Commencement 2016

Senior Dinner on the Quad

Dinner on the Quad This is THE night! Classmates dress to impress for a once-in-a-lifetime dinner under the stars in Stanford's historic Main Quad. After clinking glasses over a three course dinner (take that, dorm food!), hit the dance floor, photobomb your friends in the photo booth, or finally make a move on that secret crush. With MemChu as the backdrop and your whole class in attendance, this is one night you won't want to miss.

Class Toast

Let the Commencement festivities begin! Pop the champagne, double-dip in the chocolate fountain, and enjoy a metric ton of desserts while swapping memories with your entire class. Be sure to pick up the awesome freebies from your friends at the Stanford Alumni Association: your class pin, t-shirt and a commemorative champagne flute. This is your only chance to drop a special Stanford something into your class time capsule before it is sealed forever and laid to rest beneath your Class Plaque in the Quad.

Class Plaque and Time Capsule

The Class Plaque and time capsule are Stanford traditions that go back to 1892 and allow graduating seniors to forge a connection with both classes that came before and those that will soon follow. The '16 Class Plaque will be placed in the Quad on top of the time capsule this spring. Be sure to visit your Class Plaque on the wall of our Alumni Center before Commencement rolls around!
