And away we go....

Last night there was a lovely welcome reception in the courtyard of the Arrillaga Alumni Center. We had time to mingle with Stanford Admissions Counselors. Rick Shaw, the Dean of Admissions, spoke with our group about the importance of supporting you, our students. Professor of History, Al Camarillo, shared stories of current and former students. Many were first generation college students. Listening to both speakers, it is clear that Stanford has many supports in place to uphold students, to give them the support necessary to be successful. Through a diversified faculty and staff, students services, residential advising and so much more, students have many places to turn for help. 

I'm looking forward to today when we'll hear from students and work with admissions counselors. Stay tuned...
