Mission

Mission
The Stanford Healthcare Club is the primary life science and health care industry-oriented student organization at Stanford. We are headquartered at the Graduate School of Business, but our membership is interdisciplinary and drawn from the breadth of Stanford's graduate schools, including MBA, MD, JD, and Ph.D./postdoctoral programs.

Our mission is to build networks that will help Stanford students explore, pursue and continue careers in businesses related to health care and the life sciences, including biotechnology & genomics, health care, pharmaceuticals, health care information technology (e-health), medical technology, venture capital, public/private equity investing, consulting, and investment banking.

Mission
Hermanas in STEM translates to “Sisters in STEM” from Spanish. Our main goal is to unite and build a community of support among Latina graduate and postdoctoral scholars in the STEM fields at Stanford. The pursuit of higher education is a challenge. However, this pursuit can be even more challenging for Latina women who not only face gender discrimination, but also discrimination associated with being under-represented minorities in STEM fields. Furthermore, Latina women are often the bedrocks of their family and community. Consequently, they often struggle to find a balance between navigating the professional world of science and remaining connected to their culture.

Mission
The mission of the Stanford University Postdoctoral Association is to enrich the Postdoctoral experience at Stanford, to enable Postdoctoral Scholars to explore opportunities, and to empower Postdoctoral Scholars to become leaders in areas of their choice.
The Council represents and advocates for the best interests of all Stanford Postdoctoral Scholars. Primary goals of the Council include the following:
1. To develop social and networking opportunities for Postdoctoral Scholars from all disciplines, in the interest of fostering a community of postdocs at Stanford.
2. To promote inclusion and representation of all postdoctoral fellows and advocate for a postdoctoral community that better reflects the diversity that is crucial for research and other progress.
3. To work with University Administration to optimize the postdoctoral experience.
4. To strive for the professional enrichment and development of Postdoctoral Scholars.
5. To ensure that postdoctoral benefits and salaries are commensurate with the NIH
salary scale and the high cost of living in the Bay Area.
6. To clearly define and communicate the Postdoctoral Scholar status at an institutional
level.
The members of the Council will act as a liaison to the postdoctoral population at large and
represent the interests of Postdoctoral Scholars to the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs and to Stanford University by representing Postdoctoral Scholars on University committees and governing bodies.

Mission
The mission of Stanford Women in Fluid Dynamics (SWiFD) is to build an interdepartmental support network for women in the field of fluid mechanics, in order to promote their intellectual and professional development. As fluid mechanicians, we are scattered among several departments and are often underrepresented in courses, seminars, and conferences. SWiFD aims to enhance Stanford’s diversity through enriching graduate and postdoctoral experiences for women in fluid mechanics. SWiFD organizes faculty seminars, small-group discussions, networking dinners, professional development workshops, and outreach and volunteer activities, and connects through an email list.

Mission
Our goal is to connect graduate students, co-terms, seniors, and postdocs who are engaged in Women’s Health. Our membership will share their experiences in the field and support project and research progress as well as professional development.

Membership Benefits
We will hold bi-weekly meetings for people interested in women’s health to share their personal experiences within the professional or academic field and to connect students and postdoctoral scholars. The regular meetings will be informal evening mixers with snacks and drinks. Our meetings will promote the industry by sparking interest and awareness among students, prompting them to engage with this emerging area during their time at Stanford and after graduation.
Besides the regular get-togethers, we will continue to invite expert speakers within Women’s Health to share their experiences, insights and help spark further interest in the topic.
