Speaker Biographies

Senator Cory Booker,’91, MA ’92 is the junior United States senator from New Jersey. Senator Booker was born in Washington, D.C. A star high school athlete at Northern Valley High School in Old Tappan, Booker received a football scholarship to Stanford University, where he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Booker won a special election to fill the term of the late Senator Frank Lautenberg to become New Jersey’s first African American senator and only the twenty-first person in American history to ascend directly from mayor to senator.

Juju Chang, '87 is an Emmy Award-winning co-anchor of ABC News’ “Nightline.” She also reports regularly for “Good Morning America” and “20/20.” Chang’s work often involves in-depth personal narratives—from the most extensive face transplant ever attempted to the multi-year coming of age odyssey of a transgendered teen which won a 2015 Front Page award.

This OpenXChange event is co-sponsored by the Stanford Alumni Association, Haas Center for Public Service, Stanford in Government, and ASSU.
