Support us

Supporting the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies (CCAS) means helping us prepare new generations of diplomats, scholars, teachers, policymakers and leaders across sectors capable of critical thought, constructive dialogue and creative engagement with the Arab world.

Contributions help us to advance research in the field of Arab Studies not only through academic programs, public events, education outreach and multimedia projects, but also by regularly hosting prominent scholars, visiting researchers and post-doctoral fellows at the Center.
