Dr. Stephen
Horn
(August 1970-February 1988)
Dr. Stephen Horn emphasized ever-increasing
quality at the undergraduate and graduate level and a close relationship
between the liberal arts and the several professional schools.
A native Californian, Dr. Horn received
the Bachelor of Arts degree (with great distinction) in political
science from Stanford University in 1953. He was awarded a Master
of Public Administration degree from Harvard University in 1955
and a Doctoral degree in political science from Stanford in 1958.
In 1958, Dr. Horn began a career
in public affairs as a Congressional Fellow of the American Political
Science Association. He also completed his first book, The Cabinet
and Congress. In 1959 he was appointed Administrative Assistant
to Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell. In late 1960, he moved
to Capital Hill where he served as the Legislative Assistant to
U.S. Senator Thomas H. Kuchel (R-Calif.), who was one of the four
leaders of the Senate.
In 1966, Dr. Horn began a transition
to higher education as a Senior Fellow at The Brookings Institution
where he wrote, Unused Power: The Work of the Senate Committee on
Appropriations. He next examined the problems of legislative ethics
and campaign finances which resulted in a co-authored work after
he came to CSULB. During that 1966-1969 period, he was also senior
consultant and host for "The Government Story," a 40-show TV series
on Congress, The Presidency and the Supreme Court.
In February 1969, he became Dean
of Graduate Studies and Research at The American University in Washington
D.C. and the following year became the third president of California
State University Long Beach.
From 1969 to 1982, Dr. Horn served
as Vice Chairman and Commissioner of the United States Commission
on Civil Rights. He is a founding member, a former chairman, and
served on the Advisory Board of the American Association of State
Colleges and Universities. In 1986, he was honored by election to
the National Academy of Public Administration.
In 1992 Dr. Horn was first elected
to the U.S. Congress, a post he continues to hold, representing
the 38th Congressional District wish includes most of Long Beach
and Lakewood, all of Signal Hill, Bellflower, Paramount, Downey,
and a small portion of San Pedro. |
