TWO DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI, VAUGHN C. WILLIAMS ’69 AND MIRIAM RIVERA ’95 (BA ’86, MA ’89, MBA ’94), have added a new title to their already impressive resumes: Stanford University trustee. • Williams, whose five-year term began Feburary 11, has been a partner for 29 years at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom’s New York headquarters, where he specializes in securities class action suits. He is active in Skadden’s pro bono practice and serves on the Skadden Fellowship Foundation committee. In addition to his many community service activities, he is currently a member of the law school campaign steering committee for The Stanford Challenge and of its Board of Visitors.

One of four new trustees elected through an alumni nomination process, Rivera started her five-year term this April. She has held top spots at several Silicon Valley companies, including vice president and deputy general counsel at Google, and serves on the board of advisors of Hispanic-Net, an organization supporting Hispanic entrepreneurs and executives in technology. Like Williams, Rivera also has many public service pursuits including the law school’s Board of Visitors.

Williams and Rivera are joining a 33-member board that includes another notable alumnus, John P. Levin ’73 (MA ’70).
