Here’s how the neighborhood assignment process actually works

After Stanford announced its implementation plan for neighborhoods — the hallmark of the University’s ResX initiative that seeks to reimagine the residential experience — many students were left with lingering questions about how the system will work. As the April 25 neighborhood application deadline rapidly approaches, The Daily sought out to answer the community’s most pressing questions, from what a neighborhood actually is to how the neighborhood assignment application differs from pre-assignment, living complex and room selection. So, here’s everything you need to know as you apply for your neighborhood. 

First, what actually is a neighborhood? 

Your neighborhood, which is intended to be your home for the rest of your time as a Stanford undergraduate, is a collection of residential buildings and students in which and with whom you can live. Undergraduate students will be divided into eight neighborhoods — temporarily named with the letters S, T, A, N, F, O, R and D — each of which includes a combination of frosh and multi-year residences, University Theme Houses (UTH), Row houses, Greek houses, cooperatives, apartment-style residences and housing options for students with disability-related accommodations. You can view a map of the neighborhoods and learn more about each one here .

With the intention of building a tight-knit community, each neighborhood will also have a professional staff, a community council and community gathering spaces. According to Residential and Dining Enterprises (R&DE) spokesperson Jocelyn Breeland and Senior Director of Communications for Student Affairs Pat Harris, R&DE and Residential Education are still ironing out the details of these resources. Each neighborhood will also have its own Neighborhood Theme Houses , which will only be open to students in that neighborhood. And, though each neighborhood will have its own dining options , students will be able to access all dining halls regardless of their neighborhood assignment. 

How does the neighborhood application process work? 

You can apply for your neighborhood, which requires ranking all eight neighborhoods in order of preference, as an individual or in a group of up to eight peers. Groups can consist of students from multiple class years. If you choose to apply in a group, your group will be assigned a unique name and code. Each member of the group must fill out an individual application using the group name and code, but only the student who is the creator of the group can rank neighborhoods and edit the rankings up until the April 25 application deadline. Neighborhood assignments will be announced on Friday, May 21. 

Is applying for your neighborhood the same as applying for housing? 

No. Applying for your neighborhood is the first step of a three-step housing assignment process. Your neighborhood assignment indicates which Stanford residences are available to you (remember, you can only live in buildings and with people in your neighborhood, unless you live in a UTH or serve in a student staffing role). 

Starting in mid-June, you will be able to complete the residence selection process, in which you will rank residences in your neighborhood. This is also when you can complete the pre-assignment process if you want to live in a cultural, ethnic or academic theme house, cooperative, Row house or Greek house, and it’s when ResEd will select student staff . If you need medical housing accommodations, this is when you should file a request with the Office of Accessible Education. Finally, in August, you will be able to select your room in your assigned residence — the last step of the assignment process. 

So if I complete the neighborhood application with a group, does my roommate need to be included in that group? 

Nope! While your roommate can be among the people with whom you apply for your neighborhood, they do not have to be. Remember: You can only live with people within your assigned neighborhood (except if student staffing or living in a UTH), so your roommate can be anyone who is also in your neighborhood.

During the residence selection process, “you may apply with the same group that submitted a neighborhood application together, or you can form a new group,” Breeland and Harris wrote in a statement to The Daily.

Who will be given priority assignment, and how will class year be defined for those who took time off from school this past year? 

Stanford’s housing system categorizes students based on cohort year (the year they came to Stanford), so students who took time off this past year will still be considered members of their original cohort. Neighborhood assignments will be made with the help of randomly generated numbers, though they will not be the only guiding factor. The University has said that their primary goal is to keep friend groups together and ensure that class cohorts are evenly distributed across all eight neighborhoods. So, if you choose to apply to a neighborhood with a group of students in multiple class years, this will not necessarily put you at a disadvantage, according to Breeland and Harris. Class year priority will become relevant during the residence and room selection processes, in which seniors will receive top priority, followed by juniors and then sophomores.

What if I want to live in a University Theme House (UTH)? 

You may live in a UTH regardless of whether it is located in your neighborhood. So, if you are in Neighborhood S but want to live in an ethnic theme house located in Neighborhood T, you can do that ! You are permitted to live outside of your neighborhood for up to two years, unless you have a staff assignment or hold an executive leadership position in a Greek organization. Students should apply to live in a UTH during the pre-assignment process, which will take place after neighborhood assignments are completed. 

“As you consider which neighborhoods to rank, please keep in mind that all of the UTHs will be 100% preassigned and open to students from all neighborhoods,” Breeland and Harris wrote. “Therefore, students should not rank neighborhoods based on theme programs as they will always be eligible to preassign into all theme programs.”

