Two seminar programs were proposed by University President Gerhard Casper in 1996 to increase the amount of interaction first- and second-year undergraduates have with senior faculty. For Freshman, the "Stanford Introductory Studies" seminar was created. The Sophomore College was piloted in 1996 as a two-week educational program to help connect senior faculty and sophomore students in September before the start of the academic year.
