Equity and Inclusion at Stanford Engineering

The School of Engineering’s mission is to conduct groundbreaking research that addresses a broad range of pressing world problems and to educate future engineers to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Central to this mission is a diverse group of faculty, students, and staff, and ensuring that our environment is nurturing, welcoming, and inclusive of individuals from a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and beliefs. We are committed to increasing diversity in engineering, including by supporting individuals historically underrepresented in the field. Learn more.