What if I don’t like my neighborhood? Can I switch?

If you aren’t happy with your neighborhood assignment, you can try to switch neighborhoods, though the process for switching will not be formalized until next spring, according to Breeland and Harris. Though you can switch neighborhoods, keep in mind that you will receive the lowest priority within your class cohort for housing assignment. 

What is going on with EVGR-A and Mirrielees? 

Both Escondido Village Graduate Residences Building A (EVGR-A) and Mirrielees House offer apartment-style living, which, because it is highly sought after by upperclassmen, is distributed across all eight neighborhoods. 

“We wanted to be sure that every neighborhood had some portion of Mirrielees and EVGR-A, so upperclass students can continue to be a part of their assigned neighborhoods, while enjoying these more independent living options,” Breeland and Harris wrote. They said that each neighborhood will have a wing(s) and/or floor(s) of EVGR-A and Mirrielees. EVGR-A will continue to be used for undergraduate housing next year to accommodate a nearly 400-student increase in the Class of 2025.

I’m a sophomore who hasn’t been to campus yet. Will there be any recreation of the frosh experience I missed? 

Yes! Rising sophomores have the option to be assigned roommates and housing, as they would have been had they come to campus last year. You can also request to live in all-sophomore housing. R&DE wrote in a recent email on the application process that they “strongly encourage rising sophomores to consider participating in [the roommate matching program] as a way to alleviate any stress you may be feeling regarding the assignment process.” They also emphasized that applying to a neighborhood individually is something they expect many students to do. 

Students who took a gap year after their frosh year can also live in all-sophomore housing, though cohort-year sophomores will be given first priority. 

I’m an incoming frosh. Does all of this still apply to me?  

No; incoming frosh do not need complete the neighborhood application process. Instead, they will complete their own Approaching Stanford housing assignment process, in which they may be assigned to all-frosh housing in a neighborhood or to a UTH, like an ethnic or academic theme dorm. Incoming frosh will still be matched with a roommate, as in previous years. 

I’m completing a coterminal degree next year. Can I still apply for a neighborhood? 

While coterminal students may apply for undergraduate housing via the neighborhood process, the University is encouraging these students to apply for housing through the Graduate Housing Lottery due to potentially limited space in undergraduate residences. 

What about incoming transfer students? 

Incoming transfer students do not need to apply for a neighborhood and will still be provided with all-transfer housing, though the University has not yet selected the house in which this will exist and may also decide to rotate the location of transfer housing each year. These students will go through a separate Approaching Stanford process and will be matched with a roommate for their first year. 

More questions? You can ask them here and we’ll keep updating this story as we get new information!

This article has been updated to reflect that a decision to use EVGR-A for undergraduate housing for the next four years has not yet been made. The University told The Daily that Vice Provost Susie Brubaker-Cole misspoke in an April Parents’ Club Q&A session when she indicated that the building would be used to house undergraduates for the next four years to accommodate an increase in the incoming frosh class.

Department Announces Naming of Translational Cardiothoracic Surgeon Scientist Visiting Professorship after Dr. Edward B. Stinson

May 9, 2024

The Stanford Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery is honored to announce the naming of the Translational Cardiothoracic Surgeon Scientist Visiting Professorship after Edward B. Stinson, MD . 

Dr. Stinson, a pioneer in heart transplantation, is a world-renowned cardiothoracic surgeon-scientist known for his groundbreaking clinical and translational research contributions to cardiac surgery. Alongside Norman E. Shumway, MD, PhD , he played a pivotal role in performing the first successful human heart transplant in the United States, and during his long career at Stanford, he contributed greatly to its position as a leading program in cardiothoracic surgery. 

Dr. Stinson was born in 1938 in San Diego, Calif. He received his bachelor's and medical degrees from Stanford University. After graduating in 1965, he trained in cardiovascular surgery at Stanford and joined the faculty in 1969. Throughout his career, Dr. Stinson was dedicated to pursuing innovative work at the intersection of surgery and cardiac research, and transforming discoveries into surgical interventions and treatments to improve patient outcomes.

From early on, Dr. Stinson’s clinical and translational research contributions impacted the heart transplant community. In 1965, he was a member of the research team that produced the classic paper evaluating experimental heart transplants in animal studies at Stanford Medicine led by Dr. Shumway. Findings from the laboratory experiments provided Dr. Stinson and the team crucial insights to their understanding of immunosuppression strategies and surgical techniques that were pivotal in shaping heart transplantation. The work demonstrated that the experimental heart transplant procedures could be successful and led the way for its eventual clinical adaptation at Stanford Medicine.

