The American Indian Staff Forum (AISF) is a fellowship of American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians who work at, or are affiliated with, Stanford University, Stanford Medical Center, and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The goal of AISF is to promote social, cultural, and educational opportunities for our members, and to provide opportunities for the non-Native community at Stanford to learn more about our rich heritage and diverse cultures. Forum membership is automatically extended to all Native American employees at Stanford.
