A Conversation with Jolinda Wade

Inspired by Earl W. Edwards’ enduring commitment to scholar-athlete excellence, leadership, and educational advancement, this lectureship examines the role of athletics as a catalyst for dialogue on education, wellness, leadership, and societal impact.

The UC San Diego Earl W. Edwards Lectureship on Athletics and Society is honored to welcome Jolinda Wade to UC San Diego for an inspiring and deeply personal conversation exploring perseverance, leadership, faith, and the enduring impact of community in shaping lives and futures.

Drawing from her life journey—including experiences of hardship, recovery, family, and personal transformation—Ms. Wade will reflect on the values of discipline, mentorship, belief, and opportunity that helped shape her path and the lives of those around her. Her story is further illuminated in her recent memoir, Conquering Me: A Memoir of Courage, Faith, and Transformation, which chronicles her journey through adversity, addiction, faith, and renewal, and offers a powerful extension of the themes she brings to the stage.

Her story offers a compelling perspective on resilience and purpose while inviting audiences to consider how faith, education, athletics, and community support can help individuals rise beyond circumstance and realize their potential.

Ms. Wade’s experiences also connect to broader cultural conversations surrounding leadership, family legacy, public visibility, the influence of athletics in American life, and reflections on parenting, perseverance, and personal growth. Ms. Wade is the proud mother of four children, including Olympic gold medalist and NBA Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade, who also wrote the foreword for her latest book.

Presented as part of the UC San Diego Earl W. Edwards Lectureship on Athletics and Society, the lecture advances dialogue at the intersection of athletics, education, wellness, culture, and lifelong learning.

Books will be available for purchase on-site, and Jolinda Wade will be available following the moderated dialogue for a post-event book signing and audience engagement opportunity.

For decades, the Tijuana River watershed has served as a vital ecological and community resource connecting communities on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Today, however, the region faces a growing environmental and public health crisis as untreated sewage, industrial pollutants, and contaminated stormwater flow through the watershed and into coastal communities.

Join the San Diego World Affairs Council for a timely discussion exploring one of the most pressing transboundary issues facing our region today. Poisoned Waters: The Tijuana River Crisis and the Future of Cross-Border Cooperation will bring together leaders and experts from both sides of the border to examine the crisis from environmental, public health, community, economic, and binational perspectives.

Together, panelists will explore the root causes of the crisis, the impacts on affected communities, current efforts to address the problem, and opportunities for greater collaboration among government agencies, community organizations, researchers, and residents. The conversation will also consider what the future of cross-border cooperation can and should look like as the region works toward long-term solutions.

In an era of rapid political change, shifting global alliances, and deepening partisan divides, the Helen Edison Lecture Series is honored to welcome Ambassador Jeff Flake—former U.S. Senator from Arizona, U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, and author of Conscience of a Conservative:  A Rejection of Destructive Politics and a Return to Principle—for a conversation exploring the challenges and opportunities of democratic governance in today’s volatile political climate.

Flakes career has spanned pivotal moments in recent American history: navigating congressional gridlock, representing U.S. interests abroad amid global uncertainty, and advocating for principled leadership in the public square. His tenure offers a unique vantage point on the pressures within Washington and the larger questions of constitutional balance, institutional resilience, and civic trust

In an era of rising political polarization and identity-driven conflict, how resistant is the United States to the threat of genocidal violence? What lessons can be drawn from societies that have experienced genocide—and how might deep-rooted cultural narratives around honor, rage, and revenge make even established democracies vulnerable?

Join the San Diego World Affairs Council (SDWAC) and the SDSU Centers for Human Rights and War and Society for a vital conversation with Professor Alexander Hinton, a leading expert on genocide, cultural violence, and white power movements in the United States. Hinton is a Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, Director of the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights, and UNESCO Chair on Genocide Prevention at Rutgers University. His recent book, It Can Happen Here: White Power and the Rising Threat of Genocide in the US, explores how seemingly stable societies can spiral into violence.

The discussion will be moderated by Grace Cheng, Founding Director of the Center for Human Rights at the College of Arts and Letters at San Diego State University.

This event confronts difficult but necessary questions about the fragility of democracy, the power of ideology, and the warning signs we must not ignore.

Books, Music, and Lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey

April 30-May 17, 2025

The 1950s high school dream is about to explode in this rollicking musical that is both an homage to the idealism of the fifties and a satire of high schoolers’ age-old desire to be rebellious and provocative. At the heart of the story is the romance between hot-rodding gangster Danny Zuko and the sweet new girl in town, Sandy Dumbrowski. They had a secret romance in summer, but now back in the context of school, peer-pressure and cliques make their love a bit more complicated. Can Danny maintain his cool dude status and still get make demure Sandy his girl?

The whole gang sings and dances around Danny and Sandy’s romance, through such hit songs as "Greased Lightnin'", "We Go Together”, and “Hopelessly Devoted To You”, recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. Achieving an eight-year Broadway run, Grease is among the world’s most popular musicals.

San Diego’s military presence shapes our economy, culture, and social fabric in profound ways. The region is home to the largest concentration of military personnel in the country, with more than 100,000 active-duty service members and over 240,000 veterans calling San Diego County home. The military contributes an estimated $63 billion annually to the local economy and directly employs nearly 148,000 San Diego residents through the Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Veterans Administration (VA). Additionally, military-related government contracts generate over 222,000 more jobs, meaning nearly a quarter of the region’s workforce is tied to the military sector.

Join us for an insightful Burnham Community Dialogue as we explore:

• The military’s impact and legacy in our region.

• Challenges and opportunities facing enlisted personnel and veterans, including support and advocacy efforts.
