About Student Alliance

Student Alliance is a student-run organization that facilitates communication, sponsors events, and allocates funding to help students and student groups actualize the seven institute ideals. Listening to student voices, we build alliances, cultivate student leadership, and advocate for social change and transformation of existing power structures.

Student Alliance meets monthly. The meetings are open to all students. At meetings, all present have the opportunity to vote on new student group proposals and event proposals. Any student can propose a new student group or present a proposal for an event to be funded. The groups and events must be open to all students at CIIS in order to be funded by Student Alliance.

Tia Phillips is the current Student Alliance Coordinator and can be reached at studentalliance@ciis.edu or in Room 401. Regina Gelfo is the Website Coordinator for the Student Alliance website and can be reached at webcoordinator@ciisstudentalliance.com.
