Commencement

It was a final fountain hop with your class on Friday, May 1, 1:00-4:00 p.m. at Terman Fountain. SAA was there to hand out your Class of '26 champagne flute and return your Letter to Your Senior Self, all while learning about SAA resources you can use now. Stanford Pass account set-ups were required for this gift. Any remaining letters are available for pick-up at the Alumni Center front desk, during business hours, Monday through Friday until mid-June.

Enjoy dancing under the stars, dining at delicious food stations, taking part in your class time capsule, playing games, and grabbing photo opps with MemChu as the backdrop and your entire class in attendance. This is one night you won't want to miss. The Class of 2026 will experience this all on Thursday, June 11, 2026. Please note: undergraduate students are only allowed to attend this experience once.

Stanford Alumni Association joined the weekend celebration with a complimentary snack and water giveaway in front of the Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center. Graduates, family, and friends swung by to pick up snacks on the way to their individual department ceremonies!

During spring quarter, we recognize students who have made remarkable contributions to the class community when we announce the recipients of the J.E. Wallace Sterling Award and the Award of Excellence.
