Last September, federal agents arrested 25-year-old Afghan citizen and U.S. legal resident Najibullah Zazi, thereby foiling what terrorism analysts call the most advanced domestic terrorism plot by al-Qaeda since the first World Trade Center bombing attempt in 1993.

Introducing… Your Tree Candidates!

by Ruthie Arbeiter

Yesterday was Dollie Day: a marathon of jubilant craziness for the Band Members and a marathon of patience for a dozen or so potential Dollies, all of whom were required to audition in front of the entire, extra-rowdy Band.  (5 of the dancers were chosen as Dollies early this morning.)

by Ruthie Arbeiter

A friend recently alerted me to the fact that Elisheva Milikowsky, leader of Israel’s movement to save Darfurian refugees, is coming to speak at Stanford.  Admittedly, I didn’t know who this woman was – but after reading the full article about her online, I knew I had to blog about her remarkable work.

Fighting Terror with Humanitarianism

by Ruthie Arbeiter

Spearheading a humanitarian non-profit might not be too unusual for a Stanford MBA – but Spirit of America,  founded by Jim Hake, MBA ’83, adds something extra. From buying school supplies to empower girls in Afghanistan to bringing clean water supplies to Iraqi villages, Spirit of America helps US military troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, and [...]
