Mission Statement
CISA and its associates promote five pillars of engagement that enable cross-cultural understanding of communities in India, South Asia, and the diaspora:
- partnerships and student exchanges with Indian and South Asian universities and regional study abroad providers
- integration of Indian and South Asian content into curricular and co-curricular programming
- research and publications on India and South Asia
- public seminars, academic conferences, and special events highlighting Indian and South Asian cultures, histories, spiritual traditions, politics, social and economic development, and contemporary issues
- outreach to Indian and South Asian communities in central Florida
Through these activities, CISA serves as a forum for dialogue, collaboration, and the dissemination of knowledge about India, South Asia, and its communities within the evolving global landscape. Our primary goal is to enhance Rollins College’s role as a national and international leader in educational exchanges, research on India and South Asia, and public engagement.
