Welcome to the SAID website!
International development is as diverse a topic as the nations of our planet - yet it is interconnected in important ways. Hopefully, what you find on this website will help you explore what international development is and where you might fit into it.
SAIDtogether
This is the Stanford student community's primary international development list. The list is used to notify members of the Stanford international development community about events that SAID is sponsoring or co-sponsoring, as well as other important development-related programming or opportunities on campus. It is a low-traffic last that receives less than 5 emails a week, posted by SAID staff members only. To subscribe send an email to saidtogether-join@lists.stanford.edu (topic and body of email are ignored).
News & Updates
Krasner event wrap-up
The discussion on Foreign Aid with the student panel and Prof. Krasner went extremely well. All five student speakers were excellent, and a lively discussion with Dr. Krasner ensued after his own thoughtful remarks.
We look forward to continuing this model of student participation next year, and we encourage students to continue sharing their views.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this event a success!

Visions of The Future
At our most recent SAID meeting, we thought about how we could organize our programming around a central theme. Ultimately, it was decided, SAID is a networking organization. SAID hopes to act as a connector between students interested in international development and the other students, NGOs, and faculty available to them.
