Welcome to Stanford! Kick off your new life as an undergrad with these frosh-specific offers that will help you maximize the years ahead.

Frosh Send-Offs

Frosh Send-Offs

Did you have a blast meeting fellow incoming frosh, current students and alumni at your own Frosh Send-Off? Help welcome the next incoming class in your area! Keep an eye out for an email invitation (coming this spring) to volunteer at a Class of ’24 Frosh Send-Off next summer.

Show your class pride! Each year, the Stanford Alumni Association creates a custom tee for incoming frosh that is unique to their class. Pick one up during New Student Orientation.

Letter to Your Senior Self

If you could talk to your future self, what would you say? Let’s find out. Write your letter anytime during the year (or at the Frosh Winter Warm-Up on January 8, 2020, or Frosh Council spring event) and drop it off at the Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center; we’ll return it to you in the spring of your senior year at the Kickoff to Commencement event.

Junior Dinner off the Farm

During fall and winter quarter, venture off the Farm with a group of five to ten juniors for a casual, home-cooked meal whipped up by a local alum host you can select by major, interest or career. This event is free for students; keep an eye out for an email with details. Dinners will take place October 15 & 16, 2019, and February 4 & 5, 2020.

Cheers to Junior Year - Event Cancelled

Due to the evolving risk associated with the COVID-19 outbreak, the university’s senior leadership has recommended that events such as Cheers to Junior Year (scheduled for June 3) be postponed indefinitely. While we wish this change of plans wasn’t necessary, we are looking forward to cheering you on next year.
Seniors

Your final undergrad year on the Farm is here, and the Stanford Alumni Association is ready to help you celebrate with experiences that will bring you closer to your classmates and alumni family.

Wine 101 - Event Cancelled

Due to the evolving risk associated with the COVID-19 outbreak, the university’s senior leadership has recommended that events such as the Wine 101 scheduled for Wednesday, March 11 be postponed indefinitely. We regret any inconvenience this change of plans may cause.

CAs are grad students who live in grad residences and work with the Graduate Life Office to foster community.

Grad Commencement Celebration - Event Cancelled

Due to the evolving risk associated with the COVID-19 outbreak, the university’s senior leadership has recommended that events such as the Grad Student Commencement Celebration (scheduled for June 10) be postponed indefinitely.
