Diversity and Inclusion at Stanford University

When we opened in 1891, our initial class of students included groups who had historically been denied equal access to higher education, such as women, Native and Black Americans. And we’re constantly evolving to live up to the ideal that all are welcome, even as we acknowledge past wrongs.

Working towards a diverse campus, where people from all types of backgrounds could work, learn and innovate together has contributed to our legacy of impact.

Visit the Stanford IDEAL (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Access in a Learning Environment) website (https://ideal.stanford.edu/) to learn more about our cross-campus initiatives to create an inclusive, accessible, diverse and equitable university for all our community members.

How we support diversity, equity and inclusion:

Embracing perspectives

We nurture a culture of mutual respect, where we embrace diverse points of view and an open exchange of ideas in service to continuous learning for all.

Advancing equity

We seek equity in all aspects of our work, such as recruiting, hiring and promotion processes, and in an increasingly diverse and ever more interconnected world.

Cultivating belonging

We are committed to fostering a workplace where everyone—regardless of how they look, think, pray or love—has equal access to opportunities and feels like they belong.
