Humanities in Color

Humanities in Color (HIC) is a student organization and community dedicated to supporting the personal wellbeing and professional development of humanities graduate students from historically marginalized backgrounds at Stanford. Anyone who is interested in participating is warmly welcome. HIC hosts multiple social and professional events each quarter, on topics ranging from navigating the job market to race and disability in academia.
