Stanford Off & On Learning Campus Opportunities (SOLO) Stanford offers numerous opportunities for students to complement and strengthen the learning they do on-campus: internships, international experiences, research, public service (and so on) but it’s not always easy to find out about them, keep up with the deadlines and requirements, or even apply for them. Their goal is to make it easy for students to find opportunities, apply, and prepare for international travel if applicable. 

STS Opportunities Students looking for opportunities directly related to STS can periodically review this spreadsheet. These jobs and internships are submitted by Stanford staff, Stanford affiliates, and companies/organizations looking for Stanford students. Opportunities are added and removed on a rolling basis and students are encouraged to check this resource early and often.
