2. Creating a More Diverse and Inclusive Community of Graduate Students

In October 2020, the provost announced the rollout of the IDEAL Graduate Recruitment Faculty & Administrator Portal. This portal is designed to empower degree programs' local ownership and leadership in advancing the IDEAL charge to improve diversity broadly-defined in graduate education. It provides:

3. Conveying Stanford's Distinctive University Resources and Opportunities

Offer letters and other communications with admits provide key opportunities to persuade students that the degree program and the university will support them and are a good fit for them.

To help you make the best use of these opportunities, here are some key attributes of the Stanford community that you can convey in your communications:

"One University": Graduate education in all seven schools on one campus, creating a vibrant community of diverse scholars and opportunities for collaboration and innovation

Welcoming, Excellent, and Inclusive Community

Support for Graduate Student Growth, Development, and Learning

Extensive central university resources to support graduate students' professional growth, career development, and well-being

Prestigious university-funded doctoral fellowships (e.g., SGF, EDGE, CCSRE, SIGF, DARE, ARCS, Lieberman, Zhang, and the new RAISE Doctoral Fellowship)

Here are some VPGE resources you can use for recruitment communications:

Offer letters: the IDEAL Portal includes a module with tips for constructing clear and persuasive offer letters, particularly for students from diverse backgrounds.

Why Stanford flyer: highlights our distinctive resources for advancing diversity, interdisciplinary learning, and academic innovation at Stanford, as well as resources for professional development ( view online).
