¡Bienvenidos!

We’re excited to come together with you! As we began planning this summit, we started with a simple truth: none of us got here alone. Each of us is the product of communities that inspired, challenged, and supported us, that nurtured our dreams and shaped our ambitions. 

For more than 10,000 people around the world, one of those communities is our Stanford familia. This September, we're gathering to reconnect with those roots, with each other, and consider how we’ll continue to grow together. 

Across three days, we’ll celebrate our culture, find joyful connection, and explore our collective past, present, and future. We’ll also reflect on our shared histories—the full story, not just the parts that are easy to honor—and grapple honestly with the moment we’re living in. At a time when many in our communities are vulnerable and in need of support, we’ll have honest conversations about what we need from each other. We'll dream together about what comes next—not just for us, but for the generations that will follow in our footsteps.

The theme for this summit is “Rooted in Comunidad We Thrive.” We believe that. And we also know that building that community means showing up. That's what this weekend is for—and we can't wait to be in the same room with you.

Con cariño,
