Joyce Rice develops and implements promotional strategies for SCPD's new and existing programs. "Outstanding programs and services aren't created in a vacuum; I always want to know what our customers' needs are. I like to solicit feedback from our students and our corporate community." Rice joined SCPD at the beginning of 2001, but has lived near Stanford University for twenty years. (She's given walking tours of the campus, highlighting Stanford's unique architecture.) Her background is varied and extensive: promoting computer, medical, horticultural and many other products; and operating a family gardening products business, where she did everything from product design and promotion to warehousing and distribution. "I've always looked for creative uses for my MBA. My first marketing job, in fact, was in public education. Now this position brings me full circle, back to education." When asked about her own goals at SCPD, she says, "I am interested in the enormous potential of distance learning as a whole. More specifically, though, our students have a unique opportunity: to get a real Stanford education, even if they cannot attend classes on campus. I think that for many people across the country, particularly professionals in engineering and emerging technologies, this can fulfill a dream -- a Stanford graduate education. I want to let them know the dream is possible." |
