- Abstract
- Jennifer Mason-Montague graduated from Stanford in 1991 with a BA in quantitative economics and feminist studies. In this oral history, she describes her undergraduate experience at Stanford, including her participation in the Black Student Union, Bridge Peer Counseling Center, and Delta Sigma Theta sorority. Mason-Montague recalls her reaction to the Otero Incident during her freshman year, in which students protesting disciplinary sanctions against a student for homophobic slurs paraded in Ku Klux Klan-like regalia. She opens up about her depression as an undergraduate, advises Stanford to be proactive in confronting possible mental health issues, and urges students to seek help when they need it and find things “that were part of their upbringing that continually make them happy and give them joy.”
