Some Tips to Make the Ceremony More Enjoyable…
'''• Dress for the heat; light clothing is advisable.
• Hats, visors, and sun block are recommended.
• Comfortable, close-toed shoes are recommended for walking across campus.
• We recommend that guests eat a hearty breakfast and pack a snack. Light refreshments will be available for purchase at the Stanford Stadium. Lunch will be served before the EE Diploma Ceremony from 12:00p.m-1:30pm (vegetarian options will be available). Cupcakes and punch will be served at the reception following the EE ceremony at 2:30p.m.
• Water will be available at both ceremony locations. You may wish to bring your own water as well.
• We regret that umbrellas will not be permitted at either ceremony, as they would block the view of other guests.
Smoking Guidelines: Smoking is prohibited in outdoor locations where arranged seating (fixed or temporary) is provided for programs or events. Outdoor locations include, but are not limited to, the Main Quadrangle, Stanford Stadium, amphitheaters, and courtyards.
