SUMMARY:Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II (WASP)
DESCRIPTION:In 2010\, the Dole Institute of Politics awarded the Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II with the Dole Leadership Prize for their courage and contributions during the war.\nAbout World War II Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) \nBetween 1942 and 1944\, at the height of World War II\, more than a thousand women left homes and jobs for the opportunity of a lifetime–to become the first in history to fly for the U.S. military. They volunteered as civilian pilots in an experimental Army Air Corp program to see if women could serve as pilots and relieve men for overseas duty. Originally\, 25\,000 women applied to the program\, 1\,830 were accepted and 1\,074 graduated from training. These women became the Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II\, better known as the WASP. Under the determined leadership of Jacqueline Cochran\, Nancy Harkness Love\, and General Henry “Hap” Arnold\, the WASP succeeded beyond all expectations. \nThe WASP were originally stationed at the Howard Hughes Municipal Airport\, Houston\, Texas but were transferred to Avenger Field\, Sweetwater\, Texas in 1943. They received seven months of training including Primary\, Basic\, and Advanced training\, the same as male cadets. The WASP were then stationed at 120 Army Air bases across the United States\, where they flew 78 different types of aircraft\, every aircraft the Army Air Corps flew\, including the B-29. However\, in 1944\, with more than 900 women on duty\, the WASP were deactivated due to military budget cuts. \nBetween 1944 and 1977\, WASP\, along with other supporters and state representatives worked to have their service be both officially recognized and no longer classified as “civilian”. In 1977\, a bill officially declared the WASP as “having served on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States for purposes of laws administered by the Veterans Administration.” In 1984\, each pilot was awarded the World War II Victory Medal and those who served for more than one year were also given the American Theater Ribbon and American Campaign Medal. \nFinally\, on July 1st\, 2009\, President Obama signed the bill that would lead Congress to award WASP the Congressional Gold Medal. WASP received the medal on March 10\, 2010\, at a ceremony in Washington D.C.

SUMMARY:Bob Woodward
DESCRIPTION:Bob Woodward\, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and associate editor for the Washington Post\, was interviewed by Dole Institute of Politics Director Bill Lacy for the 2011 Dole Lecture.\nBob Woodward is regarded as one of America’s preeminent investigative reporters and non-fiction authors. He has worked for The Washington Post since 1971 as a reporter\, and is currently an associate editor of the Post. While a young reporter for The Washington Post in 1972\, Woodward was teamed up with Carl Bernstein; the two did much\, but not all\, of the original news reporting on the Watergate scandal that led to numerous government investigations and the eventual resignation of President Richard Nixon. Gene Roberts\, former managing editor of The New York Times has called the work of Woodward and Bernstein “maybe the single greatest reporting effort of all time.” \nWoodward has authored or coauthored 16 non-fiction books in the last 36 years. All 16 have been national bestsellers and 12 of them have been #1 national non-fiction bestsellers – more #1 national non-fiction bestsellers than any contemporary author.

SUMMARY:Viktor Yushchenko\, former President of Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Viktor Yushchenko\, former President of Ukraine\, received the 2011 Dole Leadership Prize.\n“We are honored to give the Dole Leadership Prize to such a great cultural and revolutionary icon\,” said Bill Lacy\, director of the Dole Institute. “Yushchenko and the Orange Revolution ignited a fire for the people of Ukraine\, and his victory was a landmark for all of postcommunist eastern Europe.” \nYushchenko served as Prime Minister of Ukraine from 1999-2001.  During that time\, he addressed economic and social problems by lowering inflation\, advancing privatization\, and challenging corrupt practices.  Although he was a popular prime minister\, Yushchenko was forced out of office by higher ranking government officials.\nYushchenko responded by forming a broad-based democratic coalition called Our Ukraine\, which was victorious in the parliamentary elections in 2002. The newly organized opposition gave him a platform from which to mount a credible challenge to President Leonid Kuchma\, who had been accused of overseeing an increasingly corrupt administration. \nDuring his campaign for the presidency in 2004\, Yushchenko became seriously ill from dioxin poisoning in an apparent assassination attempt; his face was left permanently disfigured. Mass protests\, which became known as the Orange Revolution\, followed a runoff round in which Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych had been declared the winner of fraudulent elections. Thousands of Ukrainian citizens\, inspired by Yushchenko’s candidacy and their desire for democracy\, occupied the center of the capital city for weeks. The Supreme Court invalidated the falsified result and ordered a second runoff to be held in December 2004. Yushchenko was officially confirmed as the winner the following month. \nYushchenko’s victory was proof that a powerful civic movement\, committed opposition politicians\, and a resolute\, rising middle class had come together to stop the ruling elite from rigging an election and stealing Ukraine’s presidency.  The Orange Revolution was a groundbreaking milestone in the history of Eastern Europe since the fall of communism and inspired pro-democracy movements all over the world. \nThe 2011 Dole Leadership Prize was made possible in part through the generous support of Mr. and Mrs. Brian C. King of Leawood\, Kan.

