Johanna Mills Metzgar
Vice Provost, Vice Provost for Student Affairs
BioJohanna joined Stanford as Associate Vice Provost for Student and Academic Services and University Registrar in May 2018.
In her role, Johanna leads the Registrar's Office and seven other departments, including the Bechtel International Center, Graduate Admissions, Mind Over Money Financial Wellness, Student Financial Services, Student Information Systems, the Student Services Center, and User Experience & Design Strategy.
Under Johanna’s leadership, Student and Academic Services (SAS) has implemented a multi-year IT strategy that involves reimagining the experience for Stanford students and scholars by modernizing technology systems, making connections between them more seamless, and enabling students to easily navigate — and get the most out of — their academic journey at Stanford.
In addition to enhancing student services and the student experience, SAS is investing in these three areas to advance our vision:
- Strengthen engagement and connection among staff who support student services across the university community
- Renew and extend the system infrastructure supporting students, scholars, and faculty
- Build an enterprise academic, advising, planning, and enrollment platform as the first step toward replacing the enterprise student information system
Before joining Stanford, Johanna served as associate registrar at the University of California, Berkeley. She brought to Stanford more than 20 years of combined experience in student services at Cal as well as Columbia University, where she worked for 10 years in numerous roles, including associate director for the institution’s Division of Student Services and acting executive director of student services at Columbia’s Medical School. She also served as an associate registrar, assistant registrar, and financial aid officer at Columbia.
In her previous roles, Johanna streamlined and improved a wide range of academic and administrative processes, including billing, third-party payments, grading, transcript fulfillment, course approval, catalog production, class scheduling, enrollment management, degree audit, and graduation checkout. She has demonstrated a deep commitment to students by creating systems that have transformed how students explore courses and design their academic paths.

Timothy Meyer
Stanford University Professor of Nephrology, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsInadequate removal of uremic solutes contributes to widespread illness in the more than 500,000 Americans maintained on dialysis. But we know remarkably little about these solutes. Dr. Meyer's research efforts are focused on identifying which uremic solutes are toxic, how these solutes are made, and how their production could be decreased or their removal could be increased. We should be able to improve treatment if we knew more about what we are trying to remove.

Debra Meyerson
Adjunct Professor, GSE Faculty Affairs
BioTenured Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior from 2003 to 2013. Transitioned to adjunct professor in 2013 after a severe stroke in 2010.
While full time at Stanford and previously, Debra Meyerson conducted research primarily in three areas: a) gender and race relations in organizations, specifically individual and organizational strategies of change aimed at removing inequities and fostering productive inter-group relations; b) the role of philanthropic organizations as intermediaries in fostering change within educational institutions; and c) going to scale in the charter school field. Debra authored Tempered Radicals: How People Use Difference to Inspire Change at Work (HBS Press 2001), which provides an in depth look into how people can use diversity and difference to create positive change in the workplace without division or strife.
Nine years after her stroke in 2010, Debra published Identity Theft: Rediscovering Ourselves After Stroke (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2019.) The book is built on the combination of her lived experience as a survivor with disabilities and extensive interviews and research; it highlights the need for significantly more support than is provided in the current system to rebuild identity on the path to rebuilding lives of meaning and purpose. Debra also and co-founded Stroke Onward, a nonprofit now dedicated to catalyzing change in the healthcare system in order to insure survivors in the future receive that support. As co-Chair and active volunteer for Stroke Onward, Debra's focus is on driving research and publications that will help to better understand the problems and solutions that can inform the creation of a better healthcare system. She is also an extensive speaker in academic and industry settings.

Alice Miano
Advanced Lecturer, Language Ctr
BioDr. Alice (Ali) Miano teaches Spanish at all levels from an antiracist, social justice standpoint. She also incorporates and studies the effects of community-engaged language learning (CELL), both in her classes and in the Spanish-speaking communities in which she and her students interact. Her work examines reciprocal gains as well as challenges in CELL, and likewise interrogates traditional notions of "service" and “help” while underscoring the community cultural wealth, resistance, and resilience (Yosso, 2005) found in under-resourced communities and communities of color. She and her second-year students of Spanish have teamed up on joint art projects with a local chapter of the Boys & Girls Club of the Peninsula and currently collaborate with the Mountain View Dayworker Center. Many of her third-year students have co-created digital storytelling projects with Stanford workers.
Dr. Miano's current work examines the use of Critical Race Theory (CRT) as an analytical tool for students of Spanish who wish to gain deeper understandings of some of the social, cultural, and historical forces linking race and language. This work has found that CRT vitally engages students in the language classroom and may likewise lead to more robust communicative proficiency. In addition, her ethnographic research has examined the literate practices and parental school efforts of Mexican immigrant mothers in the Silicon Valley, finding that regardless of the mothers' (in)access to formal education, they supported their children's schooling in a variety of ways, many of which go unrecognized by educators and the society at large.
Dr. Miano has also volunteered to assist asylum seekers through the CARA Probono Project at the South Texas Family Detention Center in Dilley, TX; Al Otro Lado in Tijuana, Mexico; the Services, Immigration Rights, and Education Network (SIREN) in the San Francisco Bay Area, and Freedom for Immigrants.
In addition, as a workshop facilitator certified by ACTFL in the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) and Writing Proficiency Test (WPT), Dr. Miano has been privileged to engage with language instructors at various points around the globe--including Madagascar and Timor Leste, as well as a variety of Latin American countries from Paraguay to Mexico--on behalf of both ACTFL and the U.S. Peace Corps. -
Sara Michas-Martin
Lecturer, English
BioSara Michas-Martin is a poet and nonfiction writer who draws inspiration from science and the natural world. Specific teaching interests include ecopoetics, environmental humanities, science communication, and hybrid forms.
Her book, Gray Matter, winner of the Poets Out Loud Prize and nominated for the Colorado Book Award, explores the relationship between biology, the brain, and one’s conscious understanding of self. Black Box, forthcoming from Catapult Books (nonfiction), draws on medical, cultural, and natural history to consider how the logic of the maternal body corresponds, or is in tension with, ecological and social systems. Fire Weather, a poetry manuscript, takes on deep ecology and the ethics of care in our moment of environmental precarity.
Sara holds a BFA in visual art from the University of Michigan and an MFA in poetry from the University of Arizona. Her work has been supported by a Wallace Stegner fellowship, grants from the Barbara Deming Memorial Fund for Women, the Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Prize, as well as fellowships from the Vermont Studio Center, Virginia Center for the Arts, Marble House Project, the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, and the Community of Writers.
Recent poems and essays have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, received notable mentions in Best American Essays and Best American Science and Nature Writing anthologies, and have appeared in the American Poetry Review, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Longreads, New England Review, Orion, Kenyon Review, Terrain.org, and elsewhere.
