Welcome to Stanford Student Enterprises!

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.

First organized in 1891, the ASSU is the designated representative of the student body. In the early 1960’s, the student position of Financial Manager was created to oversee ASSU financial operations, and the Association formally separated its accounts from those of the University. As a further step towards financial independence, the ASSU stopped receiving funding from the University in 1995. In 1996, Financial Manager John Hall founded Stanford Student Enterprises in order to ensure the long-term financial viability and independence of the Association.
