Expanding Opportunities

As the first in his family to attend a four-year college, Michael Tubbs, '12, is grateful for the opportunities he found at Stanford. As a student, he was already paying it forward by founding a nonprofit to help low-income students apply to college. After graduation, his commitment to public service led him back to his hometown of Stockton, California, where he won a seat on city council. Gifts to The Stanford Fund and endowed scholarship funds have a far-reaching effect, as graduates from all walks of life become leaders in their communities and their workplaces.
