The mobile applications will allow users to access CIM content through their handheld devices, including:

• CIM in the News

• Streaming concert audio

• Videos of performances

• Photos, and more!

Smartphone users can download the application from their mobile market place, or visit cim.edu to be directed to the Mobile Web. Both the app and access to the Mobile Web are free.
