Send STANFORD magazine your dorm room memories.

Cold War, Warm Welcome
Just three months before the Cuban Missile Crisis, Soviet and U.S. athletes came together in Stanford Stadium for a track meet that demonstrated the true nature of sportsmanship. BY gary cavalli

'This Is Who I Am'
A blind student gets an A+ in a surgery course. A dyslexic student learns a foreign language. They may require extra time and technology, but students with disabilities don't let anything get in the way of their educations. BY diane rogers
