Learn MoreWhy the Heron?
The heron on the shield was chosen by a small group of FroSoCo staff, students, and alumni (working with a professional designer, Corwin Stone of The Milk Farm design firm) charged with the task of developing a logo for FroSoCo. We thought that the general idea of a heraldic shield would be cool and amusing. Herons occasionally visit the berm in front of FroSoCo to hunt the rabbits there. They are beautiful and graceful birds with a noble bearing. The heron has interesting and varied symbolism in many different cultures often clustering around a combination of notions of beauty and elegance in balance with strength, power, independence and self-reliance - just the kind of balanced excellence we strive to exemplify at FroSoCo.

Ricker Dining
The first university facility of its kind in the nation, Ricker Dining is Stanford's highly lauded peanut-sensitive dining environment. In recognition of the growing number of students with peanut allergies, we've taken the steps necessary to provide a safe, full-featured facility in which peanut-sensitive and non-peanut-sensitive diners alike can enjoy the best of what Stanford Dining has to offer. With its beautiful dining location on the west side of campus complete with a state-of-the art meeting room, lounge areas and trellised patio, it's best to enjoy your meal al fresco.
