Stanford 10

Skip past sidebar to page content

Undergrads who were on campus in the 2010s form a pretty unique group, and Stanford 10 is a project designed by alumni co-creators and SAA to better understand your alumni experience and how you want to relate to Stanford.

In May 2021, the Stanford 10 project kicked off a community survey to learn more about your alumni experience. Thanks to all who weighed in (over 2,500 of you!)—your responses covered a wide range of topics, experiences and opinions of Stanford. Curious what your classmates had to say? View the survey results.

Guided by these findings, many of you submitted ideas for fostering connections, raising awareness of alumni resources and programming, and facilitating input on university decisions you care about through our open call. We’re currently reviewing this input and workshopping ideas with the co-creators and other alumni who raised their hands to offer help. 

How Does Stanford 10 Work?

The Stanford 10 community survey wasn’t the typical one-and-done survey that you send off into the great mysterious nothingness, never to be mentioned again. While the survey was one step in the Stanford 10 project, it’s part of a robust plan of action that includes...

  • Selection of 11 alumni project co-creators ✔

  • In-depth alumni interviews ✔

  • Community survey ✔

  • Open call for ideas ✔

  • Pilot projects and updates to existing alumni programs (we’re here!)

  • Long-term efforts

What’s Done

Selection of Alumni Co-Creators

Our first step was to team up with 11 alumni volunteers. These project co-creators conducted the majority of the alumni interviews and have been giving us feedback and vetting every phase of the project plan.

Alumni Interviews

The alumni co-creators conducted in-depth interviews with over 35 of your fellow 10-year alums. This process reframed and strengthened our understanding of the alumni-Stanford relationship.

Community Survey

Designed in collaboration with alumni co-creators, the survey ran April 26–May 17, 2021 and had over 2,500 alumni participants. View the survey results and find out what your classmates had to say.

Open Call

Between May 23–June 13, 2022, 283 alumni submitted 640 ideas for how we might work together to create alumni experiences and resources that are right for you.

What's Next

Prototypes

The team of alumni volunteers will be working with SAA to prototype a few ideas. These ideas will stem directly from the feedback we receive through the Stanford 10 open call.

Thank You to Our Alumni Co-Creators!
