SEN. BOB DOLE WELCOMES KU'S NEW CHANCELLOR
"I had the opportunity to talk with Kansas University's next Chancellor, Dr. Bernadette
Gray-Little, Executive Vice-Chancellor and Provost at the University of North Carolina.
I wanted to welcome her to Kansas, congratulate her on her new appointment and wish her well.
We touched base about the Dole Institute and the terrific relationship it has enjoyed with the university and Chancellor Hemenway.
The appointment is a historic one for KU and important to all Kansans.
I pledged to support our new chancellor in any way I can."
~ BOB DOLE, June 2, 2009

Concerning Fmr. Rep. Karen McCarthy
It is with deep regret that we hear news of Rep. Karen McCarthy’s medical condition. As a Dole Fellow in fall 2005, Karen brought the same energy and intelligence to her “A Citizen Can!” study group that she displayed in a long career of public service culminating in Congress. We are grateful for her important role here in growing our Fellowship program and wish Karen and her family well in these difficult times... --Dole Institute Staff

Brokaw Salutes Dole Institute on NBC's TODAY“I was just at the Bob Dole Institute at the University of Kansas, and I recommend to everybody watching this broadcast that if you get anywhere near Lawrence, Kansas, go to the Bob Dole Institute.....and you'll see some bright young people who are entering public life or are interested in the issues of the day. And you'll see a remarkable small museum about Bob's astonishing life. It is a great tribute to a great American." ....Tom Brokaw, during June 15 interview on NBC's Sunday TODAY
