Staff

Reset 2022 is a hybrid, internal event by invitation, for DEI practitioners who work at Stanford; staff who are actively engaged in work that supports DEIB for Stanford staff, faculty, students and/or postdocs (e.g., your job, serving on committees, volunteering for organizations or initiatives).

Reset 2022 is really an “unconference,” not organized around keynotes, but rather a set of experiential activities to leverage our collective knowledge and help us prepare for the upcoming year. It’s a reset, a time for us to gather as practitioners and get to know each other better. It is a day-long opportunity for us to convene, network, collaborate, and share the DEIB work we are engaged in around campus.

We aim to provide a dedicated space for supportive connection, rejuvenation, and community-building within the Stanford DEIB community.
