"Leader of The Pack: Life as a Senate Leader"

In addition to the permanent exhibits in the Dole Institute's Hanson Hall, new temporary exhibits are regularly added. The latest new exhibit, "Leader of The Pack: Life as a Senate Leader", offers an inside peek at Senator Dole's daily activities circa 1985 to 1996, and explores a day in the life of a political leader.

"Leader of the Pack: Life as a Senate Leader" is an anthropological exploration of sorts, displaying photographs and objects, some of which were removed from the Senator's desk upon his retirement in 1996. Dole's commitment to fair leadership and his dedication to public service are emphasized. The exhibit also includes his daily schedules book, never before viewed by the general public.

The exhibit was designed and constructed by two of the Institute's summer archival interns, both graduate students at the University of Kansas.
