The Stanford Connected app is about accomplishing one objective: To connect all people, experiences, things and groups that relate to Stanford. By downloading the app you have access to a dedicated platform which allows you to start or join your own Stanford-centric group, invite in others, easily post pictures and comments, and find out whats happening in and around campus. You can view event calendars, get directions, receive alerts, find people who "check in" to the live map, post pictures, and generally interact with other students, alums, and friends.
