Stanford GSB Centennial

For 100 years, Stanford Graduate School of Business has had a profound, positive, and enduring influence on business and society.

In 2025, we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the opening of Stanford GSB — but our journey is far from over. The momentum of a century propels us to seize the endless opportunities ahead.

100

For 100 years, we’ve been dedicated to the things that haven’t happened yet and the people who are about to dream them up.

Centennial Celebrations

We have begun a year-long celebration of the 100th anniversary of our founding in 1925. Throughout this year, we will create dynamic in-person events, engaging digital experiences, and inspiring content for our global community.

10.10.25 Centennial Celebration

We will host our marquee centennial celebration on October 10, 2025, beginning with an expanded alumni reunion and culminating with a celebratory event for the entire GSB community at Frost Amphitheater. This year, you will have many opportunities to reflect on the impact of the last century and imagine what could be — leading up to this once-in-a-century community celebration on Stanford campus.

Save the date and follow us for updates and how to get involved.
