By donating to CMSI, you are helping us:
- Spread public awareness of Minority Serving Institutions and how they are benefiting our country's most underrepresented students
-Provide opportunities such as study abroad scholarships, professional development workshops, and research opportunities for MSI faculty, students, staff, and leadership
-Produce original research on MSIs and the innovative programs they've developed to aid students from minority backgrounds
Your generosity has allowed us to launch programs such as Project Passport, which will provide 10-12 MSIs each year with comprehensive programming to expand their study abroad programs (including scholarships and free passports for students), as well as our annual MSI Graduate Student Weekend and ELEVATE programs. With your help, we've also been able to partner with the Mellon Foundation to prepare 90 students from Hispanic Serving Institutions to become college professors and increase faculty diversity. Finally, your donations have allowed us to produce in-depth reports, offer research fellowships, and even create a grant writing guide for MSI practitioners.
Now that the Center has become more established, we are aiming to expand the scope of our support for as many MSIs and their students as we can. This is why #GIVE is about more than fundraising--it is about collectively demonstrating our commitment to lifting MSIs, students of color, and the diversity of our nation.
