- Abstract
- In this oral history, Gregory Billings (AB Economics, 1988) talks about his experiences at Stanford, naming some of the organizations in which he participated and recalling how Michael J. Boskin’s introductory economics course inspired him to switch his major from engineering to economics. He describes some of the hardships he faced and the financial support he received from the university. He concludes by advising current students to hold on to their motivation and passion and to make use of Stanford’s career resources. After Stanford, Gregory Billings worked in a government agency before earning his MBA from the University of Michigan. Today, he consults for various organizations in Washington, DC, and is an active member of his local Stanford alumni group.
