A new office launched in November 2021 and led by Dr. Ayodele Thomas, Associate Vice President for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging, the DEIB team works with leaders and community members across the university to align efforts, lead and support staff initiatives, and embed DEIB in policies and programs for staff while fostering a culture of belonging and inclusive excellence. The DEIB office is critical to realizing Stanford’s vision to cultivate a diverse and inclusive community and will continue to expand soon.
