SSTS was launched in 2003 by Dr. Shirley J. Everett, Senior Associate Vice Provost for R&DE & Senior Adviser to the Provost on Equity and Inclusion. “Lifelong learning is an important part of R&DE culture. One of the ways we show our staff how important they are to our organization is by investing in their professional and personal development,” said Everett. R&DE's Stepping Stones to Success program (SSTS) is a concierge workplace education program. It is open to all Stanford University staff including Stanford Health Care, DAPER, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, School of Medicine, SLAC and LBRE employees.
Created by Dr. Shirley J. Everett, Senior Associate Vice Provost for R&DE & Senior Adviser to the Provost on Equity and Inclusion, The Residential & Dining Enterprises (R&DE) Women’s Leadership Development Program (WLDP) at Stanford University is dedicated to advancing women leaders through personal and professional development.

Demographics
Representation matters. It’s that simple. In R&DE, while our people are much more than numbers, we understand the importance of sharing our diversity data publicly. Transparency is critical to enforcing accountability in the fight to advance racial and gender equity with the urgency it deserves.
