Alvarez | Taking tidbits, keeping Stanford weird and other lessons

Before he made national headlines, I met Will Curry. At least, I think I did. I didn’t realize it at the time, but once the name “Will Curry” was all anybody could talk about, I heard from friends that he was definitelywith us one night at FloMo.To be honest, I’m still not sure. I mean it makes sense. There were always a few new faces each week. I can picture it, but I also can’t.
Liu | Walk in a blank page, take away a Daily world

3 weeks ago | stanforddaily.com | Linda Liu

How I got started at The Daily sounds like a joke. After applying to join my freshman fall, I was overwhelmed by the maze of Slack channels and onboarding to-do items that I simply ghosted. But by freshman winter, desperate to return to writing, a hobby that had accompanied me through my teens, I made some impromptu submissions to The Daily via email. From there, I fell in love with reporting on the arts, and my passion never subsided.
Chen | Disturbing the universe

It took me a long time to write this sentence, because I had decided that I had to write the best senior column of all time. Naturally, that made it impossible to write anything at all for about a month. But in the spirit of one of my favorite senior columns (written by Grace Carroll, a former editor of mine at The Daily), I want to first make a case for what is truly the greatest senior column of all time: “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T.S. Eliot.
Dear Boomer: Peacemakers

4 weeks ago | stanforddaily.com | Helen Hudson

Fifty years ago, I rode my Kawasaki from Portola Valley onto campus, usually squeaking into class just on time. While much has changed since then, one thing has remained constant: our humanness. We still search for meaning and need connection. We still have dreams and we still screw up. In the last 50 years, as I’ve changed careers and locations, I’ve never stopped appreciating and observing my fellow companions. So, “Ask Boomer” anything. Surprise me. Life is short. Let’s add on to it.

Line dancing brings “a taste of rural life” to Stanford

1 month ago | stanforddaily.com | George Porteous

“Left stomp, right stomp, grapevine, turn!” Izabella Smolnicka-Dos Santos ’26 called out, microphone in hand. “Keep going!” Dozens of students followed her lead as they practiced each dance step across the Old Union patio, standing alongside each other in rows. When Smolnicka-Dos Santos played “A Bar Song (Tispy)” by Shaboozey over a speaker, the dancers set their moves to music, stomping their feet and swiveling in the air.
Nine days into hunger strike, students criticize University’s 'nonresponse'

1 month ago | stanforddaily.com | Caroline Chen

More than 20 students and faculty are participating in a hunger strike that has been ongoing since May 12, aiming to bring attention to the risk of famine in Gaza after a 70-day Israeli blockade of humanitarian aid. On Tuesday, Vice Provost of Student Affairs (VPSA) Michele Rasmussen declined to meet with strike participants in an email sent on behalf of University president Jonathan Levin ’94 and Provost Jenny Martinez.
Faces of the fight to save Stanford's communal dorms

1 month ago | stanforddaily.com | Rani Chor

As Stanford administration moved to remove the co-ops Synergy and Terra, students pushed back through organizing, grieving and negotiating to hold onto homes built over decades of intentional living. In the midst of this resistance, a reporter and photographer from The Stanford Daily visited the communal homes facing removal, spending time with residents in their kitchens, backyards and living rooms — the spaces where day-to-day life and protest quietly coexist.
Nurses’ union secures contract improvements with Stanford hospitals

1 month ago | stanforddaily.com | Kelly Wang

Stanford nurses secured new contract improvements last month following negotiations between hospital administrators and the Committee for Recognition of Nursing Achievement (CRONA). Founded in 1966, CRONA is a labor union that represents registered nurses at Stanford Health Care (SHC) and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH) campuses across the Bay Area. Announced on April 6 and scheduled to expire in three years, the new agreement was approved, with 75% of CRONA members voting in support.
