Interview with Brett Sevilla : Alumni Stories
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Brett Sevilla (BS Chemistry, 1991) discusses what it was like being of mixed ethnicity at Stanford, forming some of the first multiracial student organizations on campus, and exploring his mixed Asian American identity. He shares memories of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, his experience being part of the Stanford Band, and finding a sense of community at the Asian American Activities Center. Sevilla also talks about his decision to switch his major from music to chemistry, his career as a child and adolescent psychiatrist and medical director at a community mental health center, and the immense pressure high school students face to get into prestigious universities today.
