Stanford Eating Clubs/Student Organized Services Mission Statement

Our mission is to be an integral part of Stanford University's program for fostering learning within and without the classroom. We share the essential conviction of Residential Education - that living and learning should be integrated, not separate; that formal teaching, informal learning, and personal support in student residences is essential to a Stanford education.

Stanford Eating Clubs, Inc. provides a hands-on management leadership opportunity to serve the Stanford Community. Students learn management skills within a framework that allows them to experiment with new programmatic and business ideas, adapt to changing customer needs, and to quickly implement changes as necessary. The mentoring framework for student management is set up in such a manner that mistakes are expected. We are committed to assuring that the students learn from those mistakes. The Stanford Eating Clubs provide opportunities for paid student positions as residential staff. The Stanford Eating Clubs, Inc. has been committed to these principals since 1894. Our organization has since been strongly integrated in Stanford's unique and visionary Residential Education program.

As such Nick has made a career out of providing the HR, financial policy, and legal back-end for the Row at Stanford serving 41 kitchens throughout the campus and helping foster the student management program. Nick married Rachel Barnett (Class of '97) in 2006 and they live in Redwood City. In his spare time Nick enjoys playing, writing, singing, and producing music with his bands and label-mates through Toothless Monkey Records.
