Making a Gift to International Studies

Building Cornell's Global Impact in the 21st Century

If you believe in the importance of education in improving our understanding of the world and its many cultures… If you are concerned about America’s role on the world stage… If you are keenly interested in key economic, environmental, and political problems facing the world today… Then we hope you will consider making a gift to support international studies at Cornell.

As Cornell continues to evolve into a truly transnational university, your gift will help fully integrate international studies into the intellectual life of its students. It will enable the Einaudi Center and our associated Programs to implement important new initiatives and respond quickly and appropriately to compelling opportunities. Ultimately, it will help to enhance Cornell’s standing and reputation for excellence in area studies and global issues.

Your gift may be unrestricted or dedicated to the support of something you feel strongly about. We offer a variety of opportunities for giving that will have a significant impact on promoting international studies at Cornell. If you would like further information, please contact us or any of our associated Programs.
