Programs for International Spouses and Families

The Bechtel International Center extends a warm welcome to the spouses of international students and visiting scholars at Stanford. We hope your time at Stanford will be an enriching experience for every member of your family.

This program provides events and activities for international spouses, partners and families including kids. Our events are great to make friends, build your network, practice English in a safe environment and explore opportunities - everything you need to get settled and have a fulfilling time in the Bay Area.
