2020 Graduate Scholars-in-Residence Reunion Symposium
Stanford University • El Centro Chicano y Latino • Graduate Scholars-in-Residence Program
Celebrating 20 Years of Excellence (1998-2018)
Reunion Symposium
January 22-24, 2020
The Graduate Scholars in Residence Program, established in 1998, is a program aimed at fostering a vibrant intellectual community among Chicano/a/x-Latino/a/x students at Stanford. It provides graduate students from various disciplines the opportunity to work collaboratively with each other and with undergraduates as part of a supportive community within El Centro Chicano y Latino.
Since its beginnings, the Graduate Scholars-in-Residence Program has been highly successful in the production of Latina/o/x students who earn Ph.D. degrees. This success means that Stanford University and El Centro Chicano y Latino are leaders in cultivating the next generation of Latina/o/x faculty and leaders in higher education across the nation.
To celebrate both the success and longevity of the program, we are convening an inaugural Graduate Scholars-in-Residence Program Reunion Symposium over the course of three days (January 22-24, 2020). The Symposium will commemorate 20 years (1998-2018) of this innovative and visionary program on the Stanford campus and will create new opportunities for reuniting and reconnecting both past and present Graduate Scholars-in-Residence at El Centro Chicano y Latino. This program is brought to you in part through funding from Stanford Associates.
