What with all the rich scions and fat cat endowments on its huge private campus, you might think Stanford University would have its act together in welcoming a NATIONAL CELEBRITY to speak at their campus by meeting them at their limo at the entrance to the property, and at least sending them clear directions on how ,where and when to enter such a large confusing private property. But NO, Stanford U. let this famous tv personality and i wander around the maze of streets to get to the building where the speech was about to begin.
Yes, i had a map of both Thomas Bros. and a Stanford U. variety and yes, i had been on campus many many times. The point is this building was almost inaccessible due to temporary street closures , poor visibility night signage of street intersections, and the definite lack of anyone around to ask ,since calling campus security has been a waste of time in the past.
Stanford University need to assign a formal greeter to every dignitary who wants one coming to campus, to not just politely welcome them , but to make sure they get to the proper building on time. It was very close timing, but with a little luck we made it !
