Welcome to Stanford!

We are the Graduate Life Office (GLO) and we serve the entire graduate student population at Stanford and their families. Our specialty is helping graduate students, and we are here to help you navigate the issues, challenges and complications that are an inevitable part of life. GLO deans are a source of comprehensive, impartial guidance and information related to all aspects of your life as a graduate student.
