Prospective first-year students sample life on the Farm during Admit Weekend

Cardinal spirit was evident across campus last week when prospective first-year students, family members and guests visited Stanford for Admit Weekend. The ProFros, as they are affectionately known, have until May 1 to decide whether they will accept Stanford’s offer to join the Class of 2023. University photographer Linda A. Cicero captured some of the highlights of the weekend.
