Welcome to Stanford

We’re just a walk, a short ride, or a click away. Stanford lives its founding values when we connect with our communities next door – and across the globe.

A deep sense of place

From the beginning, Stanford, along with the neighboring communities it joined, has grown and developed from rural roots.

How we’re connected

Planet Earth held in gloved hands — Earth Day all month long! Set your calendar for multiple events: Learn about the used electric car market, roll up your sleeves and pull weeds in the Arizona Cactus Garden, learn about plant-based eating at screening. It’s all happening in April from the Farm to Stanford Research Park and beyond. Details at the Earth Month page from Sustainable Stanford.
