"Our mission is to promote a unified community of inclusion, respect, and excellence through the development of a student body, staff, and faculty that reflect the diversity of our national communities and international partners."

Professor Jerry M. Harris
School of Earth Sciences Associate Dean for Multicultural Affairs.

 

The Office of Multicultural Affairs coordinates diversity programs within the School of Earth Sciences (SES), facilitates partnerships between SES and private industry, and forms community alliances with Stanford and other universities.

The faculty and staff of Earth Sciences recognize and value the unique perspectives and experiences derived from differences in race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, work experience, socio-economic class, and national origin, as well as other diverse backgrounds.

Our goals are to recruit and support a diverse faculty and staff, and to build collaborative national and international partnerships that aim to further research and education in the Earth sciences.
