Community Hall at La Jolla Country Day School
Former Massachusetts governor and 1988 Democratic nominee for President of the United States Michael Dukakis will speak in the Community Hall at La Jolla Country Day School on Saturday, March 5, at 10 am. Governor Dukakis will give his "2016 State of the Nation Address," an annual tradition he has carried out at La Jolla Country Day School for the past seven years.
The talk in the Community Hall will be followed by a Q&A and will conclude by approximately 11:30 am. The event is a result of La Jolla Country Day School's continued commitment to civic engagement and our seven-year partnership with the City Club of San Diego, a non-partisan public forum dedicated to the dialogue of democracy since 1975.
Michael Dukakis
Michael Dukakis served four terms in the Massachusetts legislature before being elected governor for three terms (1975-1979 and 1983-1991). He won the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 1988 but lost the election to Vice President George H.W. Bush. Upon his retirement from politics, the former governor became a Distinguished Professor of Political Science at Northeastern University and visiting professor at the School of Public Affairs at UCLA, positions that he has held since 1991.
Governor Dukakis’s research has focused on national health care policy reform and the lessons that national policy makers can learn from state reform efforts. He and the late U.S. Senator Paul Simon authored the book titled How to Get Into Politics – and Why, which is designed to encourage young people to think seriously about politics and public service as a career.
