Interview with Vy Luu : Alumni Stories - Luu, Vy; Marine-Street, Natalie J.; Stanford Historical Society (Stanford Historical Society Oral History Program Interviews, 2022)
Vy Luu (BA Sociology, 2017) shares memories of being a first-generation student at Stanford. She describes navigating the college application process as an immigrant from Vietnam and how she received advice from a high school peer a year above her. She recalls finding community through Stanford’s First-generation Low-income Partnership (FLIP), which helped her overcome her imposter syndrome. Following the advice of her pre-major advisor, Luu recalls exploring different avenues at Stanford, including Alternative Spring Breaks and the Pioneering Women Oral History Project.
