Student Communities[edit]

The diversity of student backgrounds at Stanford has led many to form student groups and to lobby the university for support. The university has provided space and sometimes staff to support these various communities.

The Bechtel International Center acts as a support center for international students groups as well as handling paperwork for visas and other necessary forms for international students, visiting scholars and professors, new university hires and their spouses and minor children. It also coordinates the application process for Rhodes and other international scholarships. http://www.stanford.edu/dept/icenter/

The Black Community Services Center dates back to the Black Student Volunteer Center founded in the aftermath of Martin Luther King's assassination in 1968. In 1972 it became the Black Activities Center (BAC) and in 1979 took its present name; it now has two full-time professional staff members and a part-time administrator. The center supports over 35 Black Voluntary Student Organizations (BVSOs) and has its own building, Black House. https://studentaffairs.stanford.edu/bcsc/about/history

Asian and Asian American students and their groups have been part of the university from the beginning though as in most of the United States discrimination was a fact of life; most notably the sending to detainment camps of students, staff, and professors of Japanese ancestry no matter how remote in 1942. In 1972 the Asian American Students Alliance asked for and received space in the Old Fire Truck House and in 1987 received a half-time director (which became a full-time position in 1989). The Asian American Activities Center (A3C) is now housed in the Old Union Clubhouse and helps support dozens of associated student groups for Asian or Asian American students ranging from the

El Centro Chicano is the community center for the Chicano and Latino communities and was established in late 1978 in the basement of the Nitery. It received a full-time director in 1989 after much lobbying. http://studentaffairs.stanford.edu/elcentro/history/center
