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.

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 during challenging economic times. Your tax-deductible gift helps us preserve our nation’s rich immigration history, lead path-breaking research, connect with communities, engage in public dialogue, and work with teachers and students.
