[Editor’s note: Leon Panetta compiled
a strong pro-abortion voting record while serving in the U.S. House of
Representatives from 1976 to 1994 from California’s 16th Congressional
District. In 1990, he was a co-sponsor of the federal Freedom of Choice
Act, and later, as President Bill Clinton’s White House chief of staff,
Panetta defended the then-president’s veto of a bill that would have
prohibited partial-birth abortions.]
Leon Panetta, who served as United States
Secretary of Defense, CIA director and an eight-term member of Congress
during his 50-year career, will be the featured speaker at Santa Clara
University School of Law’s commencement ceremony.
Panetta will address the class of 2017 at
Santa Clara Law’s commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 20 at 9:30

“Our students have a tremendous role
model in our distinguished alumnus, Leon Panetta, and his decades of
ethical leadership and public service,” said Santa Clara University
School of Law Dean Lisa Kloppenberg.
“His career exemplifies our University’s
Jesuit ethos of putting one’s talents to work in service to others. At
every turn he has endeavored to create a more just, humane, and
sustainable world.” Panetta is currently chairman of the Panetta
Institute for Public Policy, a nonpartisan, not-for-profit study center
seeking to attract thoughtful men and women to lives of public service
and prepare them for the policy challenges of the future.
It includes a Congressional Internship
program for students, including Santa Clara University students, as well
as a lecture series, policy research and other youth civic-engagement
opportunities. “As an alumnus of Santa Clara University and the School
of Law, I am honored to speak to the class of 2017 at their commencement
ceremony,” said Panetta.
“I hope to share with them the same
inspiration I received from Santa Clara to a life of public service to
our democracy.” Panetta’s affiliation with Santa Clara University is a
close and longstanding one.
