The world today faces both enormous problems and extraordinary opportunities. Globalization, with all of its advantages, is exacting a heavy price as the problems of one society quickly become the problems of every society. Increasing demands on declining resources, threats to peace in nearly every corner of the globe, and dangerous diseases traveling rapidly across borders jeopardize our lives, our security, and our sense of wellbeing.
Yet if there are organizations anywhere poised to solve these immense challenges, surely they are our great universities, whose search for knowledge and commitment to producing each successive generation of leaders defines their very existence. Nowhere, we believe, is there a university so singularly qualified to seize this opportunity to make a lasting difference in the world than Stanford.
We invite you to learn more about he programs and priorities for which we seek critical new resources, as well as ways in which every member of the Stanford family can take part in supporting Stanford University Medical Center through The Stanford Challenge.
