John Gardner Fellows Reunion/Retreatby Jeanne Wahl Halleck

John W. Gardner, the statesman and educator for whom the John Gardner Fellowship Program is named, personallymentored, to one degree or another, most of the Gardner Fellows until his death in February 2002. Every year since 1985,

three fellows selected from his alma maters, Stanford and UC Berkeley, have spent a postgraduate year working with amentor in a government or nonprofit agency. The fellowship launched many careers devoted to public service, and I havebeen privileged to administer the program at Stanford from its inception.

With his passing, those of us affiliated with the program became concerned: what would future classes of fellows bemissing by not knowing the man who inspired establishment of their fellowship? On March 29-30, 63 fellows gathered atthe conference center at Asilomar near Monterey to begin or renew their acquaintance with one another and to participate inshaping a new era for the John Gardner Fellowship.

The goals for the gathering and the structure of the weekend were crafted from feedback from alumni who weresurveyed with the help of Gardner Program Assistants at the Haas Center, Marjorie Alfs and Lyn Wyman ‘71. The surveyresults were consistent: the fellowship alumni wanted to get to know one another, discuss common issues, reflect on theirlife experiences and decisions, renew their commitments, and finally, to pass along to future generations of fellows thewisdom they had gained from both the fellowship and from Gardner himself. In order to accomplish all this, we designed an

Message from Nadinne Cruz

On the national landscape, therehas been an explosion of well-developed literature on

scholarship related to the full spectrumof the Haas Center’s work. There hasalso been an explosion of volunteerismand community service on collegecampuses. Both are important, but thefirst is hollow without the latter. TheHaas Center locates in neither of thosecamps. Instead, we conduct “actionresearch” –a mode of inquiry based on

teaching andlearning throughthe action ofdoing publicservice. As wehave broughtthese together,we have built anoriginal know-ledge base that

we can rightfullycall a Haas Center practice. Otherplaces, like the Swearer Center forPublic Service at Brown University andthe Lowell Bennion CommunityService Center at the University ofUtah, share with us an intentionalityabout service and learning, but theHaas Center’s emerging practice ismore comprehensive in this pedagogy.The founding Haas director, CatherineMilton, established a volunteer centerat Stanford. Tim Stanton worked todevelop faculty connections andsupport. I have developed a strongstaff-wide practice that integrates andsecures their contributions.

My focus has been first onbuilding an organization, and secondon teaching—students, faculty, andstaff. In building an organization,reaching out to the broadest possibleconstituencies, collaborating on a book[Stanton, Giles, Cruz, Service-Learning, A Movement’s PioneersReflect on Its Origins, Practice, andFuture, (1999)], and lecturing atuniversities all over the United States, Ihave striven to create what will endure,

so that others will not have to re-stateor re-start, but instead can move onfrom where we have left off.

Alumni I have spoken withrecently have reminded me how manyCalifornia organizations are headed bymy former students. In fact, service-oriented Stanford alumni are all overthe world, not just in this state. Theyare scholars, medical and legalprofessionals, and business leaders, aswell as directors of non-profitorganizations. They are involved in thebroadest range of careers, philosophies,and interests—all finding ways tocontribute to the public good. Iremember many late-night discussionswith students who felt it might be awaste of time to continue studyingwhen people in the world had suchgreat needs. My response was toencourage them to apply their gifts.One would always be able to engagewith service and societal issues nomatter what life path was chosen. Wecannot squander our students’ talentsnor potential contributions, because sovery much is needed.

My hope is that my legacyincludes not only the integration ofservice and scholarship, an incrediblystrong Haas Center staff, and theinteraction with students that hasinspired service leadership across allfields and philosophies, but also theinspiration for continued support fromalumni and friends. Because we wantto attract the widest possible spectrumof students to lives engaged in publicservice, it is also best to have asimilarly wide spectrum of interests,fields, and philosophies represented byHaas Center donors. The challengesand tensions that arise from bringingthese together is healthy. I am proudestif what is left behind is a sense that theHaas Center is truly inclusive, andsupported by everyone seeing a part ofthemselves in what it provides.

agenda that included first-handreminiscences from those who knewhim, paired discussions between earlyand more recent fellows, issue-baseddiscussions in small groups, aninspiring keynote speaker and plenty oftime for visiting.

