Interview with Ann Marie Kimball : Alumni Stories
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Ann Marie Kimball (BS Biological Sciences, 1972) explains the freedom she felt at Stanford compared to the conservative town in which she grew up. She describes living in one of the first co-ed dorms at Branner, doing research under Henry Kaplan, and serving as the first elected women to the Legislature for the Associated Stanford Students during a time of heightened political activity on campus. Kimball recalls protesting the Vietnam War, interacting with Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), and challenging the treatment of women on campus. She also shares stories of her life post-Stanford, in which her passion for public health took her around the globe, to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Rotary, and more.
