We strongly believe that many students will use various University facilities later at night, well after their current closing times. Also take into account that freshmen won't have cars in a year and that there will be hundreds of new on-campus graduate students within the next couple of years. Stanford After Midnight, in the works for over three months, is a comprehensive partnership between the ASSU, the Office of the Dean of Students, and many departments and vendors within the Stanford community. Right now, we have several done deals and partnerships made. We can't wait to make a big splash when students return Winter Quarter.
Students are always up after midnight.
After Midnight will begin with a Grand Opening celebration on January 13. Winter Quarter will serve as a pilot for Stanford After Midnight, in which a variety of venues will stay open later and examine the financial implications of doing so. After Midnight will enhance academic well-being and social life for Stanford students. Dean of Students Marc Wais agreed. The University is delighted to partner with the ASSU on Stanford After Midnight, an initiative to enhance the quality of life for students both in and out of the classroom.