As it turned out, I think thatJohn Gardner would have been verypleased with the results of theweekend. He told me repeatedly thatthe primary benefit of the fellowshipwas the value of the fellows to oneanother, and that the exchange of ideas,support and resources among them, justas with his White House Fellows, wasso important. The weekend alsobrought the alumni of Stanford and UC

Berkeley closer together. Haas CenterDirector Nadinne Cruz noted withpleasure that people were introducingthemselves by their class year in thefellowship, not by which universitythey attended.

Keynote speaker LeonPanetta, a congressman fromMonterey for 17 years and WhiteHouse Chief of Staff under PresidentClinton, spoke about how the process

of serving the greater good in govern-ment has changed, from his perspec-tive, over the course of his career. Hedescribed his own ideas aboutleadership and responsibility as well ashis decision to leave politics and returnhome, where he and his wife havefounded the Panetta Institute for PublicPolicy at CSU Monterey Bay. TheInstitute is a non-partisan study centerthat seeks to help our communities andcountry meet the challenges of the 21stcentury. Panetta also recalled fondly hisassociation with John Gardner thatbegan in Washington DC in the 70’s.

On Sunday, after the smallgroups reported to the whole assembly,it became clear that the Gardner alumniwished to make the reunion thebeginning of more substantive andsystematic exchange within the fellow-ship. Regional meetings, mentoring,and use of email and web site tech-nologies were proposed. Fellowsexpressed their desire to invest timeand energy in a sustainable alumnirelations plan, working in an advisorycapacity to the Haas Center andBerkeley's Institute of GovernmentalStudies. It is appropriate that as theHaas Center approaches its 20th yearanniversary in 2004-05, the GardnerFellows, who belong to one of theCenter’s oldest programs, should beinvolved in the first full-scale,program-based effort for buildingalumni relations.

For me, the reunion was anopportunity to see so many people Icare deeply about. I was with them at apivotal point during their early careers,and I liked hearing about their exploitsin the intervening years. Some of myfavorite conversations were based onpersonal milestones: marriage, child-ren, school, new jobs–just like at anyother reunion. So many have careers inlaw and business or with nonprofitagencies and foundations, and, sincethere was discussion during the week-end of encouraging more service in thepolitical arena, I especially enjoyed a

wonderful moment when RussCalleros ’94 (Political Science) an-nounced that he is running for schoolboard in Whittier, CA and that LuzHerrera ’95 (Political Science; M.A.,Sociology) is his campaign manager.Subodh Chandra ’89 (Sociology/Political Science) presented the firstcheck in support of Russ’s campaign.

During the remembrances ofGardner by Nadinne Cruz and fivealumni, all commented on his ability togo to the heart of their concern andgive “not just advice,” but “worthwhileadvice” that applied personally as wellas professionally. As Jerry Cacciotti’85 (International Relations) remem-bered, “…when he saw the fire in youreyes, then he knew that he was on tosomething with you. And that’s whenhe often times would offer direction oradvice or a suggestion.”

Most alumni from the classesof ’01 and ’02 attended, and after-wards, I wondered if they felt that theyhad gotten to know John Gardnerbetter through the reunion/retreat.Heidi Boas ’02 (Feminist Studies)echoed the response of many, writing,“Yes, I definitely did. I really appre-ciated hearing all of the stories, and itmakes me wish I knew him myself.”

