Camarillo appointed to new position focusing on faculty diversity
Albert Camarillo
President John Hennessy announced last week that Albert Camarillo, a professor of American history and the Miriam and Peter Haas Centennial Professor in Public Service, has accepted the new position of special assistant to the provost for faculty diversity.
In his annual address to the Academic Council on Thursday, Hennessy said Camarillo will help ensure that Stanford is "vigilant" as it pursues its goal of enhancing faculty diversity.
Camarillo joined the Stanford faculty in 1975 after earning his doctorate from the University of California-Los Angeles. He is widely regarded as one of the founding scholars of the field of Mexican American history and Chicano studies. He has received the university's three highest teaching and service prizes: the Lloyd W. Dinkelspiel Award, the Walter J. Gores Award and the Bing Teaching Fellowship Award.
