Faculty leaders (DDI) 2024-2027
The DDI is a school-wide leadership position that also functions as a bridge between the departments/program and the school. In this role, faculty will have the opportunity to learn about the best recruitment, admissions and mentorship practices within a cohort of other faculty who share their interest in making the school and our educational environment more inclusive. This leadership role provides the DDI with the tools and the platform to impact and elevate outreach and recruitment efforts within their own communities and among their peers.

Community councils
The community councils are established as a platform for advocacy and partnership-building to address and strengthen Stanford's IDEAL goals in the school community.
The Councils consist of two related entities – the Advisory and the Governance Council, each one fulfilling different functions and yet overlapping to collaboratively direct the School towards its recruitment, community engagement and student professional development goals. The overarching roles of the Councils are to (1) provide a voice to the members of our community at the grassroots; (2) act as change agents for and within the School and (3) help institutionalize practices that support and accelerate Stanford's IDEAL initiative and the school's community vision.
Governance Council members
This council implements the mission and values of our action plan and engages with the advisory council to: Track progress & metrics, allocate resources, determine awards, and uphold a respectful and inclusive behavior policy.
Advisory Council members
This council acts as an ear to the ground and has a finger on the community's pulse to: Identify inclusion needs, share resources with the broader community, suggest programming, and be a local advocate.