Focus on Faculty/Curriculum Fund

Focus on FacultyDebra M. Satz, Associate Professorof Philosophy and, by courtesy, ofPolitical Science

Philosophy is not a Stanfordmajor immediately associatedwith an activity like community

service. Yet, when Debra Satz, chair ofthe interdisciplinary Ethics in SocietyProgram, suggested that the departmentestablish a service-learning require-ment for Ethics in Society, the ProgramSteering Committee was enthusiastic.“Our program grounds students intheoretical thought,” Satz says, “buttheory arises out of, and affects, humanexperience. Our service-learningcourse integrates reading, lectures, andpractical experience through aninternship. This allows students to testand modify theories: it thus servescognitive aims. But it also helpsstudents learn to listen, to work withothers from different backgrounds, tonegotiate conflicts, and to take risks.These are important skills that studentsdon’t get from books.”

The requirement is tied to aparticular course, Philosophy 77,Ethics of Social Decisions. Philosophymajors outside the program can takethe course as an elective. Steven Kelts(Lecturer, Political Science) taught thecourse this spring. His topic was“Encountering Culture in Theory &Practice.” Teaching Assistant NicoleSanchez (Associate Director, Ethics &Society) placed the 23 students ininternships as diverse as Young LatinoLeaders in Redwood City and the OrikiTheatre in Mountain View. Threeinterns at the theater helped with edu-cational programs and productionshonoring African culture, working withExecutive Director Chike Nwoffiah.Five interns at Young Latino Leaderswere involved with engaging teens intheir own community service program.Several other placements on campus

included the Native American CulturalCenter and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,Transgender Community ResourcesCenter.

The idea for the requirementarose during Satz’s five-year term(1997-2002) on the Haas Center’sFaculty Steering Committee (FSC).Haas provided encouragement, info-rmation, and the funds to seed the first

iteration ofthe course.

The majorproblem Satzhas encoun-tered with therequirementis staffing thecourse. Eachyear since its

inception, the course has been taughtby a different faculty member. “Noteveryone on the faculty does the kindof research that lends itself to a service-learning course. So, the pool of facultyis limited to begin with. Given theconstant change in classes and someinternships, startup and infrastructurecosts are high.” Nevertheless, Satz hasbeen pleased with the results of therequirement. “When service-learningworks, it really gives students insightand access to the dimensions of aproblem that they would not have hadotherwise. They gain professionalinsight and scholarly competencies aswell as citizenship skills.”

In 2001, Satz initiated her ownservice experience after reading aboutan innovative project initiated byauthor Earl Shorris which involvedteaching philosophy to the poor. “RobReich (Political Science) and I decidedto develop and teach this coursetogether. Milbrey McLaughlin(Professor, Education and Director,Gardner Center for Youth & TheirCommunities) helped us find a social

service agency partner, Hope House inRedwood City. This is a residentialtreatment facility for women just out ofprison, some with substance abuseproblems.

“The women were incrediblyenthusiastic. I couldn’t believe that Ihad never done this before.” Since thatexperience, Satz has encouraged achain of faculty to teach the course atHope House. Two faculty members andan undergraduate TA teach eachquarter. Faculty who have participatedin the program include: ElizabethHansot (Political Science), DavidTyack (Education), Krista Lawlor(Philosophy), Scotty McClellan (Deanof Religious Life), Suzanne Green-berg (Structured Liberal Education)and Mark Mancall (History).

Research Collaboration

Funding has been renewed for2003-04 for the PublicScholarship Initiative (PSI),

administered by Kent Koth at the HaasCenter. The Office of the Vice Provostfor Undergraduate Education (VPUE)provides the funds to connect under-graduates with research opportunitiesunder faculty direction that directlybenefit communities.

Todd Davies (SymbolicSystems Program), working withcolleagues Tom Wasow and IvanSaag, is interested in using the Internetfor strengtheningdemocracy at thegrassroots level, andhas done researchthat includes aca-demic experimentsin social decision-making. The inclu-sion of students inhis work in East PaloAlto in 2002-03 hasenabled him to workdirectly with com-munity agencies andthe people they serve.

