The Global Studies Center promotes critical thinking and practical engagement with the world through the interdisciplinary study of globalization. Your gift to the Global Studies Center will ensure that we have resources to convene global communities of researchers, educators, and leaders to expand frontiers of knowledge, work to solve real-world problems that affect us all, and foster a campus environment of global awareness and engagement. We also welcome a conversation about creating new or named funds, and you can contact us with any questions. Thank you for your support.
