How to Use the Stanford/Affiliates View on StanfordWho

StanfordWho, also known as Stanford Directory, is the web application that allows you to search the Stanford directory of faculty, staff, students and sponsored affiliates at Stanford University and the Stanford hospitals to view contact and organization information. StanfordWho displays both a public directory and a restricted Stanford/Affiliates view. You must be logged in with your SUNet ID to search in the Stanford/Affiliates view.

The Stanford/Affiliates view of StanfordWho has an updated display, features and functionality including:

  • New tabs across the top allow you to toggle between search options with ease.
  • A new department tab that features a hierarchical department directory you can click through.
  • An enhanced people directory with better filters and search results.
  • Added predictive search creating better search results. 
  • New desktop app that has a smoother user experience

Note: The previous StanfordWho mobile app is no longer functional. You can use the new desktop app on any personal device including your mobile device. Follow these instructions to download.

How to use the StanfordWho profile interface in the Stanford/Affiliates view

When you search the Stanford/Affiliates view of StanfordWho, you will see the following information in each profile interface:

  • Stanford ID card or Stanford Profile photo or Stanford stock photo. Displays visible Stanford ID card photos or photos on Stanford Profiles (Community Academic Profiles, or CAP). For those who do not have visible photos, you will see a Stanford stock image. Note: StanfordWho images are updated on a daily basis from Stanford Profiles. If you have changed your image visibility setting in StanfordYou or updated your Stanford ID photo or updated your photo in Stanford Profiles, the change will automatically be reflected in StanfordWho with the next update.
  • Contact information. Displays preferred contact information. Note: A lock icon indicates information that is only visible to you.
  • Stanford Profiles link. Navigates you to Stanford Profile page for the person you are viewing.
  • Department quick link. Navigates you to the people listing within that department. In addition to filtering the list of people in the department, you can now view counts and sort the list.
  • My Profile link. Opens a menu with options to view your profile, edit your directory information, or log out. "Edit My Directory Information" will send you to StanfordYou where you can change what you would like to be listed in both the public and Stanford views.
  • Org chart. Select this to explore an interactive organization chart.
  • People Directory. Navigates you to the top level Stanford directory where you use filters to search.
  • Departments. Opens a hierarchicaldirectory of Stanford departments. Once you click a department, you'll be directed to the people listing from within that department.   
  • Search. Search for someone by entering their name, email, SUNet ID, department, title, or other keywords.
  • Discover the correct pronunciations of others' names. If an individual has recorded their name pronunciation, a sound icon will appear with a link “Hear my name.” Click the link to hear a recording of the person's name.
