One looks like a professional letter, one looks like a Buzzfeed infographic...

Though it looks like a professional letter, but I wish someone paid more attention to design.  Specifically:

1) In an era of an abundance of beautiful typefaces, you don't think they could have done better than Times New Roman (I think that's what it used).  Stanford has (somewhat confusing) guidelines as far as fonts for written materials:

https://identity.stanford.edu/overview/fonts

The text probably should have been in Source Serif Pro (https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Source+Serif+Pro) or Crimson Text (https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Crimson+Text)

2) I generally don't like fully justified text; it is better to leave it left justified and ragged on the right.

3) They should have aligned the right margin to the right margin of the #OnlyAtStanford hashtag

4) The one place where they do have a ragged justification is the left column, because it is a list of individual bowl games.  But it doesn't look good to have one column be ragged and the other justified.  It probably would have been best to right justify the column of bowl games and leave the left ragged.  Generally speaking, you want centers to be aligned and edges to be ragged.
