Dear GSE Alumni,

The weather is warming up, and life on the Farm is buzzing with activity. We are making our way through Spring Quarter, and the anticipation of summer is growing. We're excited to bring you the latest news from the GSE and campus.

In this edition, we start with a spotlight on the Cubberley Lecture series featuring Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry. Garmus discussed the importance of gender equity and inclusivity in education. We also share research on the concerning increase in school segregation. You'll read about Kathy Ho, MA '94, who teaches at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford (LPCH), providing education to critically ill children. Code in Place, a program facilitating large-scale learning, is making waves and reaching students globally. Additionally, we highlight Stanford's Introduction to Bioengineering course, offering opportunities for low-income students to earn Stanford credits. Scroll through the photo gallery of our recent Stanford GSE reception at AERA in Philadelphia. It was great to see so many alums, faculty, and students there. Lastly, enjoy a video showcasing various maker spaces across Stanford's campus, including our own GSE Makery space.

Thank you for being part of our alumni community. We appreciate your ongoing support and look forward to sharing more updates with you.

Warm regards,

I-Han
