You Make Us Great
The Immigration History Research Center is a world-renowned interdisciplinary research center of migration, with a focus on immigration to the United States. Throughout the year the IHRC sponsors various events with university researchers and their international peers highlighting contemporary and past immigration issues. In addition, the IHRC is home to one of the most important collections of materials documenting U. S. immigration and refugee life, bringing to the University of Minnesota scholarly researchers from around the world.
What Your Gift Can Do
Your generous support for the IHRC is more critical than ever. It helps us keep, attract and retain the very best scholars and students even as state funding declines.
Your contribution allows us to ensure:
- Distinguished faculty leadership
Creating endowed chairs and professorships and supporting IHRC activities will help us recruit and retain outstanding faculty, including the director of the center. - Excellence and competitiveness of our graduate program
Faculty choose institutions that attract the best graduate students. We need to ensure the excellence and competitiveness of our graduate programs so that we can compete for the best faculty and brightest students.
Choose a Fund
To remain competitive, we need your support for a professorship and funds to allow us to make strategic investments in our department. We have several endowed funds that may interest you.
- IHRC Professorship: Establishes a professorship position that will assist the director of the IHRC to do research, build curriculum, educate scholars and bring in outstanding faculty and student researchers from around the world to participate in conferences and utilize the research collection.
- IHRC General Fund: Provides unrestricted support allowing the center to make key strategic investments in high-priority areas when opportunities and critical needs arise.
Your gift can help support the next generation of leaders and thinkers.
