Anna Fisher Rivera : Estánfor: Our Voices
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Anna Fisher-Rivera (1974 BA Spanish) was a part of the second Stanford class to have at least seventy-five Latino students. In this oral history, she recalls her first memories of Stanford and living in the supportive community of Roble Hall. During her time as an undergraduate student, Fisher-Rivera was deeply involved in the Latinx community as a member of MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán) and Ballet Folklórico. She mentions her experiences with Stanford in Mexico City and working at the Bing Nursery School, noting how both opportunities allowed her to gain confidence in her abilities. She also recounts the pride she felt for her community at the Chicano graduation reception and dancing Ballet Folklórico in front of her future in-laws. Fisher-Rivera goes on to remark on how Stanford taught her to keep in mind the nation’s changing student populations throughout her teaching career. Anna Fisher-Rivera later earned both her master’s and PhD in education from the University of Arizona. She went on to become both a teacher and administrator with her first job being in the Tucson Unified School District.
