Stanford is a place of discovery, creativity and innovation located in the San Francisco Bay Area on the ancestral land of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. Dedicated to our founding mission—benefitting society through research and education—we are working toward a sustainable future, accelerating the impact of research with external partners, catalyzing discoveries about ourselves and our world, and educating students as global citizens. Our main campus, which welcomed its first class in 1891, is now home to 650+ student organizations, 36 varsity athletic teams, 20 libraries, 21 living Nobel laureates, 18 interdisciplinary research institutes, seven schools, and a vibrant arts scene. More than 9,000 graduate students and 7,000 undergraduates pursue studies at Stanford each year. Our financial aid program, one of the most generous in the nation, makes it possible for any admitted undergraduate to attend without taking on student debt.

Productivity. Leadership. Happiness. We train business leaders to be emotionally intelligent through mindfulness practices—all of which are backed by science. We do this through our Search Inside Yourself program, which was developed at Google. We're excited to offer this course to leading businesses and individuals worldwide and have launched in China in 2020.

We help people to peacefully and effectively resolve conflicts in personal, organizational, and political settings. As a nonprofit organization with projects around the world, we were founded by international peacemaker, Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D., author of the best selling book, "Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life." Certified Trainers are not employees of CNVC but independent professionals who sign an annual agreement. They help to sustain the global impact of the CNVC through the work they do, the donations they make to the CNVC, and the support and accountability they maintain for each other at the highest standards established by Marshall Rosenberg.
