Discover Stanford Summer Updates

The Discover Stanford program will operate under its summer season format from June 10 through August 16, 2013. The program will provide a one-hour information session at 9:45am and 2:00pm Monday through Friday with occasional Saturday mid-day sessions. Visitors will then have the option to join a campus walking tour at 11:00am or 3:15pm. Whereas the information sessions require advance registration, reservations are not required for the campus walking tours. Visitors can also take a self-guided tour of campus at anytime by downloading the official Visit Stanford App or Self-Guided Podcast Tour.

Admission Information Session

The first portion of the Discover Stanford program is a one-hour information session conducted by a representative from the Office of Undergraduate Admission. The representative will discuss characteristics that make Stanford distinctive, as well as Stanford’s admission process and commitment to financial aid. (Please note that occasionally the Information Session will follow the Campus Walking Tour.)

Further information about applying to Stanford is available at the Stanford Undergraduate Admission website.

Campus Walking Tour

This one-hour walking tour is led by a current student and provides an overview of the undergraduate experience, focusing on academic programs, residential life*, and extra-curricular activities.

* Please note that for privacy and security reasons, this tour does not enter student rooms.
