Your Scandinavian Community at Stanford.
Midsummer Sittning: Tickets Out Now!
who we are
Stanford Scandinavian Society was founded in March 2025. We are a community of students from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland, and anyone interested in Nordic culture!
what we do
Our flagship event is our quarterly “Sittning,” a formal dinner where we dress up, sing songs, and eat good food. Sittnings are a beloved tradition at universities in Sweden. We host traditional Nordic holiday celebrations, like Valborg and Syttende Mai, and we get together often to hang out and chat over Fika. We also host industry networking events with Nordic companies in Silicon Valley.
get involved
To become a member, sign up on CardinalEngage and follow us on Instagram for info about our upcoming events. After that, we’ll invite you to our group chat on WhatsApp. All undergraduate, graduate, and visiting students at Stanford can join. We look forward to welcoming you to our community!
