Families and Partners
Your families, significant others, and kids are an integral part of the Stanford GSB community, and they are encouraged to participate in many school- and student-sponsored activities.
We are here to support you and your family by connecting you to various campus resources (e.g.GSB Parents Committee), facilitating access to support services, and planning and organizing events for all members of the family. The Stanford Graduate Life Office has compiled information about resources available for students with children.
Student Support
This is your starting point for information, support, and connections to resources throughout Stanford. The Student Support team is an integral part of our academic and personal advising strategy and provides guidance and advice with the aim of helping students thrive at the GSB. It serves as a bridge between students navigating personal and academic challenges and the relevant faculty and staff who are part of their experience.
The team collaborates with students to proactively shape their time at the GSB and as they navigate any challenges they may face along the way. The team helps students identify resources, discuss options, understand precedents, and explore strategies to succeed both inside the classroom and beyond. If you anticipate having complex support needs, please reach out to MBA Admissions to explore if connecting early to Student Support would be helpful.