In 1968, as the chief resident under Dr. Shumway, Dr. Stinson assisted in performing the first adult human-to-human heart transplant in the United States. Dr. Stinson later described the historic operation on the 54-year-old patient as awe-inspiring: “After we removed the recipient’s heart, we stared at the empty pericardial cavity and wondered what we’d actually done.” As they proceeded with implanting the new heart, Dr. Stinson recalled the excitement of witnessing the heart start beating again. 

Dr. Stinson, together with Randall Griepp, MD , led Stanford's heart transplant team during the early 1970s, the formative years of heart transplantation. Dr. Stinson performed almost exclusively cardiac surgery, with occasional assignments to general surgery. Noted for his skill and speed at surgery, he was known as "Fast Eddie" in the operating room.

From 1970 to 1972, Dr. Stinson served as a staff associate at the National Heart and Lung Institute Clinic of Surgery. There, he was responsible for clinical activity in cardiac surgery and intramural research programs addressing cardiac physiology and heart transplantation. 

Dr. Stinson returned to Stanford and became the director of the heart transplantation program. In 1973, he also became the principal investigator of a prestigious grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the “Program Project” grant or PO1, for further work on heart and lung transplantation, a project that would span nearly 25 years. NIH PO1 grants fund multidisciplinary, long-term research programs directed toward solving a wide range of problems sharing a common central focus. Specifically, Dr. Stinson’s PO1 focused on both combined heart-lung transplantation as well as lung transplantation, with aims to improve donor organ procurement and graft preservation, refine intraoperative techniques and management, investigate the pathological and genetic features of cystic fibrosis patients, and to provide in-depth training to medical and surgical trainees from around the world.

Over the next several years, Drs. Shumway and Stinson, along with colleagues from all clinical disciplines, made numerous advances in the field that helped to increase the rate of success in heart and lung transplantation, including careful selection of donors and recipients, increasing the donor pool, improvements in post-transplant heart biopsies, and advances in immunosuppressive regimens to prevent rejection of the foreign organ, among other developments. 

Dr. Stinson authored several reports on early heart transplants and their later successes, as well as findings from other research endeavors and their clinical applications in the operating room. He was part of Stanford's team to first introduce the new immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine for heart transplantation at Stanford in late 1980, building upon their years of research in this area and ultimately successfully applying it into clinical treatment for transplant patients. 

He co-authored a seminal paper in 1970 on the management of acute aortic dissections, which established the widely used Stanford classification system for aortic dissection. This system classified aortic dissections into two groups, type A and type B, based on whether the ascending aorta is involved, regardless of the site of tear and the extent of dissection.

He also shared research interest in the application of hypothermia to cardiac surgery with Drs. Shumway and Griepp. In 1973, Drs. Griepp, Stinson, and Shumway described the protective effect of topical hypothermia for protecting the human heart during cardiac surgery. In 1975, they published a technique for total arch replacement using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, an approach that became the standard for over two decades.

In 1979, Dr. Stinson became the first holder of the Thelma and Henry Doelger Professorship of Cardiovascular Surgery at Stanford Medicine. In 1981, he was a founding member of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) and chaired its first international program.

After decades of service to patients, mentorship and education of the next generation of cardiothoracic surgeons, and scientific contributions to the advancement of heart and lung transplantation, Dr. Stinson retired in September 1998. Dr. Stinson is the epitome of the translational surgeon scientist, and the department is so fortunate to be able to name this visiting professorship in his honor.

Teaching Statement

Ilya A. Strebulaev is The David S. Lobel Professor of Private Equity and Professor of Finance at Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he has been a faculty member since 2004, and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. He also is the founder and director of the Stanford GSB Venture Capital Initiative. He graduated from the London Business School with a doctorate in finance. He also holds degrees from Lomonosov Moscow State University (BSc Economics) and the New Economic School, Moscow (MA Economics). 

Professor Strebulaev is an expert in corporate finance, venture and angel capital, innovation financing, corporate innovation, private equity, and financial decision-making. His work has been widely published in leading academic journals, including   the  Journal of Finance,  the  Review of  Financial Studies,  and the  Journal of Financial Economics.  He has been awarded a number of prestigious academic awards, including the First Paper Prize of the Brattle Award for the best corporate paper published in the Journal of Finance, the Fama-DFA Prize for the best asset pricing paper published in the Journal of Financial Economics , and the Trefftzs Award by the Western Finance Association. His research has also been featured in a variety of media, including the  New York Times,  the  Wall Street Journal and Harvard Business Review .

