Your Scandinavian Community at Stanford.
who we are
Stanford Scandinavian Society was founded in March 2025. We are a community of students from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland, and anyone who is interested in Scandinavian/Nordic culture!
what we do
Our flagship event is our quarterly “Sittning,” a formal dinner where we dress up, sing songs, eat good food and laugh a lot. Sittnings are a beloved tradition at universities in Sweden. We host traditional Scandinavian holiday celebrations, like Valborg and Syttende Mai, and we get together often to hang out and chat over Fika (coffee and pastries). We also host industry networking events with Nordic companies in Silicon Valley.
get involved
To become a member, sign up here and follow us on Instagram for info about our upcoming events. After that, we’ll invite you to our group chat on WhatsApp. All undergraduate, graduate, and visiting students at Stanford can join. We look forward to welcoming you to our community!
