Stanford has always been a wellspring of new ideas and innovative solutions, where curious people come to make a difference. But the scale and urgency of challenges facing us today require that Stanford amplify what has made us successful in the past and define new ways of making a difference. We are expanding avenues of discovery across all fields while creating new pathways for applying knowledge where it is needed in the world. At the same time we are ensuring that new ideas are grounded in ethics and solutions benefit from diverse perspectives.
Stanford's vision includes four themes inspired by the ideas of our community. Woven throughout those themes is a commitment to ensuring equity and inclusion in our research and on our campus, embedding ethics across research and education and engaging with partners beyond our walls to learn from and give back to our local and global community.

How Is The School Involved With The Local Native Community?
Office of the President and the NACC are closely connected with the Muwekma Ohlone and Amah Mutsun tribal band, they work with tribal leaders for land acknowledgements and to create content and programming to raise awareness; they also named our campus theme housing. There is also a student group who works with the Muwekma - Justice for Muwekma in order to support their federal recognition.
