University policy requires all conferences to secure academic sponsorship in order to host their program on campus. Program organizers are required to have a Sponsorship Form (available from Stanford Conference Services) signed by a Stanford dean or department chair, verifying that the program fully supports the University’s mission of teaching, research, and/or public service. Stanford places great emphasis on external programs that invite Stanford faculty as guest speakers, and/or that afford employment and/or participation opportunities for Stanford students.