“We are creating a web site foronline meetings that addresses some ofthe problems faced by EPA in planningfor its future,” Davies says. StudentsBenjamin Sywulka ‘03 (SymbolicSystems) and Roma Jhaveri ‘03(Computer Science, M.A. ManagementScience and Engineering), as well asRandy Saffold of Plugged In, a non-profit organization in East Palo Alto,do “most of the work” on the projects.They design and code web sites,conduct interviews and surveys, set upmeetings, write letters and reports,produce outreach flyers, analyze data,and present work publicly. Daviesconnects the students with community

organizations, and helps and adviseswith all these tasks.

Davies praises PSI. “Besidesbeing personally rewarding becauseI’m doing something that may benefitthis or other communities, this projectgrounds me in reality for pursuing myresearch.”

For Ben Sywulka, PSI supportprovided a job that was a “huge helpfinancially,” but just as important werethe research skills he developed. “Ifound a venue to pursue my passion:finding out how technology can impactunder-served communities.

Kudos/Civic Engagement Week

Civic Engagement

Week ’03by Meaghan Banks ’04

Last summer, Public ServiceAdvising Fellow StephenChan ’04 (Public Policy) was

selected by Jackie Schmidt-Posnerand Cathy Avila to attend the CampusCompact National Summit. CampusCompact, a national coalition of morethan 860 college and universitypresidents that works to promotecommunity service and developcitizenship skills and values oncampuses, was sponsoring the “RaiseYour Voice: StudentAction for Change” Cam-paign. Chan agreed toparticipate as one of tenstudents who would helpplan the Campaign.

At Stanford, Chanorganized and facili-tated Civic EngagementWeek (CEW), February17-21. As a part of thecampaign, CEW was an effort toempower Stanford students to “beginconversations, address issues, andcreate solutions for the challengesfacing our demo-cracy.” Chancredits his exper-ience as an AdvisingFellow with givinghim a “generalunderstanding of thecampus community.Being able to bounce ideas off suchsupportive staff members, those whoreally understood the work of buildingthe civically-engaged campus, wascrucial to me in carrying out CEW. Icannot emphasize how important thesupport of Cathy Avila was to thedevelopment of my leadership skillsand of the week.”

The first event of CEW,“Understanding our Institution: The

President Speaks,” featured StanfordPresident John Hennessy and 2001-02ASSU President Matt Brewer and wasmoderated by Haas Director NadinneCruz. Cruz explained, “Not knowingwhat a Stanford or ASSU president canor cannot do by simple exercise of hisor her authority means that expec-tations can bring disappointment. Thisdialogue hopefully clarified some ofthese issues.”

A panel entitled, “Can WeMake a Difference?: a Panel ofPerspectives” featured Haas CentennialProfessor in Public Service Al Cam-arillo and Faculty Steering Committee

member Professor LuisFraga. The panel’spurpose was to “afford anopportunity for facultyand students to discusssome issues fundamentalto …the welfare of ourlocal communities,” saidCamarillo. “We oftendon’t talk enough aboutwhat it means to be acitizen participant in

increase engage-ment] is for studentsto take moreresponsibility toengage in discus-sions of currentissues in theirprivate moments. It

would be nice if this became part of theaccepted and traditional culture.”

Other events included pro-grams on affirmative action, AmnestyInternational's public signing ofpetitions protesting human rightsabuses, guided tours to inform studentsabout issues in East Palo Alto, and ascreening of the classic political film“Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.”

Summer Fellowships - Behind the Scenes

This year, from February to May,the 104 dedicated members ofthe Haas Center’s Fellowship

Selection Committees met to considerhundreds of applications forfellowships. “Each program has veryspecific criteria for selection,” saysKaryn Bechtel, Haas FellowshipProgram Coordinator, “like the need forthe project and potential impact on thecommunity, the feasibility of theproject or work plan, the student’srelevant experience, and the value ofthe project for the student. There areadditional considerations forinternational or research-orientedprojects. It is a very complex andinteresting process.”

