King Global Leadership Program

Regular workshops led by Stanford faculty, external experts, and sometimes current scholars. Topics range from negotiation and conflict resolution to design thinking and ethical decision-making. These aren't lectures — they're interactive sessions where scholars from wildly different fields work through problems together.

World-class speakers visit Denning House for intimate conversations with scholars. Past speakers have included heads of state, Nobel laureates, CEOs, social entrepreneurs, and activists. The format is typically conversational — small group, lots of Q&A, not a formal lecture.

Funded international trips where scholars explore leadership challenges in different cultural contexts. Past trips have taken scholars to countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe. These aren't tourist excursions — they involve meetings with local leaders, NGOs, and organizations working on complex problems.

Scholar-led projects that bring together multidisciplinary teams to tackle real-world problems. These are collaborative ventures where an MBA student might work with a medical student and a law student on a single challenge. KHS provides mentorship, funding, and access to Stanford resources.

Denning House is the physical home of the KHS community on campus. It serves as a gathering space, event venue, and social hub. Scholars don't live there (they live in Stanford graduate housing), but it functions as a "home base" for the community — drop-in coffee, informal dinners, study sessions, and program events.

An annual retreat at Stanford's Sierra Camp near Fallen Leaf Lake in the Sierra Nevada mountains. This is where deep bonds form between scholars — campfires, hikes, and conversations about leadership and purpose in an environment far removed from the pressures of campus life.
