New Graduate Student Orientation (NGSO)

NGSO 2022: Coming Soon

Welcome to the Farm! The Graduate Life Office (GLO) coordinates New Graduate Student Orientation (NGSO) to welcome and orient new graduate students to Stanford. Our goal is to connect new graduate students with useful campus resources that will assist them during their time as graduate students.

This year NGSO will take place 9/18/2022 - 9/25/2022.  GOALIE is set to happen on on Friday 9/23/2022.  Dates are subject to change.

Please check back for updates.
