StanfordWho Upgrade

Stanford Directory Upgrade - Summer 2024

University IT (UIT) will upgrade StanfordWho during planned maintenance on August 3, 2024. If you have trouble accessing StanfordWho after the update, try these additional steps: Clear your browser cache. Ensure any StanfordWho bookmark is pointing to  https://stanfordwho.stanford.edu/ Try opening StanfordWho in a new private (incognito) browser session. This guidance is based on prior experience with a similar upgrade, which affected some users' ability to immediately access the service.

The interface changes are slight, but you might want to familiarize yourself with some of StanfordWho's new features. 

Public Directory

The public directory has a refreshed look with some added color.
