Support the MLA Program
"I loved the MLA program when I was in it, and it is still as valuable to me today as it was 15 years ago when I graduated. I even took an MLA class as recently as last year. To say that Stanford changed my life may be cliché, but it's true. Stay involved and engaged."
—David Soward, MLA graduate
