GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR VOLUNTEERS OF COMMUNITY COMMITTEE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS (CCIS)
Bechtel International Center, Stanford University

Increasing globalization, greater connectedness, and ease of movement mark our contemporary world. Knowledge and awareness of other peoples, countries, cultures and beliefs are of utmost importance.

We guide our decisions by the goal of supporting international students, post-docs, scholars and their families at Stanford University and promoting interaction between the local community and the Stanford international population.
