Associated Campus Programs
In recent years, public service has become a true hallmark of a Stanford education. The role of the Peter E. Haas Director, a half-time faculty position reporting to the Provost, and other Haas staff has been to convene and often to broker relationships among campus units and individuals that might benefit from collaboration. Efforts involving the President’s office, Office of Public Affairs, Office of Development, Stanford Alumni Association, academic deans, and the Vice Provosts for Undergraduate Education and Student Affairs have connected specific faculty and departments with the center, community organizations, donors, and alumni.
The following associated programs are housed at the Haas Center for Public Service.
