Vision and Strategic Values

Vision

Stanford University is home to the most dynamic, innovative, and collaborative IT community in Silicon Valley and across higher education. Our shared purpose is to attract and develop the top IT talent by providing an extraordinary work environment that celebrates the diversity of background, thought, and experience of our people. We deliver human-centric information and support services that power Stanford’s unparalleled learning, research, and healthcare mission.

Strategic Values

These strategic values serve as cornerstones for UIT's new direction. They were integral to the decisions made for recent organizational changes, and they will shape future decisions we make moving forward.

Be Bold

We are not just any university IT group, we are Stanford University IT.  It is, therefore, fitting and expected that we should be bold in our aspirations and actions.
