RMIAN Founding Board Member Hiroshi Motomura Honored as a Great Immigrant, Great American by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation

The Andrew Carnegie Foundation announced its annual list of “Great Immigrants, Great Americans” yesterday, recognizing 25 distinguished naturalized citizens whose contributions have strengthened America. We are excited to share that the honorees include RMIAN Founding Board Member, Hiroshi Motomura! Professor Motomura, a leading scholar of U.S. immigration and citizenship law, said “I’m honored to be part of the 2026 Class, especially at this moment. Immigrants have been part of this nation since its inception, though it is sometimes forgotten in these times. And I am a small part of a greater story that reminds us that those who come to the United States help create a stronger union. I am grateful to Andrew Carnegie Foundation for this recognition.”
