In this special alumni edition of Origin Stories, we invited Stanford alumni to interview each other about how immigration has shaped their lives. Our guests in this episode are Stan Sze and Sarah Chan. In their conversation, Stan and Sarah paint portraits of their upbringing in Yangon, Myanmar (formerly Rangoon, Burma) and Brooklyn, NY, reflect on identity in America, and explore the ways they have remained connected to their communities and heritage over the years.
Stan is President and Director of the B.K. Kee Foundation and Board President at Community Partners International and Sarah teaches at an independent school in New Jersey. Both graduated from Stanford in 1990.
