Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Jeff Raikes (BS Engineering Economic Systems, 1980) talks about growing up in rural Nebraska, his path to Stanford, the influence his parents had on his life, and the importance of having a plan but being open to opportunity. He shares memories of the impact of professors Bill Linvill and Peter Winkler, his introduction to computer programming, living and being an RA in Ujamaa, and starting the NCAA basketball Calcutta at Stanford. Raikes also presents highlights of his life after Stanford, which included working at Atari and Apple, co-creating Microsoft Office, leading the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and serving as the chair of the Stanford University Board of Trustees.
