Dear Stanford community,
Love is in the air, so be sure to wear a mask. For far too long Stanford students have relied on marriage pacts and algorithms of the sort to find true love. Well, dear reader, the time has come for that practice to come to an end.
Over are the days when you would ask for love advice from friends, RAs or even a stranger. So why not take advice from the one place everyone gets a happily ever after? Disney movies are actual fairy tales and their takes on love and sacrifice can be either inspiring or gut-wrenching depending on the focus group you ask. However, we think there’s something to be learned from several films put out by the magical mouse industrial complex.
Update on undergraduate planning
Provost Persis Drell and Vice Provost for Student Affairs Susie Brubaker-Cole sent the following message to students and their families, which includes steps in the planning process for spring quarter.
Dear Stanford students,
We hope you are settling well into our winter quarter. These continue to be challenging days, as all of us work through the difficulties posed by the pandemic and the national events that the news brings us each day. We’re grateful for your fortitude, and we hope that the experience of diving back into your academic work is heartening and grounding.
We want to acknowledge one added source of stress for some of you, and that is the change in our undergraduate plans for the winter quarter that we announced on Jan. 9.
