Stanford University: Accelerating Public Impact - Scholarship & Partnership Help Oakland Students Thrive

How do Stanford researchers collaborate with partners to solve some of our most pressing problems? This program will show how research, when designed with school partners, helped children in the juvenile justice system return to school and thrive. Join Stanford University to hear how Stanford Impact Labs is supporting a team of scholars and Bay Area school partners to combine research insights and first-hand experience. Stanford psychologist Greg Walton and Hattie Tate, administrator at Oakland Unite's Juvenile Justice Center, will explain how a simple intervention helped create a powerful sense of social belonging—a connection that is showing it can keep children in school and out of the juvenile justice system.

The conversation will be led by Stanford Impact Labs' Faculty Director Jeremy Weinstein and close with comments from Nicole Taylor '90, MA '91, president and CEO of Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Discover Stanford for You is co-sponsored by Stanford Continuing Studies and Stanford Office of External Relations.
