Student Services Specialist

Adam Petty

Student Services Center
Student Affairs

Adam’s career in higher education spans work in college access, international education, public service/civic engagement and financial aid. He first connected to the Farm in 2018, as Coordinator of the Rubenstein-Bing Student-Athlete Civic Engagement Program (ACE), a joint initiative between Duke (his alma mater) and Stanford. He officially joined the Stanford community in 2021, when he began working in the Financial Aid Office; he became a member of the Student Services Center specialist team in 2023. Adam holds an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.  

Fun fact: Adam believes that a good life is grounded in the basics – reading, functional movement, deep conversations, growing vegetables and cooking (especially grilling) lay the foundation for his health and happiness. Travel and activism add layers of richness.
