Tell us what makes Stanford a good place for you.
A rich environment where ideas are cultivated and a life long quest for learning takes root; the "Farm" and I are meant for each other. Stanford engages an ethically diverse crop of students that embraces community and global service. My belief in social justice, intellectual curiosity, ethical leadership, creative problem solving at a community and global level are in concert with the pillars of a Stanford education. I look forward to the long library nights working with study groups, and interfacing with professors and distinguished faculty members. My professional aspiration is to contribute to the design of sustainable environmental strategies within developing countries, Peru specifically. The Wood's Institute for the Environment will provide me with the tools needed to put my passion into action. The interdisciplinary focus on public policy in relation to developing countries is a unique feature of the Institution that will augment my knowledge base. An extensive list of study and research abroad opportunities capped the list of characteristics I am seeking in a university experience. The beauty of the palm tree laden campus and the balmy tepid weather is appealing to this web foot Pacific Northwest resident. Exploring the glorious Sierra's, backpacking, a dinner of sushi in San Francisco, and finally learning to surf is the potpourri of lifestyle opportunities the surrounding community provides. I want my university experience to be academically unparalleled, filled with opportunities on a global scale, and amidst a group of diverse motivated students who are excited to learn from each other. I know I will find this and much more at the Farm.
