Monday, April 4
5 - 6 pm: Speedfriending
Get to know your fellow admits at this admit-only (no current students, admin or faculty) event. This is a great opportunity to meet other admitted students before the info-heavy events tomorrow. "Speedfriending" is a game where you will be paired up with another admit and get 3 minutes to discuss a prompt, before getting paired up with a new partner. It's a great way to make a lot of friends fast. Hope to see you there!

Remember back in the day when you socialized by gathering in small personalized towns? Neither do we! But in these days of Zoom filled weeks we thought this would be a little more natural :) Join your fellow admitted class and current graduate students to ask the questions you're dying to know or just hang out and have fun!

We realize time zones and zoom fatigue don't make attending all events easy, so here's a fun hour a little outside usual business hours for our admits abroad and the sleepless ones here in the US. Come join us for social talks, insights about grad life at Stanford, and any lingering questions. We hope to see some of you at whatever time it is wherever you are!
