Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Julianna Lopez (AB Spanish Literature and Latin American Policy, 1982) describes being sent an application by Stanford and, with no support from her school’s guidance counselor, applying and getting in. At Stanford, Lopez recalls working in food services at Wilbur Dining. She shares about the immense lack of support she felt at Stanford and how this lack of mentorship contributed to feeling aimless. Despite this, Lopez explains how she was able to carve her own path, studying abroad in Spain and eventually choosing her major, in part due to her study abroad experience and influence from Casa Zapata. Lopez emphasizes the lack of guidance she received as a minority beyond Stanford and uses her experience to highlight the importance of bringing people in and listening to their needs.