SUMMARY:Wounded Warrior Project
DESCRIPTION:With the mission to honor and empower Wounded Warriors\, Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is the hand extended to encourage warriors as they achieve new triumphs. WWP was the recipient of the 2012 Dole Leadership Prize. Wounded Warriors\, a WWP advocate/caregiver and WWP’s executive director\, Steven Nardizzi\, joined us at the Dole Institute for an interview discussion and awarding of the prize.\nU.S. Army sniper Shane Parsons was prowling for IEDs in Baghdad when he pointed a Humvee down a desolate street to check out something that seemed out of the ordinary in a place marked by oddities of warfare. \nWhat happened next would send him on a challenging six-year journey to the Dole Institute of Politics at The University of Kansas\, where he offered a poignant recitation of life from injury into survival aided by the Wounded Warrior Project. The organization’s contributions to Parsons and thousands of other veterans making the adjustment to the civilian world on Sunday earned it the 2012 Dole Leadership Prize.

SUMMARY:2013 | In the Beginning: Three Men Who Made America
DESCRIPTION:A fascinating look at the Founding Fathers! Presidential historian and first permanent director of the Dole Institute\, Richard Norton Smith\, brought our first three presidents to life and helped us understand these men’s important contributions to the start of our nation. \n  \nPart One: George Washington\n2/10/2013 \n \nGeorge Washington was born on February 22\, 1732\, in Westmoreland County\, Virginia. Washington served as a general and commander-in-chief of the colonial armies during the American Revolution\, and later became the first president of the United States\, serving from 1789-1797. Washington’s first term in office was dominated by shaping the role of the president. He appointed the first presidential cabinet\, oversaw measures that Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton encouraged for solid financial grounding\, and designated a site for the nation’s new capital. Washington’s second term centered on foreign affairs\, and he wisely let his preference for neutrality be known. He dealt firmly with the Whiskey Rebellion and sent Chief Justice John Jay to England to negotiate an unpopular peace treaty with the British. He also asserted his distaste for emerging political parties\, which were coming to dominate the American system of government. Washington enjoyed three years of retirement at Mt. Vernon before his death on December 14\, 1799. \n  \nPart Two: John Adams\n2/12/2013 \n \nJohn Adams was born in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1735. A Harvard-educated lawyer\, he early became identified with the patriot cause. During the Revolutionary War he served in France and Holland in diplomatic roles\, and helped negotiate the treaty of peace. In 1788\, he returned from the Court of St. James to be elected Vice President under Washington. In 1796\, Adams became the second president of the U.S. During his presidency\, a war between the French and British was causing political difficulties for the U.S. Adams’ administration focused its diplomatic efforts on France\, whose government had suspended commercial relations. Adams sent three commissioners to France\, but the French refused to negotiate unless the U.S. agreed to pay what amounted to a bribe. When this became public knowledge\, the nation broke out in favor of war. By 1800\, Adams had become significantly less popular with the public. He lost his re-election campaign with only a few less electoral votes than Thomas Jefferson. Adams died on July 4\, 1826\, the 50th anniversary of American independence. \n  \nPart Three: Thomas Jefferson\n2/18/2013 \n \nThomas Jefferson was born in 1743 in Albemarle County\, Virginia\, inheriting from his father\, a planter and surveyor\, some 5\,000 acres of land\, and from his mother\, a Randolph\, high social standing. He studied at the College of William and Mary\, then read law. In 1772\, he married Martha Wayles Skelton and took her to live in his partly constructed mountaintop home\, Monticello. As the “silent member” of Congress\, Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence. In years following\, he labored to make its words a reality in Virginia. Most notably\, he wrote a bill establishing religious freedom\, enacted in 1786. As a reluctant candidate for President in 1796\, Jefferson came within three votes of election. But through a flaw in the Constitution\, he became Vice President\, although an opponent of President Adams. When Jefferson assumed the Presidency in 1801\, the crisis in France had passed. He slashed Army and Navy expenditures\, cut the budget\, eliminated the tax on whiskey\, reduced the national debt by a third\, and purchased the Louisiana Territory. Jefferson retired to Monticello\, and then died on July 4\, 1826.

