Graduate Students

The Stanford Alumni Association (SAA) was thrilled to host the New Grad Student Orientation Welcome on Sunday, September 17, 2023 from 3:00 –5:00 p.m. It was the perfect opportunity to meet other students, enjoy plentiful snacks, and lay the foundation for your year ahead.  We also offered a demo about how to connect with the broader Stanford Alumni community using the Alumni Directory and Stanford Alumni Groups. Read further down for those resources. Later in the week, we met students at GOALIE (Graduate Orientation And Lunch Information Event) on Friday, September 22, 2023. We hope you've been enjoying your complimentary Nerd Nation swag bags.

Keeping your grad family close is important, and SAA is here to help. In partnership with the Graduate Life Office, SAA supports graduate community-building efforts across campus.

Join your classmates for an evening under the stars as you sample delectable food and beverages on Wednesday, June 12, 2024. This complimentary event is open to graduating grad students who are eligible to participate in June Commencement.
