VPUE Strategic Initiatives
Academic-Residential Co-Curriculum (ARC)
VPUE’s Academic-Residential Co-Curriculum (ARC) program aims to connect undergraduates with faculty and academic staff. ARC seeks to enhance undergraduates’ opportunities to form lasting professional relationships and networks, and to develop lifelong mentors.
ARC supports co-curricular and community building opportunities to enhance undergraduates' ability to form lasting professional connections with academic mentors who are invested in students' success.

AI Meets Education at Stanford
AI Meets Education at Stanford (AImES) is a VPUE effort to catalyze and support critical engagement with generative AI in Stanford teaching and learning contexts, coordinated by the Center for Teaching and Learning.
AImES fosters discussions among faculty, instructors, and students, and lower barriers for Stanford educators to engage productively and teach effectively in a world where generative AI appears to be here to stay. This effort is focused specifically on teaching and learning at Stanford University, complementing projects that advance AI research and policy in the broader world by bringing insights home to Stanford teaching and learning.

Leveling the Learning Landscape
Leveling the Learning Landscape (L3) is a multi-year strategic effort to equalize educational access and opportunity for all Stanford undergraduates through curricular innovation and institutional reform. L3 aims to equip students with the tools they need to succeed and help them develop a sense of belonging as they launch their Stanford education. Further, through grants and professional development, L3 supports faculty ingenuity to invent and refine curricula and teaching strategies to support Stanford students whatever their learning style, background, or academic preparation.