SUMMARY:2015 | The First Woman President 2.0
DESCRIPTION:With attention turning toward the next presidential race\, we look at a question we first addressed nine years ago: Will the U.S. elect its first woman president? What unique challenges must women overcome to rise through the ranks to some of the highest positions in public service\, politics\, and business or to be President of the United States? Following the historic election of our first African-American President in 2008 we update the Dole Institute’s 2006 series on women in leadership and look at this possibility for 2016. \n  \nPart I: An Evening with Kathleen Sebelius\n2/12/2015 \n \nFormer Governor of Kansas and former Secretary of the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services\, Kathleen Sebelius\, will be interviewed about her journey in public service from her days in Kansas politics to her presidential appointment in Washington\, and the challenges she faced in her two pivotal executive roles. \n  \nPart II: The New Paradigm for Women’s Political Success with Adrienne Kimmell\n2/17/2015 \n \nExecutive director of the nonpartisan Barbara Lee Family Foundation\, Adrienne Kimmell\, joins us to look at how research is helping women candidates utilize advantages unique to their gender to tailor ads\, speeches and messaging into successful campaigns. From personal traits\, to actions that convey qualification and likeability\, to recovery from mistakes\, this program will look at what it takes for women to seek and win elective office. \n  \nPart III: Women Legislative Leadership with panelists Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter\, Beka Romm & Joan Wagnon\n2/24/2015 \n \nDole Institute associate director and State Representative\, Barbara Ballard\, will moderate this discussion on leadership\, time pressures\, and what it takes to successfully lead on the local\, state\, and federal levels.

SUMMARY:2016 | They Also Ran: America’s Would-Be Presidents
DESCRIPTION:In the 2016 Presidential Lecture Series\, noted presidential historian and former Dole Institute director Richard Norton Smith returns this spring to examine the politicians who were nominated to America’s highest office but never elected. Covering their careers and the reasons behind their losses\, this timely four-part series will shed light on the impact of presidential elections on U.S. politics. \n  \nPart One: The 19th Century\n1/31/2016 \n \nIn the 1800s\, three men ran for President of the United States a combined nine times\, but never claimed the prize. Though Henry Clay\, James G. Blaine and William Jennings Bryan’s presidential candidacies failed\, their historical contributions and careers inspired millions. \n  \nPart Two: Governors of New York\n2/1/2016 \n \nThe beginning of the 20th century saw the rise of New York’s influence on United States politics\, along with the start of America’s love/hate relationship with the Empire State. Three New York governors in Charles Evans Hughes\, Thomas E. Dewey and Al Smith became key leaders across the political spectrum. \n  \nPart Three: Influence in Defeat\n4/25/2016 \n \nAdlai Stevenson and Barry Goldwater were polar opposites in many ways. One was from the left and the other the right\, but both possessed devoted followers and had profound influence on their party’s development in the mid-20th century. \n  \nPart Four: The Contemporary Midwesterners\n4/26/2016 \n \nSmith wraps up the series by bringing us to modern times with Hubert Humphrey\, George McGovern and Robert Dole\, three native Midwesterners who had a historical impact that far exceeded their electoral vote.

