We are thrilled to start the Rock Center and feel privileged to have it begun by someone like Arthur Rock, whose life and work have been central in creating the Silicon Valley. Our goal, like Arthur's, is nothing less than to transform corporate governance in the United States and abroad. It is imperative to restore public trust in business and to do so in a way that fuels rather than impedes growth. The resources that can be brought to bear at Stanford--in law, business, economics, and engineering--will enable us to tackle problems in new ways. And with the help and participation of the business community itself, the Rock Center can and will become a source for problem solving, new thinking, and great scholarship in this most important of domains. |

We're all going to go crazy, living this epidemic every minute, while the rest of the world goes on out there, all around us, as if nothing is happening, going on with their own lives and not knowing what it's like, what we're going through.

We're making adjustments every minute based on how things are holding up. |
We're very pleased to offer this event programming for free on the web. |
We've built enough capacity to exceed any other planned event in the history of the Web. |
What we've done is complement the biggest college sports event of the year with the largest known simultaneous live viewing audience. |
You'll see more and more becoming available on the Web, mostly in cases where networks are convinced it supports and helps the show, |
