about our true potential. CIIS allows human beings to dream bigger and break out of the habits of lower expectations.”

Matthew D. Segall Associate Professor, Philosophy, Cosmology and Consciousness

Curiosity about life and work of Sri Aurobindo and how our society, political structures, and educational structures could allow us to exist in coherence and harmony.”

Daria Grigoreva Ph.D. Class of 2026, Philosophy, Cosmology and Consciousness

I was and remain fascinated by existence. I was drawn by amazement and astonishment at existence itself, and found a community that understood that astonishment.”
