There's a lot happening in 2023/2024, join us!

One of the oldest Stanford alumni clubs, the Stanford Women’s Club of San Francisco has been providing unique cultural and social experiences for Stanford alumni, spouses, and parents since 1920.

​Originally founded by Stanford women returning from the volunteer auxiliary corps after WWI, our mission is to bring together members of all ages to share and learn from each other across generations.
​
Together, we enrich lives, enhance community, and strengthen ties to Stanford.

Lecture Series
From political and social turmoil in the Middle East, to the history of the San Francisco waterfront, to a yearly panel discussion about the state of women in the workplace, our lecture series feature expert speakers sharing their unique insights on highly relevant topics to our members and the wider world. Enhanced by the intellectual curiosity of a Stanford audience and paired with wine and snacks, these daytime and evening events are organized exclusively by the club for members, alumni, and their guests. Lectures are usually available by zoom, check specific event listings for details.

Brunches and Dinners
Our quarterly potluck dinners and brunches bring together stimulating conversations, great food, and new friends. These small simultaneous potluck meals take place in the homes of Stanford women throughout San Francisco and are open to members and prospective members of the club. ​Attendees enjoy sharing a meal with a supportive extended family of fascinating women who have done such a wide range of interesting things that it's hard to come away not feeling inspired and energized.

Cultural Events
From nights at the San Francisco Opera for all Stanford alumni, to private collection art tours exclusively for club members, our club offers a diverse range of cultural experiences amongst relaxed, friendly company. Whether a young alum is attending her first opera, or a seasoned alum is critiquing contemporary art at the Jules Maeght gallery in Hayes Valley at our Art and Wine event, we aim to create accessible, enlightening, and social experiences around the appreciation of art and culture right in the heart of SF. 

THE SCHOLARSHIP FUND

We help promising women afford their Stanford educations.

Through the efforts of generations of members, our club has established an endowed scholarship fund that supports the Stanford education of women from San Francisco. We are extremely proud of this accomplishment and grateful for the generous contributions of our members.

Annual Art Tour
This highly coveted yearly event offers members a truly unique experience with art. Ranging from touring exclusive collections in private homes from Pacific Heights to Hillsborough, to corporate art collections that are not on display to the public, to private tours of major museums with expert curators, this event is always followed by a social group lunch, delivering fun, food, and friends alongside our glimpse not only into the art itself, but into how we as modern humans live in its midst.

The Holiday Party
This annual December event brings members together to celebrate the season with food, wine, and friends. Hosted in the beautiful home of one of the club's board members, this event is meant as a "thank you" to our members for their engaged participation throughout the year.