Bechtel achieved a diverse,balanced constitution for thecommittees. They consisted of Stanfordstudents (former fellows or Stanford inGovernment coordinators), alumni,community volunteers, faculty andstaff. Bechtel and other Haas Centerstaff serving as committee chairsprepared committee members throughdiscussions of areas of possible bias,criteria for selection, and the value ofexploring careers in public service withthe practical experience provided by asummer fellowship.

There are two types offellowships. For “placements,” studentsserve as interns under a mentor in anonprofit or government agency. For“projects,” students work with acommunity partner to develop acollaborative plan of action to address

an identified community need. Theirproject design must be carefullyprepared and detailed, includingbudgetary considerations, and theymust be able to accomplish enough ina summer to make a lasting impact onthe benefiting constituency. For theseprojects, students often receivestrategic advising from Haas staff orStanford faculty.

Thanks to all the selectioncommittee volunteers! Committeevolunteers learn from the rigorousprocess and enjoy working with otherswith similar values and goals. Here aresome of the comments made by thisyear’s selection committee volunteers:

Prof. David B. Abernethy (PoliticalScience, emeritus). Committee:African Service Fellowship

To sit on a selectioncommittee for a Haas Center servicefellowship is to meet some ofStanford’s–indeed, some of ourcountry’s–finest young people. Youdon’t have to wander around campusto seek them out. Instead, they self-select and line up at the door asking tobe interviewed. Tossing them toughinterview questions is emotionally aswell as intellectually gratifying: youget to ask very intelligent people abouttheir idealism, and idealistic peopleabout how intelligent (i.e. informedand realistic) their plans are. Fel-lowship recipients are awardedopportunities to have life-changingexperiences. Upon their return to

campus, they frequently approach theirstudies and extra-curricular activitieswith greater seriousness and a strongersense of direction than before they left.

The return on the investment insuch young people is hard to measure.But I suspect it must be at least as highas any alternative way to deploy moneyfor worthwhile purposes.

Dandre DeSandies (AssociateDirector, Undergraduate Advising).Committee: Haas Summer Fellowships

I really enjoyed you all andgetting to read some incredible ideas. Youactually expanded my advising repertoireas I am certain to remember to pushservice-learning or application tofellowships you sponsor in the future.

Julia Hartung ‘82 (Major GiftsOfficer, Office of Development).Committees: Sand Hill, CFSV Gardner& Tom Ford Fellowships inPhilanthropy

I inherited my spot on theinterview committee for the Tom Fordand Sand Hill Fellowships from myformer colleague in the Office ofDevelopment, Joel Getz. Little did Iknow when Joel told me he wassuggesting me to be his replacementhow rewarding and inspiring theexperience would be. As a graduate ofStanford, a long-time freshman advisor(10 years), and a member of theuniversity staff for same length of time,I thought I had gotten used to howimpressive Stanford students are. Butmy interviews with these kidsabsolutely blew me away.

Summer Fellowships - Behind the Scenes

The fellowships I was part ofwere offered to students interested ingoing into the “field of philanthropy,”a term that didn’t even exist 20 yearsago when I was graduating. Nowstudents who want to make adifference see philanthropy, i.e. goingto work for a private foundation, as aviable option and an importantexperience for them to have regardlessof what they end up doing. It wasincredibly hard to make the finalselections out of such an impressivefield of candidates. Meeting idealisticstudents whose dreams for a betterworld are grounded in impressively

rich life experiences giventheir young ages gives megreat hope for the future. Itis a privilege for me to beassociated with theFellowship Program andwith the Haas Center.

Christy Nichols ’85(Director, Arts for Youth)Committee: Arts for YouthFellowship

Haas directors andstudents conduct programs

with exceptional planningand insight. As Director ofArts for Youth (AFY), I

collaborate with them in providingstudent fellowships. AFY arranges,funds, and mentors Stanford studentopportunities with art and musiceducation organizations. We selectenthusiastic, talented applicants whodemonstrate experience and passion forthis intersection of public service,education, and the arts. Our partner artsgroups appreciate the fellows’participation and ideas that enhancetheir work for children. I developedAFY to assist bright minds in becomingarts education leaders, whileimmediately serving public needs.

