It's probably in the pipeline. Because it takes time to write, edit and produce high-quality Class Notes, your news typically appears two to three issues after you submit it.
For privacy reasons, Class Notes are accessible only to alumni. You must be logged in to the Stanford Alumni Association site to read Class Notes. If you are not a member of the site, you can register for free.
Stanford publishes brief, staff-written obituaries of alumni. You may submit obituary information online or via mail or email. Please use only one method of submission. When possible, please include the alum's full name, class year, city and state of residence, age, date and cause of death, activities at Stanford, career and personal highlights, and survivors (and their Stanford class years, if any). Copies of newspaper obituaries are welcome.
We depend on readers to bring some of our best stories to light. We also depend on alumni for essays and Stanford memories. If you have an idea for us, send us a few sentences that explain the gist of the idea and why you think it would be a good fit for Stanford. You are welcome to include background information. You can send ideas via email, fax or mail.
Send a review copy to the Shelf Life editor at our address. We receive a lot of books, but we try to write about as many as possible. If your book is selected, it may take several issues for it to be included.
