Carnegie Foundation unveils 2026’s ‘Great Immigrants, Great Americans’ list
The annual list honors immigrants whose work spans business, science, arts and academia, with honorees from 16 countries, the foundation said.
- On Tuesday, the Andrew Carnegie Foundation announced its 2026 class of "Great Immigrants, Great Americans" honorees, recognizing individuals who have made significant contributions across healthcare, music, and academia.
- Recently renamed from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the foundation launched these awards in 2005; this year's class features Citi CEO Jane Fraser, Pulitzer Prize-winning authors Hernan Diaz and Cristina Rivera Garza, and fashion designer Gabriela Hearst.
- Included in the 2026 class are Incredible Health CEO Iman Abuzeid, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra conductor Cristian Macelaru, and Harvard University professor Gregory Nagy, whose unique perspectives enrich American society.
- Foundation President Dame Louise Richardson stated the awards are not political, while arguing that movement against visas for highly skilled people "strikes me as an act of self-harm on a national level."
- The announcement arrives amid debates over U.S. immigration policy following last week's Supreme Court rulings, as advocates emphasize that immigrants remain essential economic engines distinct from media portrayals.
