CENTER FOR SOUTH ASIAN STUDIES STRATEGIC FUND - 362651

The Center for South Asian Studies at the University of Michigan is a national leader in promoting a deeper understanding of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka.

To advance our mission, CSAS promotes education about South Asia; helps to recruit international faculty and to arrange visits by prominent scholars, artists, public officials, and others from across the globe; and supports collaborative research projects with scholars and institutions throughout the world. To increase the impact of these scholarly activities, CSAS also organizes public programs that place discussion of global issues at the forefront of our and the University's mission.

The Strategic Fund allows CSAS to pursue its mission to promote a broader and deeper understanding of South Asia and its histories, cultures, and peoples. Unrestricted gifts to this fund permit the center to support ongoing programming: scholarly lectures, film series, student conferences, outreach to schools, and other events and programs that further public knowledge and awareness of South Asia. Gifts of any amount increase the center’s ability to respond to new initiatives and needs as they emerge.
