Henry Segal is a history major in the class of 2026. Within the major, Henry's concentration is in the United States and devotes much of his time outside of class to investigating the history of the university. He was the co-director of the documentary, Leland, A Stanford Story, and a panelist on the Stanford Historical Society's program Leland: A Stanford Story -- Film Screening and Panel Discussion in May 2025. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Stanford Historical Society and will attend NYU School of Law in the fall.
