What We Do

The Office of Special Events & Protocol (OSEP) provides general event policy guidance to members of the Stanford community. We produce several of the University's major annual events.  OSEP also advises schools, departments and institutes regarding planning considerations for non-academic events and activities held in University facilities and open spaces.
