Our Mission

The mission of the International Institute of New England is to create opportunities for refugees and immigrants to succeed through resettlement, education, career advancement and pathways to citizenship.

Our History

The International Institute was founded in 1918 in Lowell, Massachusetts as a community effort to welcome new Americans emigrating to the area. Today, our organization serves 2,000 refugees and immigrants with programs in three cities: Boston, Lowell, and Manchester, NH.

Golden Door Award

The Golden Door Award has been an IINE tradition for more than 40 years. The honoree is a U.S. citizen of foreign birth who has made an outstanding contribution to American life. It is an occasion that calls us to stand together in celebration of the achievements of new Americans who have played an integral role in our community, economy, and society.

The Award takes its name from Emma Lazarus’s words, which are inscribed at the base of the Statue of Liberty: “From her beacon hand glows world-wide welcome… I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

Past Award Honorees

In recent years, the Golden Door honor has been awarded to Flagship Pioneering founder and CEO Dr. Noubar Afeyan, Brooks Brothers’ CEO Claudio Del Vecchio, Massachusetts Supreme Court Justice Margaret Marshall, former CEO Henri Termeer, and others whose professional commitment to excellence and innovation created an enduring legacy in New England and beyond.

Other recipients include artistic luminaries such as legendary Boston Pops conductor Arthur Fielder, Boston Philharmonic conductor Benjamin Zander, author Jill Ker Conway, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma; a legacy that began when the award was first given in 1970 to the visionary architect I.M. Pei.

DR. L. RAFAEL REIF President, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Since July 2012, Rafael Reif has served as the 17th President of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he is leading MIT’s pioneering efforts to help shape the future of higher education.

A champion for both fundamental science and MIT’s signature style of interdisciplinary, problem-centered research, he is also pursuing an aggressive agenda to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship.

Dr. Reif received his undergraduate degree from Universidad de Carabobo, Valencia, Venezuela, and served for a year as an assistant professor at Universidad Simón Bolívar in Caracas. He earned his doctorate in electrical engineering from Stanford University and joined MIT’s faculty in 1980. Since assuming the role of MIT’s president in July 2012, he has pursued opportunities to focus the Institute strengths – in education, research, and innovation – to advance solutions to global challenges.

Under Dr. Reif’s leadership, MIT has demonstrated its sustained support for the Institute’s international students. Following the January 2017 federal travel ban of immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries, he penned an eloquent letter to the MIT community describing the ban as a violation of America’s values as a nation of immigrants: fairness, equality, openness, generosity and courage.

“In a nation made rich by immigrants,” he wrote at the time, “Why would we signal to the world that we no longer welcome new talent?”

IINE and MIT share a deep commitment to supporting the vital role immigrants play as catalysts in New England’s economy, industry, and innovation spaces. IINE is grateful to have this opportunity to recognize Dr. Reif’s leadership and vision.
