Strategic Initiatives
Over its 55 years, CIIS has sustained a profound commitment to innovation, integration, transformation, and discovery. This legacy serves as the inspiration for the bold institutional vision found in our new 6-year Strategic Plan: Building On Commitment: CIIS @ 60. It is through these initiatives that we can continue to fulfill our promise as the University for radically curious and committed people who are seeking meaningful growth, academic rigor, innovative research, and collaborative community in the service of self, society, and the world.
