As a Stanford graduate student, Dr. Holland was supported by a DARE (Diversifying Academia, Recruiting Excellence) fellowship from the Stanford Vice Provost for Graduate Education. She was in the 8th cohort of a program now welcoming its 11th cohort. To recognize the 10th anniversary of this successful program, over 150 alumni returned to Stanford for a three day conference and celebration that included social events, a professional development conference, research talks, and opportunities to share their experiences with current Stanford grad students.
