More About Student Life on Campus

Student life on campus is expansive with a number of events and programs dedicated to engaging the Stanford community throughout the year. These include programs such as Cardinal Nights which provides non-alcoholic centered activities on the weekends in addition to events that student organizations plan on such as the Stanford African Students Association’s annual cultural show or that community centers lead, such as Queer Student Resources’ weekly program called Trans&. Dorm leaders and class cabinets (for undergraduates) and CAs and the GSC Programming Board (for graduate students) also organize activities including intramural sports events, social events, and of course, fountain hopping!
