Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Risa Shimoda (BS Engineering Product Design, 1979) explains how letters from then Dean of Admissions, Fred Hargadon, helped convince her to attend Stanford. At Stanford, Shimoda describes using her passion for organizing in a variety of activities such as choreographing dorm musicals and being one of the Senior Class presidents. She shares how Structured Liberal Education (SLE) was helpful in her transition to college, later becoming a Resident Assistant (RA) for this program, as well as fond memories of witnessing the beginnings of design thinking at Stanford and studying abroad at Cliveden (Stanford in England).
