Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In this oral history, Andrea Jones (AB Human Biology, 1987) describes her experiences as a Stanford undergraduate, including the “comfortable sense of community” at Ujamaa and her participation in black organizations such as Black Pre-med, the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), and her sorority, Delta Sigma Theta. Jones also mentions her involvement with Rejoice in Jesus, the Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band, and The Stanford Daily and recalls her experience as a recruiting hostess for the football team, during which she formed friendships with several athletes, including Cory Booker. Jones ruminates about her experience with mentors and urges current students to “drink from the firehose” of opportunities at Stanford.
