PERCEPTIONS DO NOT drive Loyce LaShawndra Pace '99, but they matter. When filling out her Stanford application, Pace did not include that she was a runner. She could have. She was fast on the track and earned the right to trumpet her achievements. But she didn't. "I didn't want anyone to accuse me of getting in based on that," Pace said. "I was almost ashamed of that as a possibility." Instead, Pace walked on to the Stanford track and field team and by her senior year was elected team captain by her peers as the program rose to national prominence. Today, Pace is president and executive director of the Global Health Council in Washington, D.C. An expert in health policy, she has the ear of Congress, the World Health Organization -- and the President-elect.
