Meet Darius White, Class of 2011

Wednesday March 17, 2010

Darius White '11 (African and African American Studies)

Connection to the Haas Center
Public Service Leadership Program Candidate, East Palo Alto Stanford Academy (EPASA)

Activities you participate in
In addition to tutoring with East Palo Alto Stanford Academy, (EPASA) I participate in the student organizations Men Against Abuse Now (MAAN) and Project Love. MAAN aims to increase campus awareness on issues of gender violence and masculinity, while Project Love looks to inspire more smiles on campus.

Why is the Haas Center important to you?
The Haas Center is important to me because I feel that public service is an essential complement to formal education. For me, the Haas Center is where coursework, passion, and practice come together in the form of youth education and mentorship.

Why do you choose action over apathy?
One word: movement. As Newton’s first law of motion states, "An object in motion tends to stay in motion." Public service is a movement, built on continuous action.
