Once a month, the Stanley hosts themed events for students called "Nights at the Museum" because they occur Thursday nights, when the museum is open late. These events are designed to introduce the museum to students across campus through engaging activities.
These events are planned and developed with the assistance of the Campus Engagement Coordinator, a student employee who works with museum staff to engage student audiences.
All events are free and do not require registration unless otherwise specified.