Fellowship recipientsassimilate analytical skills they learnon campus, and apply them toadditional intellectual and personalgoals. For example, a student teacherworks in a community school,developing curriculum connecting artwith other subjects and curatingstudent exhibits. Fellows return toStanford prepared to share their exper-iences in forums with future potentialfellows. Observing the benefits to allparticipants is amazingly rewarding!

Bill Somerville (President,Philanthropic Ventures Foundation)

Upon the death of Tom Ford,former Haas National Advisory Boardchair, I helped his widow, Susan Ford,a fellow NAB member, initiate andcreate the Sand Hill and Tom FordFellowship Programs in his memory.These programs represent a seriouseffort to bring young people intophilanthropy. We have gone fromurging foundations to take a fellow towhere foundations are now makingrequests for a fellow. In addition, theprograms have been very successful inthat the students, although being placedfor a fixed period, are often offeredfull-time jobs by the host foundations.

I stay involved with the twoprograms by helping to place thestudents, meeting with them duringtheir fellowships, and giving oversightto the operations.

These two programs haveestablished a momentum for us tocome up with other ideas to bringyoung people into philanthropy, suchas Community Foundation SiliconValley president Peter Hero's idea forthe CFSV John Gardner Fellowship inPhilanthropy. Initiated following Gard-ner’s death in 2001, this fellow-shipprovides a summer internship to anundergraduate student with the CFSV.

2002-03 Donald A. Strauss Fellow2003 John Gardner Fellow

Public Service Student Advisory Board

The dilapidated bus I hadboarded in Oaxaca City wasmoving about as quickly as the

drooping corn outside the window wasgrowing. Stuck in traffic along thedusty highway to Tlacolula, Irealized I would miss my meet-ing with State health officials. Anhour later we had crept up to theturn-off for the town ofMacuilxochitl where we sawremnants of a blockade built toprotest the expropriation of thecommunity’s farmland for atourist highway. The day before,some of these same indignantfaces holding protest signs hadbeen sitting with me in front oftheir boarded-up health posttalking about pregnancy andpolitics, explaining to me whybirth defects are caused not just bybiology, but by changes in the Mexicanconstitution, NAFTA, governmentcorruption, and deeply entrenchedsocietal norms that marginalize indig-enous women. This conversation tookplace during a workshop I facilitated inwhich I asked participants to examinehealth problems in their community byasking why they think the problemsexist. Once a causal link was posited, Iwould again ask “why” until a wholechain of causal factors unfolded.

When I do this exercise withAmerican students, they are struck bythe complex web of causes revealedthrough the question and answerprocess. Oaxacans, however, alreadyknew that trade agreements, population

pressure, agricultural productivity,environmental degradation, andcultural disintegration are intertwinedphenomena affecting their community.

Since 1999, when I beganworking in Oaxaca with Amigos de lasAméricas, I have become increasinglyaware of the need to view developmentissues in context. In the summer of2000, a fellow student and I returned toOaxaca and conducted a pilot study onthe knowledge and use of folic acid, avitamin (B9) that helps prevent neuraltube birth defects. We interviewedwomen and health providers, and usedthe results to publish an article in a

widely circulated Oaxacan newspaper.After discussing the study withOaxacan health officials, we wereinvited to continue our work. I wantedto address the issue of folic aciddeficiency through the lens of socialinjustices. Therefore, I co-founded anorganization called Puente a la SaludComunitaria, or Bridge to CommunityHealth, to foster community develop-ment and gender equality by enablingwomen to act as health advocates andby establishing relationships amongcommunities, grassroots organizations,and institutions.