His most recent research has examined many aspects of the venture capital industry. In the largest ever survey of VCs to date, he and his co-authors analyze all the aspects of decision-making by venture capitalists. He and his co-author developed a valuation framework of private VC-backed companies. In applying this framework to the valuation of highly valued VC-backed companies (called “unicorns”), hey found that these companies on average are overvalued by 50% and that many of the so-called unicorns lose their unicorn status once their fair value is taken into consideration. He has also recently researched the decision making and organizational structure of corporate VC units.

Professor Strebulaev teaches the MBA, MSx, PhD, and executive education programs, and has been awarded the Stanford MBA Distinguished Teaching Award, the Sloan Teaching Excellence Award, as well as the inaugural Masters in Management Best Teacher Award at the London Business School. He developed an MBA-level course on Angel and Venture Capital that he has been teaching for more than ten years. The course enables the students to study many aspects of innovation financing at various stages, including decision making, attracting venture and angel investments, negotiating contractual terms, valuing VC-backed companies, and analyzing the performance of venture capital funds. Recently, he also developed a course on the private equity industry that covers all aspects of the organization and design of PE firms and funds, as well as the relationship between general partners of these funds and their investors, limited partners.

Professor Strebulaev has also led many workshops and executive sessions on new innovation trends, venture capital, the ecosystem of Silicon Valley, corporate innovation, and strategic decision making for senior business and government leaders around the world. He also has been consulting companies and investors around the world on valuation of VC-backed companies, selection of VC investments and managers, and portfolio allocation. He also serves as an expert witness in litigation matters.

When not teaching or doing research, Ilya enjoys spending time with his family, reading, traveling, listening to classical music, and appreciating fine wine and art.

Applying with a Friend in The OAE Graduate Housing Lottery

Main navigation.

If you want to live on campus with one to three friends, you may apply for housing in a group. What's different about applying for graduate housing when a member of your group qualifies for The OAE Graduate Housing Lottery ?

Some Things Remain the Same

• All group members must submit an individual housing application in Axess with the group information, as described in Applying with Friends In Graduate Housing .
• Your  Assignment priority level  matters. You will not automatically be assigned along with the OAE student if your priority does not warrant the same type of assignment, or an assignment at all.
• Your group still gets a random lottery number.

How The OAE Graduate Housing Lottery Differs

• Each member of the group must submit their graduate housing application by  The OAE Lottery Deadline . Here's a link to the  The OAE Lottery Timeline . 
• Participating in The OAE Lottery means relinquishing your right to participate in the standard First Round Lottery. You may still take part in the Second Round Assignments or Rolling Assignments.
• Any disability-related accommodations approved for group member(s) registered with the OAE are specific to them and don't apply to you. In the same way that priority does not transfer between group members, neither do accommodations.
• Only the residential choices listed by  the student requiring the accommodations  will be used for assignment consideration; group retention level is not applicable.
• Single graduate students can apply as a group up to The OAE Lottery Deadline. No groups can be considered after that time.
• Your group could be assigned to a space (e.g., an apartment type or building) that is ranked lower on your list. How your housing assignment is determined in the OAE Lottery depends - first and foremost - on the approved disability-related accommodations. Check out the cards below.

The OAE Lottery

• OAE approved disability-related accommodations
• Your  assignment priority level
• Your group's random lottery number
• The housing choices listed by  the student requiring the accommodations

The Standard Lottery

• Your housing choices
• Your group retention level

CS224S Assignment 3: Leveraging audio foundation models and working with non-English speech

Spring 2024.

Time and Location

Mon. & Wed. 12:30 PM - 1:20 PM Pacific Time Jordan Hall room 040 (420-040)

Please read this entire handout before beginning. We advise you to start early and to make use of the TAs by coming to office hours and asking questions! For collaboration and the late day policy, please refer to the home page.

About the Assignment

In this assignment you will leverage foundation models to work with multiple non-English languages. We will use foundation model features to visualize speech data from several languages, and leverage these models to do speech transcription and improve performance without being able to understand each language as we work! As a warmup, you will implement the CTC loss function to build intuition for how it computes alignments implicitly as part of loss computation.

Submission Instructions

This assignment is due on Monday 05/20/2024 by 11:59PM pacific (or at latest on 05/23/2024 with three late days). For this assignment, you will submit your filled-in/executed Colab Notebook (just one) with all code/output, as PDF (combine both PDFs into the same file) on Gradescope. Please tag your question responses.

All instructions and starter code are contained in the Google Colab notebook. You will need to make a copy to your Google Drive before beginning.

You can access the starter notebook in Google Drive . Remember to make a copy before starting your work!
