Featured here are some of those images from Cantor’s permanent collection, as well as some that will be featured in the upcoming exhibition “Paper Chase: Ten Years of Collecting Prints, Drawings, and Photographs at the Cantor,” opening at the museum in 2021.

Congratulations to Louise Glück, winner of the 2

Congratulations to Louise Glück, winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature. Glück, in addition to her role as an adjunct professor of English at @yale, is also a visiting professor in Stanford's Creative Writing program and has taught "The Occasions of Poetry" class at Stanford for several years. This winter, she'll be teaching the Stegner Poetry Workshop. "Her care in teaching her craft is legendary," says Blakey Vermeule, chair of Stanford's English Department. "She respects young writers and gives them the benefit of her searching and close attention. We have been enormously fortunate to have her teaching in Creative Writing."

Ryan Wimsatt, '21, is a senior majoring in economics and editor for @stanfordmint. He shared these photos he took of a high school friend of his who attends Harvard and wrote "while we were shooting I just thought of how awesome it is to say that this art is a collaboration of black, collegiate artistry. THESE are the images I think of when I think of HIGHER EDUCATION."
