Join us for an exclusive Stanford outing to historic Angel Island. From 1910 to 1940, Angel Island was the site of an Immigration Station that functioned as the West Coast equivalent of Ellis Island, although the Angel Island facility also enforced policies designed to exclude, rather than welcome, many Pacific Coast immigrants. Our guided tour will include a visit to the historic hospital building currently undergoing renovation and not open to the public until 2018.

We’ll be joined by Katherine Toy ’91, MA ’95, the current president of the Board of Directors of the Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation, past presidents Buck Gee ’72 and Kathy Ko Chin ’80, and former board member Howard Ting, MBA '98 for a thought-provoking discussion on the lessons and legacy of Angel Island in today’s contemporary immigration climate.

This event fee covers the tour of the immigration station. Participants purchase their own ferry tickets from San Francisco or Tiburon and join the Stanford group on the dock at Angel Island State Park at 10:20 a.m. We will hike to the immigration station together. Bring your own lunch and water. Be sure to wear comfortable hiking clothes and shoes.

We will take a tour of the site, and have our discussion over lunch. We aim to finish in time for participants to take the 1:55 p.m. ferry back to S.F. or the 2:20 p.m. back to Tiburon. For those who wish to enjoy more time on the island, both ferry companies offer later returns. Please consult the ferry schedules.

This event is part of the first-ever Asian American Alumni summit at Stanford (March 31-April 2). Find out more are http://sapaac.org/summit. Summit registration is not required to join the outing to Angel Island.
