Inspiring leadership is the goal of Knight-Hennessy Scholars (KHS) as we equip Stanford graduate students from across the university to create positive change in the world. You’re invited to a special opportunity to hear from alumni who will reflect on their time at Stanford University as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar, and share how the experience has enriched their career and life trajectory.
