Show your support for the Abbasi Program on #GivingTuesday
On Tuesday, December 1, 2015, the Abbasi Program is joining forces with over 30,000 organizations in 68 countries to give back to the causes they love. #GivingTuesday is a global movement to celebrate and encourage giving as opposed to post-Thanksgiving consumerism.
We invite you to celebrate and support the Abbasi Program’s mission to advance Islamic Studies at Stanford University through research, teaching and outreach. Please take a moment to review our affiliates’ publications, our students’ grant reports, our faculty’s courses, and our multi-media library. Help us meet our mission to enhance genuine understanding of the histories, cultures, and languages of Islam and Muslim societies across the globe.
