Lincoln Hall, one of three residence halls operated by the East-West Center, is named after Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President of the United States (1861-1865). It is a four-story building that houses visiting scholars and short-term conference participants. The East-West Center is an education and research organization established by the U.S. Congress in 1960 to strengthen relations and understanding among the peoples and nations of Asia, the Pacific, and the United States. The Center serves as a hub for cooperative research, education, and dialogue on critical issues of common concern to the Asia Pacific region and the United States. Funding for the Center comes from the U.S. government, with additional support provided by private agencies, individuals, foundations, corporations, and the governments of the region.
