Mission and Values

Main content start

QSR is dedicated to making Stanford a place where people of all genders and sexualities can flourish. In our work we aim to uplift those most in need, and to cultivate times and spaces where students can thrive.  We recognize the complexities of what makes us who we are, and we celebrate both our commonalities and our differences.

At the heart of QSR’s mission is a commitment to putting student experiences at the forefront. We have a commitment to meeting you wherever you are, and to working in an ongoing way to ensure that our offerings are inclusive, creative and impactful.

QSR values fluidity and flexibility in our work. We’re constantly evolving our methods, styles, and content to align with the changing needs and priorities of our student communities, and we aim always to push the boundaries of what's expected or possible.

We recognize the varied aspirations of our students, and see our role as actively supporting them in imagining and creating their futures. QSR is committed to nourishing individual and collective growth, fostering leadership, and empowering students to make a positive impact in the world.

All current Stanford students are invited to participate in our programs, attend our events, and make use of our spaces and resources.
