Julia Sullivan : Estánfor: Our Voices
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In this interview, Julia Arellano Sullivan describes her experience as the only Latina at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business (GSB) in the early 1980s. Sullivan describes her undergraduate experience at Kettering University where there was only one other Latino student. She recalls yearning for a sense of community with others Latinos when she arrived at Stanford but experiencing criticism given her decision to pursue a career in business. Speaking about her time as a Chicano Fellow, she describes the course, “The Chicano Professional,” that she taught, as well as her service as a member of the Committee in Charge of the Chicano Fellows Program. She also describes the Vision 2025: Diversity and Community at the GSB initiative. Sullivan movingly recalls the support Cecilia Burciaga and José Antonio provided and encourages current Stanford students to believe in themselves no matter the odds. Julia Sullivan graduated from the GSB in 1982. She helped to establish the Latino Business Action Network, now known as the Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative, and she currently heads the Hispanic alumni chapter for the GSB alumni relations organization.
