Mahta Baghoolizadeh : Interview for the Markaz Oral History Project
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Mahta Baghoolizadeh (2013 BS Biology), currently a medical school resident at University of California, Los Angeles, shares memories of her involvement in the Muslim community at Stanford and the creation of the Markaz Resource Center. She describes the experience of being a Muslim at Stanford and the sense of community she found through her involvement in the Muslim Student Awareness Network and the Islamic Society of Stanford University, two active student groups that predated the Markaz. She also details the efforts that went into the establishment of the Markaz: drafting a formal proposal, inviting faculty and student support and input, and a pivotal meeting with President John Hennessy and Provost John Etchemendy to discuss their proposal. She recalls other Stanford students who played important roles in the process, including Subhan Ali and Omar Shakir.
