Reflecting on the 10 years since we moved our Center to Stanford, I can only express my gratitude to the students, faculty, and staff that have enabled the Center to flourish and expand the scope of its educational and research mission.
The Center is an amazing place where students can interact directly with renowned human rights scholars and practitioners and engage in a variety of human rights projects across the globe. We will continue to focus on providing students with opportunities and tools to improve human rights conditions in their communities and beyond.
The Center for Human Rights and International Justice equips a new generation of leaders to protect and promote human rights and dignity for all, in the classroom and in the world.
