The “purpose” of Stanford
Surfing around the web, or the blogosphere in particular, one is likely to find mixed opinion about Stanford University. For one year, I’ve been obsessed with the idea of living and studying there, so I’m more on the side of Stanford’s admirers than the cynics.
My Google Alert for Stanford threw up the following gem of a blog post today, written by a Stanford GSB student from an ethnic minority. I found it as insightful as it was touching. An excerpt,
“Because of this place, I will graduate with a changed mind, a changed perspective and a changed heart. I will take that into my workplace, into my relationships and into my community. Because of my fellow classmates and those who came to Stanford before us, I can change the world around me. I used to think the GSB motto, “Change Lives, Change Organizations, Change the World,” was lofty at best and unattainable at worst.
I was wrong. “
