Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Shannon Ashford (BA Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, BA Political Science, 2002) talks about the joys and challenges of her undergraduate years at Stanford. Ashford recalls the extracurricular activities she was involved in such as the 6th Man basketball team, the Stanford Daily, and the Black Student Union. She shares memories from studying at Stanford in Washington and Stanford in Oxford and describes how participating in undergraduate research opportunities developed into her senior honors thesis about music and identity in West Africa. Ashford comments that the way Stanford “invites people in” is what makes Stanford so special.
