Interview with Julie Fehring Almquist : Alumni Stories
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Julie Fehring Almquist (AB English, 1972) talks about her non-traditional high school experience in which she traveled across North America, South America, and Scandinavia as a part of the musical group Up with People and took classes through a correspondence school. She recalls life in an all-female dorm, overseas study at Stanford in Britain, the “healing experience” of living in Columbae House, and her decision to major in English. Almquist then describes how her exposure to various teaching styles at Stanford informed her own teaching career and recalls participating in a precursor to the Stanford Prison Experiment. Ending with some words of advice, she suggests that students think about what kind of people they want to be and what quality of life they want to have and prioritize their happiness.
