Stanford Exposure to Research and Graduate Education was started by the Black Engineering Graduate Student Association at Stanford and is dedicated to enhancing Stanford’s demographic representation within the School of Engineering (SoE) by recruiting prospective graduate students who have the potential to contribute to the diversity of our academic fields and departments. The Management Science and Engineering department within SoE is excited to host its own SERGE program, with information that is specific to MS&E!
We are thrilled to invite you to the 2021 Stanford MS&E SERGE! Throughout the day, you will:
Hear about the Stanford MS&E M.S. and Ph.D Programs from faculty and students.
Speak with faculty and students in small groups and ask them questions.
Learn about our admissions process and funding opportunities.
Virtually tour Stanford via student-led videos taking you through the Engineering Quad, Student Workspaces, Graduate Housing, and more!
We're excited for the program and hope it is interesting, informative, and enjoyable for all of you!

This program was possible thanks to the hard work of the Black Engineering Graduate Student Associations (BEGSA). The original BEGSA SERGE program paved the way for MS&E to host an event that is specific to our department. We are grateful for the leadership, dedication, and commitment that so many students have and continue to show in their efforts to make Stanford more diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