With support from the HaasSummer Fellowships program, Itraveled again to Mexico in 2001 and2002, where Puente trained Amigosvolunteers to promote inclusion of folic

acid in the diet as well as the cultiva-tion of amaranth, a staple crop of theAztecs. Amaranth had almost disap-peared after it was outlawed by theSpanish conquistadores, who regardedit as a link to indigenous religions, asource of nutrition for warriors, and aneconomic asset. Because amaranth isrich in high-quality protein, amongother nutrients, my work re-introduc-ing amaranth in rural communities–teaching women to grow, harvest, andcook with the grain and its leaves–notonly increases intake of folic acid, butalso helps prevent other prevalenthealth problems related to malnutri-

tion. Since 2001, Puente hasfacilitated more than 70 work-shops with over 3,000 womenregarding the history, economicpotential, nutritional importance,preparation, and cultivation ofamaranth in 28 communities. Wedistributed amaranth seeds towomen who attended workshops,conducted 78 cooking demon-strations, and planted 246amaranth gardens. Puente alsocreated a sustainable network oflocal organizations, and initiated

a program to market amaranth inOaxaca, increasing its viability as

an economic resource for poor farmers.Also, because of Puente, the healthsector is now promoting amaranththroughout the state.

Through this experience I havelearned that my privilege as an edu-cated citizen of a developed nationdoes not make me more informed thanindigenous women about the causes ofinjustice. A Stanford education does,however, allow me access to institu-tions that affect the people of Oaxaca.Thus, beginning with my postgraduateyear as a 2003 John Gardner Fellow, Ihope to leverage this privilege to workon policy in the U.S. that will addressinjustices on both sides of the border.

Morgridge Receives Outstanding Achievement Award

Tashia Morgridge, a member of the Haas Center’s National Advisory Board since 1996, has received aStanford Associates 2003 Outstanding Achievement Award. The award is given annually by the Board of

Governors of the Stanford Associates to recognize volunteers who have contributed significant service to theuniversity. Tashia’s support of the Education and Youth Development Fellowship created a new service-learningopportunity for Stanford students who provide leadership for the East Palo Alto Stanford Academy and StanfordUpward Bound. Tashia was also nominated for her wise and caring leadership in the setting of program goals on theNational Advisory Board, and for the tremendous generosity with which she and her husband, John Morgridge ('57,MBA) have engaged in educational philanthropy to benefit a wide range of Stanford programs. In the words ofNadinne Cruz, “Tashia is a model of the knowledgeable, engaged donor…consistently willing to invest in the work ofthe Haas Center without contingency...[yet] always challenging us to be reflective, self-aware and analytical in thesetting of program goals to help us achieve our purpose.”

Visiting Mentor Programby Meaghan Banks ’04

Twice each year, the VisitingMentor Program bringsdistinguished practitioners of

public service, many of whom arealumni, to campus to meet withstudents, faculty, and staff. Mentorsdiscuss their own commitments to andexperiences in public service, and offercounsel to aspiring students. This year,Service-Learning Program CoordinatorKent Koth and student coordinatorJessica Oliva ’04 (History) broughttwo mentors, Rev. Darrel Armstrong’91 (Public Policy), a religious leaderand faith-based organizer, and SunneWright McPeak, President and CEOof the Bay Area Council.

Armstrong learned to focus hisconcerns with youth and children whileworking on the staff of the UpwardBound program (1993-1995). He laterearned an M.A. in Divinity fromPrinceton Theological Seminary.While serving as the pastor of theShiloh Baptist Church in Trenton, NewJersey, Armstrong founded the NationalAssociation of Foster Children, Inc.,which works to raise awareness aboutthe plight of America’s abused,abandoned and neglected children, and

trains older foster youth in life skills.He chairs both the Association and theCapitol Corridor Development Corp-oration, a faith-based organization thatfocuses on human transformation,community development, and eco-nomic empowerment. He is also amember of the New Jersey SupremeCourt Committee on MinorityConcerns.

