Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Jon Kissane (AB History, 1991; BS Engineering, 1992) describes growing up in Silicon Valley as it was becoming increasingly dominated by the tech industry, why he chose to attend Stanford, and his undergraduate years there in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He shares memories of Florence Moore dorm, his experiences on the crew team, and the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. He also describes participating in the Stanford in Kraków Program right after the Berlin Wall fell and living in Slavianskii Dom where he met his future wife, and he reflects on change over time at Stanford.
