Otero House in Stanford, CA is a residence that is part of the Sequoia neighborhood. Established in 1971, it was originally created to build a community and support the experiences of a small, primarily first-generation Asian American student population. Renamed in 1979 after John Okada, the first Asian American novelist, Okada House continues to celebrate the diversity of Asian American peoples, cultures, and languages, providing a warm and vibrant community for students to explore the Asian American experience.
As a focal point for students in the residence and across campus, Okada House offers a space to delve into what it means to be Asian in America, both for those connected to Asian American identity and those who feel in-between. With a focus on historical and contemporary contexts, Okada House fosters an environment of exploration and understanding, encouraging students to engage with the Asian American experience and its impact on society.
