About the Speaker

John Dancy, Class of 1959

Prior to his retirement in 1996, John Dancy was the most senior correspondent at NBC News. In his thirty-year career at the network, Dancy covered every major beat in Washington, and served twice as a foreign correspondent, based in Berlin, London, and Moscow.

Upon his retirement, he began a career in academe and public service. In September 1996, Dancy was named a Fellow at the Joan Shorenstein Center for Press, Politics and Public Policy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. He was the J.B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Fellow in Media Studies at George Washington University in the fall semester of 2002.

Since his retirement from NBC News, Dancy has been appointed twice to federal advisory commissions. He was a Senior Advisor to the National Security Commission/21st Century, ("Hart-Rudman Commission") which was chartered to determine U.S. defense needs for the first part of the new century. The Commission's three-phase report was one of the first to warn (in September 1999) of America's vulnerability to terrorist attack. read more
