In a recent JazzTimes Q&A, guitarist Stanley Jordan ’81 describes the breadth of how he sees himself:
"I’m a hippie, I’m a homeboy, I’m a girly girl, I’m an Ivy League academic, I’m a tech geek. I’m GQ, I’m Vanity Fair. I’m an athlete, I’m a teacher, I’m a healer. All these things are really real to me."
