The Markaz: Resource Center for Engagement with the Cultures and Peoples of the Muslin
World was established in 2013, and is located in the Nitery Building of Old Union. The
center serves the community that identifies or has an interest in Islamic culture, the
Muslim world, global Muslim communities and non-Muslim minorities within the Muslim world.
The Markaz is affiliated with numerous Volunteer Student Organizations, including the Arab
Students Associuation at Stanford, Stanford Students for Justice in Palestine, the Muslim
Student Union, and others.
The Markaz is part of the lineage of Stanford's Muslim community, which dates back to 1950
with the Islamic Society at Stanford University (ISSU). The Muslim community at Stanford
grew during the 1990's, when a wave of second-generation students entered the university and
expanded the focus of the ISSU. As a result, numerous new organizations emerged, including
the Muslim Student Awareness Network, the Turkish Student Association, and Pakastanis at
Stanford, among many others. Through the 1990's to present, the number of organizations and
the Muslim community on campus have continued to grow.
