LBRE Black Advisory Committee
Welcome to the Stanford LBRE Black Advisory Committee!
The Stanford LBRE Black Advisory Committee (“BAC”) is comprised of committed employees of the Land Buildings and Real Estate Department at Stanford University. Given the present climate of race relations in America, the BAC felt that it was vital to become better advocates of a culture that respects and engages with people of all identities, and provides broad access to the opportunities and benefits of Stanford to everyone.
This site will provide useful information about the BAC's mission, vision, values, and resources to support LBRE's goal for creating a culture that respects and engages with people of all identities, and provides broad access to the opportunities and benefits of Stanford to everyone.
