‘Stanford Magazine’ column

Stanford is launching its first school in more than 70 years.

True to its roots, Stanford seeks to strengthen community bonds.

Our success depends on increasing access, fostering openness and serving society.

Rejecting complacency, the Stanford community imagines our future.

In my column in the September/October issue of Stanford Magazine, I focus on a key priority for Stanford: advancing access and affordability for our students. True to the spirit of our founding, Stanford has one of the most comprehensive undergraduate financial aid programs in higher education. But there’s more to be done.

Being true to the best we know as leaders.

The importance of fundamental and applied research.

Setting our sights on new and greater heights.

A narrow focus doesn't serve students, or Stanford, well.

Driven by our mission, characterized by the courage to change.
