Commencement at Stanford University is more than a milestone—it is the embodiment of the Cardinal spirit. It’s the culmination of bike rides through the Quad, chants beneath Hoover Tower, late nights in Green Library, and cheering on the Cardinal at Stanford Stadium. As you walk across the stage in your cap and gown, the sun over Stanford Stadium shining and the roar of your family and classmates filling the air, it is not just about receiving a degree—it is about stepping fully into the Cardinal red legacy that unites generations of Stanford graduates.
