Interview with Debra Gore : Alumni Stories
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Debra Gore (BS Management Science and Engineering, 1983; MBA, 1987) discusses her biracial identity and how this impacted her academically and socially prior to, and while, attending Stanford. She recounts how, despite the barriers before her, she was admitted to Stanford and was a successful engineering student, championed by faculty member, Professor James Jucker. Gore also describes her sense of accomplishment that came from being on the Women’s Basketball Team all four years while maintaining her studies. She recalls finding community and support through Ujamaa House, women’s sports, PhD students, Black Sororities and Fraternities, and the Stanford Gospel Choir. Gore advises current students to explore their identities while at Stanford and challenge themselves “to see what they can pull out of themselves.”
