Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Julia Kazaks (AB History and Political Science, 1991) recalls her first impressions of Stanford as a fresh and modern institution via the application brochure and visiting campus for the first-time during Orientation, when the Wilbur Hall resident assistants called out her name as she entered the dorm. She shares memories of the Otero Incident, attending football games, hearing famous visitors on campus like Jesse Jackson and Mikhail Gorbachev, and helping to start the Stanford Literacy Project with classmate Joanne Lin. She describes how she found an academic home in history and political science and how her academic interests took her to both Chile and Stanford-in-Washington. Finally, her reflects on the financial worries she experienced as a student and recalls her many hours working at the Faculty Club, including spilling coffee on George Shultz.
