Dear colleagues, friends, students, and supporters of the Stanford Center on Adolescence,

After 27 exciting and highly productive years, we are announcing the conclusion of the Center's active operations at the end of the 2024/2025 academic year. Over the past decades, our Center has been a vibrant hub of intellectual activity, research, conferences, teaching, and collaboration, made possible by the energy and dedication of our staff, students, research assistants, visiting scholars, faculty associates, and all those who engaged with and supported our work, including numerous local and national funding agencies and generous individual donors.

While our doors will be closing, the Center’s impact will endure. Our website will remain active, hosting our past publications and those of our past students and scholars for the foreseeable future.

We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who has played a role in the Center's success, enriching our mission and contributing to our Center’s vitality throughout its 27-year run.

With heartfelt thanks,

William Damon, Director

Lisa Staton, Center administrative manager
