Year in Review 2025
From sustainable beats and food recovery leaps, the year 2025 set a new standard for Stanford traditions and operations.
As part of the Living Lab Program, students have the opportunity to create change in various areas of operations at Stanford, including food systems, climate action, zero waste, and more. Sixty-one students embarked on their fellowship and internship journeys to advance campus sustainability. Their orientations in September were filled with networking sessions, a tour of the Central Energy Facility, presentations from former fellows and interns, and the first change management class for Living Lab fellows.
