Hello Everyone!


Happy 2026! I hope you all had a nice break with family and friends. It's important to spend some quality time away from work and come back refreshed.


Family weekend is coming up February 27 & 28, 2026. This annual event provides families a glimpse of their undergraduate student's life at Stanford. Take a moment and make sure your building(s) is ready for the two day event. Check out the website here for more details.

I hope you enjoy this edition of From the Ground Up. Please let me know of any interesting articles that you might want to see in future editions. I love article suggestions! I also love photo's around campus! Want to see your photo featured above, send it over to me!
