Decoding Cyber Threats5 School of Education, Cubberley Auditorium
Amy Zegart, Co-Director of the Center for International Security and Cooperation; Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution; and Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International StudiesCyber threats are growing more prevalent and scary, from Russian hacking in the U.S. presidential election to the massive theft of corporate intellectual property to the growing danger of cyber acts of mass disruption. How can policymakers and the rest of us make sense of this evolving landscape? This class will explore what we should know, what we do know, and what we don’t know about digital dangers to American national security.
Emotional Health and Well-Being of Stanford Students7 Hewlett Teaching Center, Rm. 200
Carole Pertofsky, Director of Wellness and Health Promotion Services at Vaden Health CenterFred Luskin, PhD, Director of Stanford Forgiveness Projects; Senior Consultant of Wellness and Health Promotion at Vaden Health CenterDespite the amazing opportunities offered at Stanford, emotional issues such as stress, anxiety and depression are cited by students as a leading impediment to their academic success. In this session, you will be introduced to the evidence-based knowledge and skills that lead to well-being, emotional health and happiness. The speakers will also address the implications for parenting your student so that they accomplish their goals with a strong sense of purpose.
Getting (More of) What You Want: Improving Negotiation Outcomes One Deal at a Time4 Zambrano Hall, Cemex Auditorium
Margaret A. Neale, Adams Distinguished Professor of ManagementEveryone negotiates. But, there is more to negotiating than asserting a position, issuing ultimatums, declaring a winner (and, thus, a loser), or simply acquiescing to a counterpart’s demands. Negotiation is so much more. It is influence. There is no command and control in a negotiation. In this talk, Professor Neale will invite you to reframe negotiation from a battle to a collaborative problem solving experience, helping you to leverage the insights from empirical research to get (more of) what you want in your negotiations.
A New Cold War? Explaining Russia’s New Confrontation with the West8 Lathrop Library, Bishop Auditorium
Michael McFaul, Director and Senior Fellow of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies; Professor of Political Science; Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution; Former U.S. Ambassador to RussiaU.S.-Russia relations have reached one of their lowest points since the end of the Cold War. Russia’s intervention in Ukraine and Syria, public distrust, and the West’s response in the form of sanctions and NATO’s reconsidered stance toward Russia are all signs of a growing rift in bilateral relations. This talk examines potential explanations for recent tensions and considers the implications of deteriorating relations for U.S. policy.
Session II | 1:00—2:00 PM
10 Steps to Meaningful Work: What You and Your Student Need to Know4 Zambrano Hall, Cemex Auditorium

How can students figure out what meaningful work means to them, and take the steps necessary to find it? This interactive session with a panel of career educators, students, and alumni will highlight the exploration and employment activities that should be on every student’s list.
Constitutional Rights of Immigrants: A Look at Immigration Detention8 Lathrop Library, Bishop Auditorium
Jayashri Srikantiah, Professor of Law and Director, Immigrants’ Rights Clinic, Stanford Law SchoolOn any given day, approximately 34,000 immigrants are detained while their deportation cases are pending. Where are they detained, and what are the conditions that they face? What are their chances of winning their cases in immigration court? This class will provide an overview of the immigration system and take a deep look at the legal and constitutional dimensions of the government’s immigration detention practices.
Drug Dealer, MD: How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked, and Why It’s So Hard to Stop7 Hewlett Teaching Center, Rm. 200
Anna Lembke, MD, Chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis ClinicIn her recent book, Drug Dealer, MD, Dr. Anna Lembke uncovers the unseen forces driving opioid addiction nationwide. Combining case studies from her own practice with vital statistics drawn from public policy, cultural anthropology, and neuroscience, she explores the complex relationship between doctors and patients, the science of addiction, and the barriers to successfully addressing drug dependence and addiction. Even when addiction is recognized by doctors and their patients, she argues, many doctors don’t know how to treat it, connections to treatment are lacking, and insurance companies won’t pay for rehab.
From Gutenberg to Zuckerberg: Humanities Research in the Digital Age6 Bldg. 420/Jordan Hall, Rm. 040
Dan Edelstein, William H. Bonsall Professor of French and, by courtesy, Professor of HistoryWhile humanists still spend much of their time with their noses in books or in dusty archives, many of our primary sources are now available in digital form as well. Not only does this format facilitate access, but it also offers new possibilities for studying sources. This talk will discuss some of the computational methods for pursuing humanistic research in the digital age.
The Frontiers of Earth Science: Passion with Purpose5 School of Education, Cubberley Auditorium
Moderator: Margot Gerritsen, Associate Professor of Energy Resources Engineering; Director of the Institute for Computational & Mathematical EngineeringPanelists: Scott Fendorf, Professor, Earth System Science and Senior Associate Dean, Stanford Earth; Dustin Schroeder, Assistant Professor, GeophysicsThis interactive session with a panel of Stanford Earth faculty will highlight how the School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences captures students’ passion for Earth and equips them with skills and training to address critical questions about all facets of our planet’s future.

Dereca L. Blackmon, Associate Dean and Director of Diversity and First Gen Office“Beyond Blame and Shame” shares new models and principles for effectively engaging difference with empathy, compassion and cultural humility.

Designing Your Life: Using Design Tools to Build a Great Life at and After Stanford1 Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center, McCaw Hall
Moderator: Farouk Dey, Dean of Career Education and Associate Vice Provost for Student AffairsPanelists: John Armstrong, Lecturer and Fellow, Life Design Lab; Kathy Davies, Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering and Managing Director, Life Design Lab; Gabrielle Santa-Donato, Lecturer and Fellow, Life Design Lab; Emily Tsiang, Lecturer and Fellow, Life Design LabThe process of creating a thriving life at and after Stanford can seem daunting. Using the human-centered design process developed and taught at Stanford for over 50 years and popularized by the Stanford d.school, it empowers students from all majors to think like designers and build their way forward. In this interactive session, get a taste of design thinking yourself! Practice getting unstuck, and try a few design tools to use in your own life and to share with your student. Then stay for a brief question and answer session with members of the Life Design Lab and BEAM.
Emerging Pictures of Distant Worlds8 Lathrop Library, Bishop Auditorium
Bruce Macintosh, Professor of PhysicsIn less than two decades, more than two thousand planets have been discovered orbiting other stars. Professor Macintosh will discuss these discoveries and the vast diversity of systems they have revealed, with a particular focus on imaging – using advanced telescopes and instruments to see the light from the planet directly, allowing us to measure their composition and nature. He will also look toward the future where space-based telescopes with similar technology or giant light-blocking star shades may someday measure the atmosphere of an Earth twin.
Innovation Is Not Brain Surgery4 Zambrano Hall, Cemex Auditorium
Tina Seelig, Professor of the Practice, Management Science & EngineeringInnovation often feels like a mystery. Whether we’re struggling to generate fresh ideas or staring at problems with no solutions in sight, the spark of inspiration often seems out of reach. In this interactive session Tina Seelig discusses why innovation seems so challenging, and will share a set of approaches and tools that allow us to ramp up our own creative problem solving, and that of our teams and organizations.
