The Asian Studies Center is a global resource for research and education about Asia, as well as a regional center for building Asian connections. Your gift means the Asian Studies Center can continue to support students and faculty members in their voyages of research and discovery. This will allow them to give back by sharing their knowledge and expertise with the university and the wider local and global communities. We rely on the generosity of students, faculty, alumni, and friends. Gifts of any amount are deeply appreciated. Your gift can be designated for a specific purpose such as undergraduate student travel, graduate student or faculty research, conferences, study abroad programs, or lecture series. We also welcome a conversation about creating new or named funds, and you can contact us with any questions. Thank you for your support.
