Stanford is a diverse community, mirroring the rich cultural mix of the San Francisco Bay Area and the entire world.  The President and Provost have declared that increasing the diversity of students, staff, and faculty at Stanford University is of critical importance.  A diverse and inclusive community offers different perspectives, experiences, and cultures that enrich the educational experience.

"Stanford is a place where people are valued and are able to do their best work. We take pride in the incredible diversity of our population of students, faculty and staff. They bring many backgrounds, experiences and perspectives that make this special place so strong and vibrant."
