A deep sense of place

From the beginning, Stanford, along with the neighboring communities it joined, has grown and developed from rural roots.

With arresting images, another Silicon Valley emerges: one segregated by race, class, and nationality in complex and contradictory ways. 

Seeing Silicon Valley: To outsiders, Silicon Valley glitters with the promise of extraordinary wealth and innovation. But in this exhibit with selected photos by Mary Beth Meehan, who collaborated with Stanford professor Fred Turner, an often-overlooked side of Silicon Valley unfolds: the people who are struggling to make ends meet in a region known as the center of technological innovation. On view at Hohbach Hall.