Armstrong encouragedstudents to take the initiative when theysee a need and modeled that philo-sophy with stories from his ownexperience. Visiting in November,2002, he spoke to students of the

Stanford Leaders for Public Serviceprogram; Public Scholarship Initiative;Black Community Services Center;Lantana, the public service themeresidence; and to high school seniors inthe Upward Bound program on topicssuch as how to fit public service intodaily life regardless of career path, andhow his academic experienceconnected with his public serviceinterests. Armstrong also participatedin Ethics at Noon, discussing PresidentBush’s Faith-Based Initiative andwhether government money should begiven to religious institutions.

Through the Bay AreaCouncil, Sunne McPeak leads severalmajor regional initiatives that addressissues of transportation, housing,sustainable economic development,water policy, telecommunicationsinfrastructure, and education andworkforce preparation. She is a formermember of the Contra Costa CountyBoard of Supervisors, where shebecame known as a leader onCalifornia state water policy.

Letter from an Alumnaby Marlene Sakaue

(M.A., ’82, East Asian Studies)

Editor’s note: The Haas Center hostedMarlene Sakaue, a career U.S.Department of State Foreign ServiceOfficer, as a “Visiting Diplomat” fromFebruary 3-24, 2003.

Having read about Haas’sprograms for several years, Ireturned to Stanford to obtain

a first-hand understanding of theCenter’s and, more broadly,Stanford’s role in fosteringpublic service careers. Throughmeetings across campus withstudents, administrators, faculty,and program coordinators, Iwanted to explore how thisgeneration of students isviewing public service andinternational careers and, inparticular, how the ForeignService might fit into students’post-Stanford plans.

My stay on campus allowedme to take part in a variety of HaasCenter staff discussions and to attendseveral courses. I learned about newapproaches to promoting publicservice, such as the Stanford Leadersfor Public Service program andservice-learning courses. I wasimpressed with students’ broadengagement in community service,public service internships, andinternational programs. Across manyacademic disciplines, students showedkeen interest in foreign affairs andpublic policy and planned to pursuetheir interests through wide-rangingcareer options. I was interested instudents’ comments that they weredrawn to nongovernmentalorganizations because these entitieswould offer the best opportunities toaddress issues of concern directly andeffectively. I enjoyed talking to

students about State Departmentcareers. A number of students hadtaken the Foreign Service writtenexamination or were planning to do soin April. Others were preparing for thesecond step, the oral assessment, orwere waiting to enter the ForeignService.

Many students remarked,however, that gaining an understandingof Foreign Service work was difficultunless one had met a member of theForeign Service or done a StateDepartment internship. I was surprised

when some students told me that, intheir view, Foreign Service work wasnot public service. Meetings withstudents thus offered opportunities toexplain the five Foreign ServiceGeneralist career tracks (ConsularAffairs, Economic Affairs,Management Affairs, Political Affairs,and Public Diplomacy), ForeignService Specialist careers, as well asCivil Service careers. Students hadmany questions about what the firstfive years of Foreign Service workmight entail, what kinds of trainingpeople might receive, and how peoplemanage frequent moves and otherlifestyle-related issues. Students alsoshowed broad interest in the StateDepartment’s Student Programs. Manyasked about the application process forinternships in Washington and at U.S.Embassies and Consulates abroad. Ialso shared information about the

Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairsand Graduate Foreign AffairsFellowship Programs with students,faculty, and program coordinators.Information about these programs, aswell as career opportunities, isavailable on the State Department’sweb site (see photo caption).

My time on campus flew by alltoo quickly. I deeply appreciated thewarm hospitality that Nadinne Cruz,Suzanne Abel, and the entire HaasCenter staff extended to me, andtalking with faculty members and

administrators was wonderful.Finally, it was great to meet somany students – their energyand enthusiasm were terrific. Ilook forward to my next visit toStanford.

Recent Stanford graduates whohave joined the Foreign Serviceinclude: Katharine Read ’01(International Relations; ’01,A.M., Sociology); Ken Reiman’02 (M.A., East Asian Studies);

and Lyra Chidoni ’02 (MedievalStudies/German; ’03, M.A., GermanStudies).
