Tony Blair, Daniel Ek, E-40
Submitted by: Olivia Hu ‘12
Only at Stanford do you get to see former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, and West Coast rapper E-40 all within a 7-day time span. Only at Stanford can my eclectic interests in both rap, economic development, and sustainable business models be appreciated. There is no glass ceiling here. There is no fourth wall between you and celebrities or politicians or millionaire CEO’s. This is what Stanford is to me. It is a world of all kinds of possibilities, where many people believe to be impossible. It is a world of start-ups that become billion dollar acquisitions. It is a world of students who have the opportunity to have dinner with world leaders and respected academics who change and question the foundation of theories. It is a world where new research discoveries and new business ideas abound. Many people draw comparisons between Stanford’s campus and Disney theme parks. To me, more than just the physical infrastructure, Stanford is where dreams come true.

Stanford Powwow 2012
I hugely enjoyed spending this afternoon at the 41st anual Stanford Powwow, which is held every Mother’s Day Weekend in the Eucalyptus Grove on Stanford campus.

Indira Choudhury, Student Services Specialist at ICME
Submitted by: Anonymous
Like many international students, I run into trouble every now and then, both academically and socially. I often need advice and guidance desperately.
And I couldn’t be more fortunate that Indira is our student services specialist at the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME). Whenever I have a question, an enquiry, or a concern, she is always there for me. She is quick at responding to emails, willing to set up personal meetings, and more than often she goes an extra mile to offer help and suggestion beyond her duty.
You can tell that she takes a genuine interest in every student, and she will do all she can to help students conquer the difficulties and achieve their aspirations.
Specialized service for every student, Indira truly deserve the title “Student Services Specialist”.
Her lasting patience, kindness and wisdom have entirely changed my Stanford experience, and, like many other lucky students at her service,I thank her whole-heartedly.
