Global positioning systems and gene splicing, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and The Grapes of Wrath, the football huddle and the T-formation, Yahoo! and Google—all bear the mark of a Stanford individual. At Stanford, you will fi nd the entire universe of what humankind knows and is endeavoring to know. From your fi rst days on campus, this universe will be yours to explore, yours to discover. Stanford will ask that intellectual curiosity be your compass, that excellence be your true north. Along the way, you will have the guidance of extraordinary faculty mentors who are at the forefront of advancing the world’s understanding of subjects ranging from geophysics to history to bioscience to musical composition. You will also have the friendship of fellow students who will awe and inspire you as much for their humanity as for their talents. As you pursue the questions that interest you most, your mentors and friends will give you the freedom to risk temporary failure as you push yourself both intellectually and personally—along with the freedom and encouragement to pursue what you love. Your reward will be the exhilaration of discovery—the exhilaration of true excellence. – Courtesy of Stanford University 2 • WWWW.GOSTANFORD.COMWW.GOSTANFORD.COM 22009-10009-10 SSTANFORDTANFORD MMEN’SEN’S GGOLFOLF GGUIDEUIDE STANFORD’S CURRENT COMMUNITY OF SCHOLARS INCLUDES • 16 Nobel laureates • 4 Pulitzer Prize winners • 23 MacArthur Fellows • 19 recipients of the National Medal of Science • 2 National Medal of Technology recipients • 244 members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences • 136 members of the National Academy of Sciences • 83 National Academy of Engineering members • 27 members of the National Academy of Education • 46 American Philosophical Society members • 8 Wolf Foundation Prize winners • 6 winners of the Koret Foundation Prize • 3 Presidential Medal of Freedom winners U.S. News and World Report 2010 Top 10 National Universities 1.
