Stanford Events

Stanford Events supports the mission and goals of Stanford University through open engagement of the campus community and the worldwide public. The department has three divisions: Public Events, Stanford Lively Arts, and the Stanford Ticket Office.

Public Events oversees, advises, and produces University events and ceremonies as designated by the President's office such as: Commencement, Baccalaureate, the University President's inaugurations, New Student Orientation Convocation, Community Day/Founders' Celebration, and other high-profile university events. This division also serves in an advisory capacity to the schools, departments, and student groups on campus, and oversees University policy and procedure regarding campus events. The Public Events office has final approval authority of Stanford facility and open space use for non-academic public events on campus.
