Transform your world. Change the face of government.

call to server logo Welcome to Stanford University's Call to Serve website! We hope you use this site to explore local, state, and federal government internships and careers. The impending retirement of up to 60% of government employees means an unprecedented opportunity for Stanford graduates to get good government jobs and advance rapidly. Watch for opportunities to attend career workshops and major speaker events to learn about exciting and important opportunities that await you with government in all corners of our nation and world.

The notion of public service is deeply embedded in the history of Stanford University, dating back to its Founding Grant. It is fitting, then, that so many Stanford graduates have devoted significant portions of their lives to communities and municipal, state, and federal government. The course of history in the last few years.from 9/11 to global health and environmental crises to Hurricane Katrina.underscores the increasing importance of an educated, committed citizenry. The intelligence and passion of our young people is a precious asset as we seek solutions to these monumental challenges, an asset that must no longer be constrained to our country alone. Public service must now embrace a larger landscape, a global community that becomes more tightly interrelated with each advancing year. It is in this spirit, one that speaks to our highest national ideals, that I call on our students to seek a role in charting the future of our democracy.

John Hennessy, Stanford President, 2005
