I loved IHUM because my professors loved what they
were teaching. They are so passionate that you can’t
help but become engaged and learn. I don’t think
Stanford would be the same without IHUM.
Jessica, Stanford Class of ‘09
IHUM helped me gain perspective on life’s most
important questions.
Patrick, Stanford Class of ‘10
