PAE-9: Support Programs for Future Faculty

STANFORD DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI SCHOLARS PROGRAM (DAS) Established in 2006, DAS is an institutional response to the scarce presence of diverse racial/ethnic group members within the faculty ranks of our nation’s colleges and universities, and within the Ph.D. programs that produce these faculty. The purpose of this program is to bring Stanford students from cultural groups underrepresented in academia into contact and discussion with distinguished alumni scholars from a broad range of backgrounds, disciplines and institutional types to inspire new generations of students to consider academia as a career. Last held in 2010, a new program is in planning for the 2012-2013 academic year.
