• Sunset over the new Escondido Village Graduate Residences (EVGR). The EVGR complex was designed to meet a major need for a university in the pricey Bay Area: enabling 75 percent of graduate students to live on campus. That is, once it’s fully occupied by grad students. This fall, one building in EVGR was allocated to undergrads with special permission to live on campus, because the apartment-style units meet physical distancing requirements necessitated by the pandemic.

  • Stanford will rename campus spaces named for David Starr Jordan, the university's first president and a prominent eugenicist, while also taking actions to acknowledge and educate the community about Jordan’s contributions. The decision follows a review conducted this summer by a committee of faculty, staff, students and alumni regarding requests from psychology department faculty and the Stanford Eugenics History Project to rename Jordan Hall. University president Marc Tessier-Lavigne noted that “these actions recommended by the committee do not seek to erase Jordan’s legacy, but rather to put it in proper perspective and to recognize his history on our campus in new ways.” Jordan’s name will be removed from Jordan Hall, the home of the psychology department; Jordan Quad and Jordan Modulars; and Jordan Way in the Stanford Medical Center. Included in the efforts to more fully explain the range of Jordan’s legacy and contributions are plans for an informational plaque in Jordan Hall and educational programming. More at the link in bio.

  • “Send those prayers, or good thoughts, or whatever you believe in. Because we’re going to need it tonight.” Documentary filmmaker @austinmeyerfilms, ’14, was doing some video editing at his Santa Rosa, Calif., home on Sunday evening, September 27, when an alert blared from his phone. “We knew what that meant,” he said. Evacuate. The Glass Fire—which, as of October 2, had burned more than 60,100 acres and destroyed at least 220 homes—was close. Once the family was on the move, his instincts as a storyteller kicked in. “I got out a GoPro and started documenting it. That’s how I process my own experience and the world. That’s how I share my experience with others. When everything else is out of control in my world—which it can seem like when you’re being evacuated by Mother Nature’s fury—here is something that I can control.” Learn more in our Stories or follow @austinmeyerfilms.
