Council of Indian Students (CIS)
Due to the ever-increasing number of Indian students at RWU, the students from India decided to form a council under the simple motto "With the students, for the students, by the students". Since its inception in 2016, the Council of Indian Students has been working towards a homogeneous and homely atmosphere for Indian students who wish to attend one of the many courses at the university and for the students who live here. The CIS promotes a healthy and friendly coexistence not only between Indians, but simply between everyone.
CIS also wants to celebrate the many Indian festivals so that students do not miss their families. CIS also promotes intercultural and interfaith festivals and traditions. An annual cricket tournament in the summer semester is also on the program.
