Barbara Lemus : Estánfor: Our Voices
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In this oral history, Barbara Lemus talks about her upbringing in Sacramento, California, and her path to Stanford and shares her experiences as a Stanford student in the 1970s. Lemus talks about her love for Ballet Folklórico, psychology, and Stanford’s Latinx community. Asked about the impact of her Stanford education, she remarks, “I think it gave me the confidence to do what I needed to do.” After graduating, Lemus took a number of state government jobs in Sacramento, California, originally doing policy work for the welfare program and moving her way up to the Medi-Cal policy area. She briefly mentions her experience working in the Office of AIDs in the Department of Healthcare Services during a time when those with the disease faced strong social stigma. Barbara Lemus graduated from Stanford in 1976 with a BA in psychology. Today, she is happily retired, but continues to take part in the Latinx community through alumni programs and events.
