The Stanford Daily has been a fixture on the Stanford campus since the University was founded in 1892. The paper began as a small publication known to locals as The Daily Palo Alto and has grown to its current status as one of the finest college newspapers in the country. The Stanford Daily newspaper is the primary holding of The Stanford Daily Publishing Corporation. Founded in 1973, The Stanford

Daily Publishing Corporation operates as a California non-profit corporation headed by the paper’s editor in chief and business manager.

OPINION: ‘In his recent op-ed, Dr. Dinsha Mistree argues that it is not SIPEC, but Stanford, that is failing “more than 450 students [who] are Indian citizens; many more [who] are of Indian origin or are simply curious about one of the largest countries on earth.” Mistree contends that intellectual diversity is best achieved “not by demanding that any single student group represent the full diversity on a given issue, but by allowing a plurality of groups to each pursue their own perspectives.” This argument is troubling for several reasons.’

Stanford baseball’s season (28-26, 13-17 ACC) came to an end last Wednesday after an 11-2 loss to Miami (39-20, 16-14 ACC) in the second round of the ACC Championship tournament.

The Cardinal’s second season in the ACC was marked by inconsistency. Stanford never won or lost more than three consecutive conference games, stringing together several 2-1 and 1-2 ACC series throughout the spring while struggling to establish itself in one of college baseball’s deepest conferences.

Heloise Hoffmann ’26 watches two clusters of cells, side-by-side, in her lab. One group is growing and living normally. The other is dying. 

Cell death happens all the time in the lab; it’s necessary for disease research. And on the surface, culturing these samples might seem mundane: there’s lots of changing media, a nutrient-filled, watery gel that serves as cell food. But watching these particular cells, and their deaths, holds personal stakes for Hoffmann: she has the same diseased cells in her own muscles.

Brown served as the 2025-26 Associated Students of Stanford University (ASSU) president, is a member of the Stanford equestrian team and a part of the Xi Beta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.

OPINION: “How do you quantify the ability to sit in ambiguity? The experience of facilitating discussion on a 19th-century novel? The experience of searching digital research libraries like JSTOR for hours and failing to find what you needed? More broadly, what is the tangible value of the slow, uncomfortable, ego-destroying effort it takes to create something inevitably flawed? 

That last question is what I ask myself every day, particularly this week as I struggle to condense my notebooks into a digestible final paper or presentation. The essays I will turn in this finals week are by no means the best scholarship in their fields. They are certainly not my best work. They are, however, mine.”

Trevor Islam sat in the stands, blending into the crowd, as he watched Stanford men’s soccer play under the bright lights of Cagan Stadium. Two years later, a Stanford player himself, he celebrated his goals with his iconic backflip as those same lights shone on him.

Last season, Islam emerged as Stanford’s leading goal scorer, with six goals and three assists. However, behind his rise from unknown walk-on to the Cardinal’s leading scorer lies an unconventional journey of relentless dedication, discipline and hope in pursuit of a dream.

The Give & Go Donation Program aims to change that. Established by Residential and Dining Enterprises (R&DE) in 2013, the program serves as Stanford’s primary summer donation program, encouraging students to reduce waste by donating unused items. Today, Give & Go—recognizable by its student-designed alpaca logo—has grown into an expansive endeavor, with twelve general donation sites spanning dorm pods, trailers and entire enclosures coupled with nine bike drop-off spots scattered around campus. The program operates bike donation and recycling stations year-round, but the bulk of donations come during the summer. Over the past decade, Give & Go has collected more than 612 tons of donations, with 112.5 tons from last summer.

OPINION: ‘What do you wear to an Olivia Rodrigo concert? Purple plaid is so “SOUR.” Leather and fishnets are out. Rodrigo’s new style for her third album, “you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love,” features soft pinks and florals, loose fabric and short skirts. She’s bringing back the babydoll dress, and the Internet is freaking out.

Two recent outfits sparked online controversy, with comments about Rodrigo infantilizing herself by wearing a babydoll dress.’

Starting this January, students eating at the Arrillaga Family Dining Commons have seen new dishes and a more dynamic menu. The changes have been a long time coming. Months of contract negotiations and policy changes have now allowed the team to better meet students’ culinary demands, according to staff and chefs at the dining hall.

A key shift has been facilitating greater flexibility in making adjustments to the menu. Staff now have more independence to choose ingredients in the purchasing system, according to Associate Director of Student Dining Culinary Programs Mychel Brewster. The team behind each food station within a dining hall has also gained the ability to make changes to the online menu portal.
