Stanford graduation attendees walked out during Google CEO Sundar Pichai's commencement speech on June 14, 2026 to protest Google's Project Nimbus contract with the Israeli government and related ties to the Israeli military and government agencies. This is the third consecutive year Stanford graduates staged walkouts during commencement speeches, signaling sustained student organizing around tech company government partnerships. The protest reflects broader campus activism over tech companies' work with specific government entities — concerns that have driven similar actions across major universities since 2024.
