You Make Us Great

With your support, the Asian American studies program will continue to provide ground-breaking research and creative work; ties to local, national, and international communities; and a curriculum that reflects the experiences and needs of our increasingly diverse student body.

Areas of Need

The Carolyn Nayematsu Award in Asian American Studies honors Carolyn Nayematsu, whose mentorship has helped transform the University of Minnesota and has left a legacy of leadership in higher education. The award acknowledges exceptional undergraduate and graduate student leadership, community engagement, and scholarship related to Asian American studies. It recognizes those who have demonstrated outstanding leadership skills, made significant contributions to community service and advocacy, or distinguished themselves as new scholars in the interdisciplinary field of Asian American studies.

Your gift to this fund would make a significant difference in the lives of our students, whether it is by helping to fund their tuition or supporting their ability to conduct and present their research at scholarly gatherings. We deeply appreciate your commitment to future Asian American studies students and scholars.
