As we approach the 25th anniversary of the dedication of the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center, we look ahead to the next generation of human rights at the University of Connecticut. Through the Dodd Endowment, we seek to elevate the University’s human rights engagement programming and place it on sure financial footing for the next 25 years and beyond.

The Dodd Endowment preserves and extends the human rights legacies of Thomas J. Dodd and Christopher J. Dodd, Connecticut’s father-and-son senators, and recognizes the Dodd family’s support of and dedication to human rights at UConn. The Dodd Endowment provides resources for Dodd Human Rights Impact programs—or Dodd Impact. Dodd Impact focuses on religious intolerance, the legacy of the Nuremburg Trials and the Holocaust, and current human rights initiatives in education, business, and film and digital media, as well as democratic and civic engagement. 

In addition, when the Dodd Endowment reaches $2 million, we seek to establish the Christopher J. Dodd Chair of Human Rights Practice. The Dodd Chair will honor Senator Dodd’s contributions to the world and University and extend his legacy by creating a new and innovative space for the University’s human rights outreach and engagement work. This endowed chair will enable the University to attract the most dynamic and innovative scholar/leader to direct Dodd Impact and engage the broader public. 

Your support, together with the legacy of Christopher J. Dodd and Thomas J. Dodd, will make human rights outreach and engagement a permanent part of UConn’s mission.
