Support the International Studies Institute

Your generosity makes a difference. Every contribution to the ISI helps sustain the programs, public lectures, and student opportunities that connect the Albuquerque community and the state of New Mexico to the wider world. We are deeply grateful to our donors and supporters, whose investment in global understanding extends far beyond the classroom.

As we work to build a stronger, more expansive foundation for the Institute, we invite you to join our growing community of sponsors and donors. Together, we can expand access to international education, bring more voices and perspectives to our campus, and prepare the next generation of globally engaged citizens.
