Who We Are

NOTICE: If you were redirected here via Vaden's email for more information regarding temporary relocation during the entry testing period for incoming roommates, please email us at graduatelifeoffice@stanford.edu.

The Graduate Life Office (GLO) is a division of the Office of the Vice Provost for Student Affairs. We serve the entire graduate student population at Stanford and their families. GLO deans are a source of comprehensive, impartial guidance and information related to all aspects of your life as a graduate student.
 
We’re here to answer questions, resolve problems and provide advice and, if we can't answer your question, we'll find out who can.

If you are in a crisis or need immediate assistance in a non-medical emergency, the GLO deans are accessible 24/7 through text or call. You will be contacted directly by return call.

PREFERRED METHOD: Text the GLO pager at 25085@pageme.stanford.edu. Include your name and reason for paging in the message. 

Call the GLO pager at 650-723-7288. You will reach a Stanford operator. Provide pager ID #25085 and indicate that you need to reach the graduate dean-on-call.
