Defining Community Together

What does community mean to you? What does it mean to belong?

The Community Centers at Stanford help students find answers to these questions, while also improving mental health and helping students to build connections with classmates. The eight centers are an important part of the social fabric of the Farm, and coordinate a wide variety of popular events and programming.

In “Defining Community Together”, a virtual discussion with Samuel Santos, associate vice provost of inclusion, community, and integrative learning, Alma Medina, '92, JD '95, and Colin Hampson, '91, MA '90, JD '94, learn more about Stanford’s community centers and how they support students and inspire them to become engaged alumni.

Mind Over Major with COLLEGE

Stanford’s new Civic, Liberal, and Global Education (COLLEGE) requirement challenges all students—from engineering to the arts—to step outside their fields of interest, learn from each other, and engage in respectful dialogue about key issues facing the world today.

In “Mind over Major with COLLEGE,” a special virtual discussion with Professor Dan Edelstein and Claire Luo, ’25, learn more about these new core courses and how they are preparing students to become engaged citizens and lead lives of purpose.
