Stanford Center for Racial Justice Students Build Community, Transform Society
As the Stanford Center for Racial Justice marks its 5-year anniversary in 2025, we reflect upon the central role of students in our work. Coming from departments across the university, law students, graduate, and undergraduate students have convened at the Center to support a multitude of projects and initiatives. Whether as interns, fellows, or practicum students, they have all found a unique community at the Center while engaging in rigorous research to advance racial justice. We are thrilled to celebrate their impact in a video featuring their work, insights, and vision for the future.
