About

Our mission

Stanford Women in National Security is a community for women interested in topics related to intelligence, security, and foreign policy. We run speaker series and programs that provide direct access to practitioners, mentors, and an ambitious community.

Our story

Stanford Women in National Security was founded in 2024 to create community in a field where few women are represented.

Our values

What we stand for

  • Open discussion

    We treat international security topics as ones to be constantly interrogated. Weekly conversations welcome all perspectives.

  • Access

    We bring in experts from academia, policy, and technology to address the world's most pressing topics: including nuclear, space, climate, trade, defense, and more.

  • Built by women, open to everyone

    The organization exists because women have been underrepresented in this field. General meetings and briefings are open to any Stanford student interested in discussion and community.
