THE J.E.D.I ACTION PLAN
Journey
Remember Admit Weekend and NSO? Maybe you were nervous, didn’t know what to expect, or were worried about how quickly you’d find someone to start conversation with. Regardless of how you started, we all know how it ended with incredible friendships and connections that bring fulfillment and meaning to your daily lives here at Stanford.
The problem is that after Frosh year, there is no Admit Weekend, NSO, or Sophomore-only housing. Understanding how many special individuals are here on campus, Team JEDI is committed to continuing our journey as a collective class and can only do so by also continuing the fostering of introductions to people whom you wouldn’t otherwise meet in your major, residence, or involvements.
The Journey pillar is about keeping the magic of Frosh year alive by creating spaces and opportunities, big and small, for you to meet someone new, discover new communities, and build friendships that last beyond Stanford. See how we plan to make this happen below in our events and initiatives list!
Events and Initiatives
We have money to spend, and you can bet it’ll be used for “fun strikes back” initiatives.
- Local Love @ Tressider – hosting local restaurants for pop-up food stands (Pizzeria Delfinas, Zareens, MJ Sushi)
- Grade wedding! Get out your finest cocktail attire and elect the lucky hitched pair

Dream-Building
Sophomore year is when students start turning interests into real paths, so I want to support dream-building by creating opportunities for sophomores to explore careers, connect with mentors, and gain early exposure to the fields they’re excited about.
- Alum career panels by industry
- Student/Alum tailgates
- Sophomore Career Discovery Week: a week of panels and networking events for all fields (tech, medicine, public policy, entrepreneurship, arts) with different events each day
- Open workshops and mixers led by sophomore students in pre-professional clubs
- Exclusive class-wide career fair
- Job shadow matching program
Involvement
We know we don’t represent every facet of the student population, so we’re excited to announce club liaisons where student representatives from major organizations serve directory roles to help us better understand the class needs. This includes clubs ranging from culture clubs to pre-professional clubs to art clubs. Whether you have an idea for a shared arts event, a cultural holiday, or a networking event, we would love to work with you! Or if you want to increase awareness of a specific community on campus, we are here to amplify your voice!
