Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Kurt Hofgard (1989 BA History) shares memories of his time at Stanford during the 1980s. In particular he recalls his time abroad at the Stanford in Oxford program and his love for the classes he took in the Department of History, including classes with Professor David Kennedy. He concludes by reflecting on the challenge of transitioning from the “big fish in a little pond” environment of high school to being a “little fish in a big pond” at Stanford, advising students to visit their professors during office hours, and ruminating on his latest role at Stanford--being a parent of an undergraduate student.
