“It is when we work together that we can come to discover the best version of who we are and this is CUIB philosophy; in CUIB we believe that there are more things that unite us in this country than divide us, we train our students to have eyes that see what unites them than eyes that always see what divides them. CUIB holds this value of working together so dear that it is part of its assessment criteria.
