Welcome to Stanford Student Enterprises!


SSE Old Union Office

Stanford Student Enterprises is a young, dynamic organization which reflects the energy and talent of our student employees, but our close affiliation with the Associated Students of Stanford University imbues SSE with a tradition as old as Stanford University itself.

Formally organized in 1996, SSE is tasked with maintaining the financial viability of the ASSU and ensuring that student groups and student leaders have adequate funding and resources.

With six student-run business divisions, SSE offers valuable services to the Stanford community and unique hands-on business experience for its employees.
