Interview with Loudin Beam : Alumni Stories
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Loudin Beam (AB Political Science, 1971) speaks about growing up as the child of a Black naval officer and his path from high school in San Diego to Stanford, despite the discouragement of his high school guidance counselor. He recalls his freshman experience living in Junipero, including waging water wars with a neighboring dorm, and discusses his involvement with the Associated Students of Stanford University Student Senate, especially campaigning as part of a moderate slate and producing concerts on campus. Beam also shares memories of participating in a Keio University/Stanford exchange program in Japan, Stanford football, the Vietnam War-era climate of protest and surveillance on campus, and surviving COVID-19. He concludes the interview with a brief tour of his extensive work in food business marketing and brand management.
