OVAL Registration

Parents of Stanford Undergraduates

Parent volunteers have a unique perspective to contribute to admission office activities:

  • only another parent can adequately share both the experience of sending a child to college, and
  • the experience of paying for it!

Parent volunteers are invaluable at events such as college fairs and admit receptions where parents of prospective students will be present and have questions.

If you are a non-alumni Stanford parent interested in volunteering, register by completing the following steps:

  • Send an email to alumniadmission@stanford.edu and write “Parent Volunteer” in the subject line
  • Include in the email your contact information: name, address, phone and email
  • Note your child’s name and class year

We will contact you as opportunities arise.

In the interest of avoiding potential conflicts of interest, we ask that Stanford parents with other children who will be applying to college (Stanford or other) within two years to suspend their OVAL volunteer activities until the application and decision process is complete.
