Can the Golden State be Made to Shine Again? with Dr. Herb Gooch

What has the presidency of Joe Biden meant for California? How is Gov. Gavin Newsom doing and what is he likely to do? Where is California headed? We'll look into the major threats and opportunities facing California, from COVID-19 and climate change to immigration and the economy. 

Dr. Herbert Gooch is professor emeritus of political science at California Lutheran University. He formerly served as director of the Masters in Public Policy and Administration program and assistant provost for Graduate Studies at Cal Lutheran. A graduate of UC Berkeley in History, he holds a MBA in management and both master's and doctoral degrees in political science from UCLA. He has written extensively and is a frequent commentator on political affairs locally and statewide. He has been at Cal Lutheran since 1987 and lives in Newbury Park with his wife. His interests include politics, film and travel.

The Fifty and Better program was designed to offer university-level courses (no tests, no homework) taught by experts in the field, and to host social engagement activities for individuals age 50 and older. When COVID-19 erupted and the first-ever offering of in-person courses had to be postponed indefinitely, we responded by moving the courses to a virtual environment using Zoom.

Cost for the two-hour lecture is $8. Registration is required by 3 p.m. March 26.
