Please remember that the Center for Arab American Studies is here to serve your community.

If you have a story or historical documents to share, we are here to collect them and get them into safe hands. If you need training to ground the work you do (or plan to do) in the Arab American community, we offer a Minor and a Certificate in Arab American Studies. If you are aresearcher searching for a helping hand, we have decades of experience and connections to share.

So reach out to us!

And remember that we can use your help as well. It costs money to train students in community-based research; to publish research and public history projects; to create art installations and podcasts that share the Arab American and Muslim American stories; and to welcome the many artists and scholars we present on campus every year.

If you are able to support CAAS with a gift of any size, or with a story,

please reach out to us here!
