Stanford in Government (SIG)
Create a culture of civic and political engagement by offering opportunities for students to engage with and pursue policy as public service
Stanford in Government (SIG) is the university’s oldest and largest nonpartisan public service and policy organization. SIG creates a culture of civic and political engagement on the Stanford campus by offering opportunities for Stanford students to engage with and pursue policy as public service. SIG believes that direct public service plays an important role in communities, but that institutional reform fundamentally changes structures and systems for lasting public benefit. To inspire students to help enact institutional reform, SIG funds more than 60 fellowships for students each year at policy-related organizations, connects students with opportunities to hear and learn from policymakers, and coordinates a variety of civic engagement education initiatives.
