Stanford and Carvana Forge Deeper Ties Beyond Game Day

Student-athletes will gain access to professional development opportunities, connecting directly with Carvana’s leadership team and tapping into pathways for mentorship and career advancement.
"As a former Stanford student-athlete, I know first-hand the impact that community and mentorship can have on career and personal growth," said Dan Gill, Carvana’s Chief Product Officer and Stanford Hall of Fame gymnast. "Bringing these two communities together means we can celebrate our shared values—persistence, resilience, creativity—in exciting new ways."
Why This Matters: Blending Tradition with Innovation
Stanford’s athletic program stands as the nation’s premier collegiate powerhouse, with 137 NCAA team championships, 49 straight years of at least one NCAA team title, and a storied Olympic legacy. The new partnership leverages this reputation for excellence, aligning with Carvana’s own innovative ethos and commitment to reshaping experiences—in sports, business, and beyond.
For Stanford students, fans, and alumni, the partnership means more than just branding or entertainment; it’s about meaningful engagement, community support, and a fresh take on tradition.
Takeaway for Students and Fans: More Than Just a Game
The collaboration between Carvana and Stanford Athletics represents a broader trend in collegiate partnerships: creating lasting impact that extends off the field and into students’ lives and future careers. As the partnership launches this fall, Cardinal supporters can expect a richer, more interactive experience—both in the stadium and throughout the Stanford community.
