Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Phillip Pompa graduated from Stanford in 1978 with his Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and his MBA in 1982. In his interview, he describes how important it was for him to be accepted into Stanford and how memorable his first day on campus was. Pompa shares his thoughts on being a Latino in engineering in the 1970s, but also how he felt most of his challenges came from the need to work harder than others. He explains his shift from electrical engineering to business, as well as a shift from making connections to the Latinx community to focusing on his family. He thanks all his mentors who told him everything would be okay and shares that same advice to Stanford students today.
