the event.

will be charged a cancellation fee of $50.00. If you cancel
after that date, you will forfeit the entire registration
cost.
May I bring a guest who is not an alum of the Stanford University
in Florence Program?
Yes, you are welcome to bring one or more guests and/or
family members at a reduced rate. There is no fee for children age
12 and under.
Is the Reunion child-friendly?
Everyone is welcome to participate in the Sunday evening
reception, but we feel that the events on Monday and
Tuesday morning would not be of
any interest to young children. Some of the afternoon
visits are more suited to
children than others though very small children probably
would not find them interesting. We are happy to give
you suggestions for what to do in Florence with small
children (especially in the summer). We are not in a position
to provide or recommend babysitting services.
Can you take care of flight and/or hotel reservations for me?
No, participants must arrange their own flights and hotels.

Do you have any restaurant recommendations?
Please download our Guide to Eating In and Around Florence
Do you have any recommended readings or films?
Please download a bibliography and short filmography prepared by Professor Martin Evans.
How can I know who else has reserved?
Please see the "Look Who's Coming" page,
some alums have requested we omit their names from the
list.
Is there some way I can participate in the Celebration, even if cannot
make the actual trip to Florence?
We would love to hear from you with memories
of your time abroad in Florence. We are also
very interested in photographs and hope to compile a collection
of photographs from alums over the entire fifty years.
Please email them
to us.
While we have contacted all alumnae and alumni of the program, another crucial way you can participate in our celebration is by spreading the word to friends and family members who also attended the Stanford Program in Florence.
