-
The Grove becomes The Toast Bar: a place to literally try new things and meet new people.
-
Studio C becomes The Pickle Jar: a place to explore emerging ethical dilemmas through improv, stand-up and sketch comedy.
-
Room 165 become The Nerd Hole: a science communication escape room where you must communicate your work/research using only similes/analogies/stories or metaphors.
You can’t escape until everyone knows what you do.

Above The Atrium becomes The Tip Line: a live public art installation designed to help you share anonymous tips on what is (and isn’t) working for you at Stanford.
-
Room 126 becomes The Shroom Room: a pop-up bar serving alternative beverages and snacks designed to change your mind.
-
The Red Truck corridor becomes The Isle of Design: a place to talk to Stanford Design Program students, Faculty and staff to learn more about the Undergrad, Grad and Elective Programs.
-
Huddle 1 becomes The Hot Pocket: a place for artists and designers to showcase provocative and/or polarizing work that is “still in the oven” (ie, a work in progress).
Oh! And Hot Pockets will be served until they are gone. ;)
-
The Atrium becomes The Dance Floor: a place to sing, dance, move and groove to your favorite Stanford bands.

The Who Knows is the who knows…
We understand your desire for clarity and we encourage you to let it go.
Come not because you know what is going to happen—but the exact opposite—you don’t know what is going to happen.

People meet
