Diversity Outreach

The Stanford campus community is diverse. Therefore a wide array of cultures, talents and interests are represented throughout the classrooms, dormitories, theaters, sports arenas and government.  This enriches all students’ educational experience and contributes broadly to the Stanford reputation as a world-class university. The rewards and the challenges of providing good academic guidance to students lie in the unique backgrounds, interests and experiences students bring to campus.

Various offices and individuals are dedicated to ensuring that all students have a strong sense of belonging and can obtain maximum benefit from the host of opportunities available to them at Stanford.
