UCSD in La Jolla: Mary Walshok
Mary Walshok
“Innovation has created a virtuous circle of wealth and amenities for La Jolla. UC San Diego has been a hub of innovation and creativity on the mesa, a magnet for intellectual capital and dozens of research institutions. Through programs like Connect, the university deliberately and actively transformed the local economy into one of global technology companies filled with highly educated people. Thanks to the wealth created by growing companies and the highly educated, high-wage population, La Jolla’s social and cultural landscape has been able to support treasures like the La Jolla Playhouse and the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art. And that helps the university to continue to attract the world’s leading innovative thinkers. In my new book that comes out in January, Closing America’s Job Gap, I describe this type of economic and employment future for communities across America that would like to emulate what the university has helped create for La Jolla.”