SUMMARY:2017 | The U.S. and the Great War: 100 Years Later
DESCRIPTION:On April 2\, 1917\, President Woodrow Wilson asked a joint session of Congress to make the world “safe for democracy.” Four days later\, the United States entered World War I\, one of the deadliest wars in American history. The 2017 Presidential Lecture Series will welcome expert guest lecturers to dive inside U.S. involvement in the Great War and the ways in which the war effort touched all levels of society. \n  \nAmerica’s Road to War\n2/2/2017 \n \nWhen war broke out in Europe in 1914\, the U.S. stood on the sidelines as President Wilson asked his fellow citizens to remain neutral “in thought as well as in deed.” Michael Neiberg\, noted scholar and chair of war studies in the U.S. Army War College\, introduces our lecture series\, exploring the complex paths of politics\, economics and cultural divisions that came together and brought America into the war less than three years later. \n  \nA Giant with Feet of Clay: The American Military in the Great War\n2/9/2017 \n \nThe story of how the U.S. Army sought to transform itself over the course of 18 months into a comparable or superior military force to the European armies is grounded in irony. Richard Faulkner\, professor with the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College\, lays out how the American Expeditionary Forces played a pivotal role in the brutal campaigns that led to Germany’s defeat on the battlefield. \n  \nAmericans All: The Homefront in World War I\n2/16/2017 \n \nIn America\, World War I brought expanded involvement in global politics\, the experience of modern warfare—and equally important domestic changes. Noted scholar from Chapman College Jennifer Keene will discuss the responses of Americans to the introduction of the draft\, economic mobilization\, the patriotism crusade and its effects and much more. \n  \nBoldness and Frailty: Woodrow Wilson’s Fight for the League of Nations\n2/23/2017 \n \nAcclaimed biographer of Woodrow Wilson and professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin\, John Milton Cooper closes the series by painting a portrait of Wilson and his transformative leadership. Wilson guided the nation through World War I and sought to bring about an international system to ensure lasting peace. He arguably established a new way of thinking about international relations that\, 25 years later\, ushered in the United Nations.

SUMMARY:2017 SPRING | President Trump: The First 100 Days
DESCRIPTION:Dole Fellows Henry “C.J.” Jackson and Johanna Maska \nRead more about Dole Fellows >> \nFresh off a dramatic election season\, KU alums Henry “C.J.” Jackson and Johanna Maska will examine and interpret the first 100 days of the Trump administration as they happen. Jackson and Maska will welcome a who’s-who of Washington insiders and reporters to explore a complex season in U.S. politics. \n  \n  \nA Nation in Transition\n3/1/2017 \n \nWhite House and presidential campaign veteran Johanna Maska and veteran political journalist C.J. Jackson will focus on presidential transitions and explore what’s unique about the new Trump White House. The pair will examine how Washington D.C. changes with a new administration\, how new presidents build relationships (or don’t)\, and how they adjust to the trappings of their office. Both KU alums\, Maska and Jackson will also discuss their careers and personal transitions as they moved to Washington D.C. in 2009\, sharing experiences while balancing professional obligations—and sometimes national security guidance. \n  \nThe New “Race”\n3/15/2017 \n \nFormer Deputy Social Secretary and State Department official Samantha Tubman traveled at President Barack Obama’s side throughout the 2008 campaign\, working on his presidential transition before taking on key roles in the White House and State Department. She joins Dole Fellow C.J. Jackson to discuss the rapid transformation from a campaign to governing. Jackson and Tubman will explore the new “race” to enact policy\, the challenges of a presidential transition\, and Tubman’s path as a young person engaging with politics to the White House and beyond. \n  \nEntering the White House\n3/29/2017 \n \nWith guest Greg Jenkins – Founder\, North Bay Strategies; Deputy Assistant to George W. Bush \nTwo former White House aides—one from each major party—break down what a presidential transition looks like from the inside. As a former deputy assistant to President George W. Bush\, Greg Jenkins traveled the world helping to craft and hone a president’s message. Dole fellow Johanna Maska\, who held a similar role for President Obama\, will lead a discussion on the demands of working in the White House as the beginning of a new administration. \n  \nMeet the Press\n4/5/2017 \n \nNPR White House correspondent Scott Horsley\, Republican communications strategist Tim Miller and Dole fellow Johanna Maska will look at the relationship between politics\, government and the press. They will focus on what’s unique in Trump’s emerging relationship with the press and what challenges any administration’s press corps would face. This discussion will focus on the important role of the media\, the obligations of those in political communications and how history is made and recorded. \n  \nInside the Situation Room and the Importance of Presidential Language\n4/19/2017 \n \nFormer White House deputy director of speechwriting and lead National Security Council speechwriter Terry Szuplat joins Dole fellow C.J. Jackson to talk about how presidents form a national security message. Szuplat will discuss what it is like to be in the Situation Room in a crisis and how presidents craft their messages for an international audience. Szuplat will also analyze the Trump administration’s approach to international relations and talk about the issues that have already emerged. \n  \nAt Home and Abroad: the Global Presidency\n4/26/2017 \n \nFormer National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden joins Dole fellow C.J. Jackson to discuss how presidents manage an international audience. Hayden\, who has worked across national security positions in government\, will examine how the Trump administration approaches diplomacy\, how the presidential transition affects international relationships and more. \n  \nThe Loyal Opposition\n5/3/2017 \n \nThe final discussion group of the semester will focus on the party out of power\, looking at how the minority party has reacted to big political changes. What tactics do minority parties use to stay relevant\, or effect change? How do they develop their relationships with a new president–or how don’t they? How do new presidents work with (or not work with) the opposition party? Former Director of State Campaigns and Political Engagement for Hillary Clinton and KU graduate Marlon Marshall joins Dole fellows C.J. Jackson and Johanna Maska to talk about how the “out” party adjusts to a new president and what they do to stay relevant.

