16. Who are they?
• "Colleges That Change Lives" is a
designation given to 40 selected liberal
arts universities that are widely
recognized for changing positively the
lives of their students and exceeding the
Ivy League and major universities in
producing winners. These schools were
first identified in Loren Pope's book
Colleges That Change Lives in 1996.
• CTCL colleges focus on teaching as well as
providing a supportive community for
their students. In the introduction to the
second edition of his book, Pope wrote
"This book will help youths of many levels
of academic aptitude find catalytic
colleges that will change their lives, help
them find themselves, raise their
aspirations, and empower them."
• Come and learn more about these
powerful universities.

20. Wellness Compass – SIP Committee
• Born out of the GIN Manila Conference and the work
our students were a part of there.
• An opportunity for ALL ISM stakeholders to assess
ISM’s sustainability through 4 areas/compasses
(Nature, Society, Economy and Well- Being).
• The “pyramid” is the structure of the process we are
following as we assess ISM
• Task of compiling appropriate indicators of
sustainability (or lack thereof) with a goal of
developing action plans for improvement at ISM.
• Stakeholder included students, faculty, parents and
other ISM community members.
21. Wellness Compass – SIP Committee
• As part of the Wellness compass, a common
question/theme came up in all our discussions.
• “How can we begin to accurately assess the
overall sustainability of ISM (from a wellness
perspective) as an organization if we are not
absolutely clear as to the sustainability
(physical/social/emotional health) of our own
student body?”
22. Wellness Compass – SIP Committee
