ADDITIONAL PREPARATION FOR AN INFORMATION SESSION


STANFORD'S GUIDELINES FOR ALCOHOL USE
Some companies choose to serve beer or wine at their event. If this is desired, we ask you to plan your event in accordance with Stanford's guidelines for alcohol use:

  • When planning your event, please keep in mind that the distribution of alcohol to persons under the age of 21 is prohibited.
  • Alcohol should not be the main "focus" of the event. When advertising in The Stanford Daily, consider describing your main event as a reception, open house, or information session, with the main emphasis on your company and not the alcohol served.
  • Whenever alcohol is served, it is required that you serve an equally attractive and equally abundant nonalcoholic beverage. Food should also be served along with the alcohol.
ADVERTISING ON CAMPUS
Many companies choose to advertise their information session in The Stanford Daily,Stanford's daily newspaper. To place an ad, contact the business office at (650) 723-2554 ext 401. Ad deadlines are two days prior to the date of the desired publication (by 3:00pm).

AT THE EVENT
When you arrive at Tresidder Union, you may contact the building supervisor at the Meeting Services desk (2nd floor lobby).
