Case study: Stanford University: A decade of Domain of One's Own

Stanford University has a long, solid track record in technological innovation, so it won’t come as a surprise that Stanford’s academic community was one of the first to adopt the pioneering Domain of One’s Own program back in 2015.  This case study provides a unique insight into what this innovative institution has achieved by establishing their Domain of One’s Own, how the program has developed and how it will continue to serve the needs of students and staff in future.