SUMMARY:2017 SUMMER | Beyond the Border: U.S.-Mexico Relations
DESCRIPTION:Dole Fellow Christina Luhn \nRead more about Dole Fellows >> \nFor many\, the U.S.-Mexico border presents a problem\, for others\, an economic opportunity. An expert in cross-border economic development\, Christina Luhn will lead a summer discussion group series exploring the relationship between the U.S. and Mexico with a focus on border security\, immigration and trade. \n  \n  \n  \nThe Value of Bi-National Collaboration\n5/24/2017 \n \nBecause the international border falls under federal jurisdiction\, decisions are made far from the border in the respective capitals of Washington\, D.C. and Mexico City. Yet these decisions not only impact the borderlands but also the rest of America\, including Kansas and other midwestern states. In this discussion\, Alfonso Navarro-Bernachi\, Mexican Consul General in Kansas City\, brings a unique perspective to understanding the value of bi-national collaboration. A distinguished member of Mexico’s Foreign Service\, Navarro-Bernachi has served in consulates in several border states including California and Arizona and will share his insights on collaboration from firsthand experience. \n  \nTrade and the Border: the Value of NAFTA\n5/31/2017 \n \nRecent political and economic rhetoric has focused on how globalization and NAFTA have cost many Americans their jobs. What is often missing in these emotionally charged narratives are the many jobs that are created and supported by trade. With Mexico recently becoming the largest export market for Kansas\, a repeal of NAFTA could have catastrophic consequences for Kansas economy. In this discussion\, Christopher Wilson\, Deputy Director of the Mexico Institute at The Wilson Center in Washington\, D.C.\, brings a researcher’s perspective to help sort through trade myth from reality and discuss possible policy solutions to address some of the more glaring issues associated with trade. \n  \nLife along the Border: A Separate Reality?\n6/21/2017 \n \nWhile there are many positive economic opportunities for bi-national collaboration\, this is not the reality for many who struggle with border conditions. This discussion with Andy Carey\, executive director of the U.S.-Mexico Border Philanthropy Partnership\, will provide a deeper understanding of this reality and how some of these complex problems are being addressed. Carey brings a breadth of experience in his years working the entire U.S.-Mexico border to grow community philanthropy\, leadership and cross-border collaboration in order to increase the human and financial capital needed to address the complex issues facing the region. \n  \nBorderlands: Why should Kansans and Midwesterners care about the Border?\n6/28/2017 \n \nThis session is designed to provide a deeper understanding of the U.S.-Mexico border and key issues\, with special emphasis on historical context. In this discussion\, Raul Rodriguez\, Chairman of the Board of the U.S.-Mexico Foundation in New York City and former President of the North American Development Bank\, brings his long and distinguished career of working on important bi-national issues to help explain how we got here today and what is special about the U.S.-Mexico border. \n  \nSecurity\, Immigration\, Trade and the Border\n7/11/2017 \n \nThis session will provide deeper understanding of key issues around border security\, trade and immigration. Is the proposed wall realistic and would it achieve what its proponents suggest? Are security\, immigration and trade mutually exclusive or can we have all three? In this discussion\, Alan Bersin\, former U.S. Assistant Secretary for International Affairs\, brings his vast federal experience to a discussion about the intersection of security\, immigration and trade. Having served in the Obama and the Clinton Administrations\, Bersin has learned a great deal about what works\, what doesn’t and what might be on the horizon.
