The Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) coordinates diversity programs within the School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences (SES), facilitates partnerships between SES and private industry, and forms community alliances with Stanford and other universities. In recognition of the value of the unique perspectives and experiences derived from differences in race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, work experience, socio-economic class, national origin, and other diverse backgrounds, we strive to recruit and support a diverse faculty, staff, and student body, and to build collaborative national and international partnerships that aim to further research and education in the Earth sciences.
