Opportunities

Within the residential experience, students will find a number of opportunities to get involved and contribute to their community in dynamic ways, such as: pre-assigning, serving as a student intern or residential student leader, and more. Some of Stanford’s residences provide credit-bearing enrichment opportunities for pre-assignees and residents through residentially-based courses, and some are even open to the whole campus!

Residential Student Leadership

Residential Education manages a robust student leader selection process to ensure both students and communities find a successful residential student leader team. We need committed undergraduate students passionate about constructing the livelihoods of our students within environments that are dynamic, socially engaging, and welcoming to a variety of identities. This section of our website has been set-up to help guide you through the selection process as well as share relevant information and dates to help you through the process.
