Commuters in Action (CIA)

The Sixth College student organization, Commuters In Action (CIA)  provides opportunities for Sixth College commuter students to plan and participate in social events. Participating in CIA is an excellent way to meet other commuter students.

CIA is here to help commuters:

  • Feel like they are a part of the University
  • Get involved with Sixth College
