Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In this oral history, Allyson Williams (AB Political Science, 1993) shares her experiences as an undergraduate at Stanford University. She describes what her first days on campus were like and mentions her role as the Black Student Union president and co-founder of the dance group, Jam Pac’d. Williams also talks about her involvement in student government, which at the time, was calling on Stanford’s administration to protect students against hate speech. She recalls the challenges she faced when switching majors, but also the help she received from her many advisors, including Condoleezza Rice, to overcome obstacles. After Stanford, Williams became a consultant in research and international affairs, and now works at the Coca-Cola Company. She also enjoys her time teaching Sunday school and being a deacon for her church.
