About this Event

This year’s theme, Around the World in One Evening, brings together students, alumni, and friends of the Master’s in International Policy program for a relaxed, social, and globally inspired evening. Set at Vina Enoteca, the event is designed to move beyond the classroom and into a space where conversations flow more freely, connections deepen, and the MIP network comes to life.

Expect a lively mix of familiar faces and new introductions, spanning cohorts, regions, and professional paths. Whether you’re reconnecting with former classmates, meeting current students, or expanding your network across the MIP community, this is an opportunity to engage with a group united by a shared commitment to global affairs.

Enjoy a curated selection of food and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic options provided) as you settle in, mingle, and explore conversations that cross borders and disciplines.

We can’t wait to see you there!

Coming up soon: Stanford Day of Giving!

We’re excited to share that Stanford’s Day of Giving is fast approaching! This university-wide celebration of philanthropy is a chance for our entire community to come together, give back, and make a meaningful impact—both on campus and beyond.

If you or someone you know is looking for a way to make a direct difference, this is a wonderful opportunity to do so.

Help spread the word! Our MIP alumni network is strong and mighty, so please consider sharing this with friends and colleagues.
