In May, Kevin Warsh, ’92, was confirmed as chair of the Federal Reserve.
Speaking of making bank, the WNBA and the Women’s National Basketball Players Association, which is led by L.A. Sparks forward Nneka Ogwumike, ’12, have negotiated the first comprehensive revenue-sharing model in women’s professional sports.
Ogwumike isn’t the only one making sports history. At press time, José Feliciano, MBA ’99, and his wife, Kwanza Jones, were poised to purchase the San Diego Padres for a record $3.9 billion.
Sometimes record lows are the way to go: Sara Bei Hall, ’05, placed first in the 2026 Boston Marathon master’s division in 2:31:55, while in the women’s division, Jess Tonn McClain, ’14, MA ’15, was fifth overall and the top American finisher, setting an American course record with a time of 2:20:49.
Also recognized for superlative performance are Ruth Porat, ’79, and Ron Spogli, ’70, both of whom served for a decade on Stanford’s Board of Trustees and are the newest recipients of the Gold Spike Award for volunteer service to the university.
Gold spikes could be ideal accessories for Avianna Mynhier, ’17, who wears yellow armor in the Disney+ show Armorsaurs, about teens who bond with dinosaurs and work together to fight aliens.
