Residential neighborhoods welcome students with barbecues

Undergraduate students and residential staff gathered last week for a series of eight neighborhood barbecues to kick off the academic year.

At residence neighborhoods across campus last week, undergraduate students of all class years enjoyed food, drinks, music, and activities at a series of welcome barbecues. At Lagunita Court, residents played bingo and received Stanford swag including t-shirts and stationary. At the Wilbur Field barbecue, students played spikeball. President Marc Tessier-Lavigne and Provost Persis Drell made their way to the events throughout the week to greet students.

Here are some highlights captured by university photographer Andrew Brodhead.
