Curriculum

Gifts to the Business School Fund support curricular innovations, including those that enhance the learning experience for today's students as well as those that will take effect when the School launches a comprehensive new curriculum in 2007. Some examples include:

• Opportunities for multidisciplinary and team-based collaboration. For example, as part of expanded group learning offerings, the Bass Seminar Biodesign Innovation brings together students from the GSB, School of Engineering, and School of Medicine to develop new medical device prototypes.
• Opportunity for an international experience, to be required of every student. For example, the Stanford Tsinghua Exchange Program provides an immersive experience, combining academic, business, and social activities with a local Chinese partner.
• Opportunities for leadership growth. For example, students in the Leadership Development Program (LDP) teamed up with a fellow from the Reuters Digital Vision Program at Stanford to develop a business to sell fashionable, fair trade clothing made by women in developing countries.

Consider:

• 75 gifts of $1,000 = $75,000: Will help fund a global experience such as Stanford-Tsinghua Exchange Program for dozens of students
• 30 gifts of $5,000 = $150,000: Will help fund high-touch classes with 20 or fewer students

Your gift will have a profound impact on the academic experience.
