MIU Coronavirus Information
MIU is currently teaching classes both online and in class. We recommend students attend at least two classes per week in class and the balance in their dormitory rooms through live, 2-way video interaction.
Also, we are taking proactive measures to minimize the health and safety risks to our campus and the broader community, including social distancing guidance and self-care recommendations. Many of our students remain in the campus community. They feel safer from Covid-19 here.
Up to 100% tax deduction for charitable donations this calendar year due to the COVID-19 pandemic aid. Click here to learn more
The Joy of Giving to
MIU
“I love supporting MIU because it deals with the root causes, not the symptoms, and in so doing, effects real change. It brings me great joy to be a small cog in the wheel that is MIU, as our world moves toward unity and peace.” Esther (Rainie) York
Your gifts to MIU help create a better, more peaceful world. At MIU students from many places, cultures, and backgrounds experience growth of inner peace, wellness, and positive values.
At the same time, their studies prepare them to become leaders in society: in the arts, film, business, computer science, physics, and regenerative agriculture.
Your donations also support the growing interest in programs of consciousness development and health:
Maharishi Vedic Science, Maharishi Ayurveda, and Integrative Medicine.
During these unusual times your gifts have made and will continue to make it possible for MIU to meet the extra cost of changes needed to deliver hybrid teaching on campus and expand off campus online courses.
This year your Annual Fund support also goes to modification of campus buildings and services for the safety and good health of students, faculty, administrators, and staff.
Why I donate to MIU
“I donate to MIU because it is a wellspring for knowledge that goes much deeper than book learning or academic achievement. MIU educates for direct experience of enlightenment. It educates for the evolution of the individual and for the evolution of the nation and of the world.” – Tony Warren
