Stanford will no longer host College Horizons’ summer program in 2027 as planned, according to an Oct. 30 email addressed to community members which was obtained by The Daily. The national non-profit works to expand college access for Native American, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian high school students. College Horizons’ summer program was most recently held at Stanford in 2007 and 2015, according to an Instagram post listing venues that have hosted College Horizons since 1998. Different universities, including Harvard, Yale and the University of California, Berkeley, rotate hosting the program each year. The organization is entering its 30th year with more than 4,900 alumni. Its remote program will continue on June 14-18 as scheduled, and one in-person program will be hosted at Colorado College on July 18-23, as planned. For the organization’s second in-person program, it has not yet named the new host college, with dates planned for June or July 2027.

Roses Talk Project Launches Phase II with Policy Lab on Youth Participatory Action Research | Stanford Law School

The Stanford Center for Racial Justice’s Roses Talk Project co-led by Dr. Subini Annamma and Hoang Pham is continuing its work to center marginalized students in education policy and decision-making through a collaborative partnership with the San José Unified School District (SJUSD) and Gunderson High School. Building on the project’s successful pilot, which produced a first-of-its-kind set of policy recommendations for SJUSD grounded in student experiences, it is entering its next phase with a renewed commitment to understanding how education policies and practices can better support “at-promise” students—particularly through a Stanford Law and Policy Lab focused on youth participatory action research.
