| DIVERSITY |
Since
the University’s
founding in 1891, Stanford has been committed to an inclusive
approach to higher education. As a major research university
we recognize the value of diversity and our commitment
to it is reflected in our student body, faculty and staff,
academic departments and programs.
We are a
diverse community with a student body of approximately
15,000 (6,800 undergraduates and 8,200 graduate students)
from all parts of the country and world representing
all racial/ethnic and religious groups and including
men, women, and members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgendered communities. We have numerous student
organizations covering a range of interests: academic,
international, ethnic, social and recreational. We
also have over 40 recognized religious organizations
on campus.
Stanford
University is also a founding member of the California
Universities Consortium. |
