SUMMARY:Dole & Dr. K: A Story of Loss and Recovery Turned Advocacy for Armenia
DESCRIPTION:This special exhibit will be closing on February 1\, 2026\, to prepare for a new special exhibit. Make plans to visit the Dole Institute’s Museum & Galleries\, open Tuesday through Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.\, by visiting our website. \n\nCan’t make it to see this exhibit? View the online exhibit on Dole Collections Online → \n\nA young Bob Dole\, searching for a fuller recovery from grave World War II injuries\, connected with Armenian surgeon Dr. Hampar Kelikian. Over the course of seven surgeries in seven years\, “Dr. K” shared his story of loss and renewal around the 1915 Armenian Genocide—inspiring Dole as he worked to reimagine his future and build a new life. \nKelikian’s lessons resonated with Dole in the decades following as he entered public service. Throughout his time in the U.S. Senate\, Dole championed Armenia\, including calling for official recognition of the Armenian Genocide – despite long odds and competing national interests. \nThis exhibit is based on the research of Michael Bobelian\, who served as the Dole Archives Fellow for Armenian Advocacy in 2018. Mr. Bobelian is the author of “Children of Armenia: A Forgotten Genocide and the Century-Long Struggle for Justice.”

SUMMARY:Tanks and Trenches: Armored Warfare in WWI
DESCRIPTION:The tank was one of the most iconic weapons of the 20th century. While it was a dominate weapon on the battlefields of Europe and the Middle East from World War II and beyond\, its origins were deeply tied to the realities of the Western Front of the Great War This lecture will examine how the need to overcome the defensive power of trench warfare led to the creation of the tank and why\, despite many technological advances in tank design throughout the war\,  the battlefield performance of armored warfare during the conflict was quite mixed. \nDr. Richard S. Faulkner is a Professor of Military History and has taught at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College (CGSC) for over 21 years. He served 23 years in the U.S. Army and commanded a tank company in the 1st Armored Division during Operation Desert Storm.  He is the author of The School of Hard Knocks: Combat Leadership in the American Expeditionary Forces (Texas A&M Press\, 2012)\, which was the recipient of the Society for Military History’s 2013 Distinguished Book Award. His second book\, Pershing’s Crusaders: The American Soldier in World War I (University Press of Kansas\, 2017) received the World War I Association’s 2017 Norman B. Tomlinson\, Jr. Prize for the best work of history in English on World War One\, the Organization of American Historians’ 2017 Richard W. Leopold Prize\, and the Army Historical Foundation’s 2017 Excellence in U.S. Army History Book Award. \nThe Ft. Leavenworth Series is an annual roster of lectures focusing on significant historical events\, usually with an emphasis on military history. Each lecture is presented by faculty from the United States Army Command and General Staff College in Ft. Leavenworth\, Kansas. Established by General William Tecumseh Sherman in 1881\, the CGSC is the graduate college for U.S. Army and sister service officers. The esteemed faculty and guests of the CGSC provide unique and captivating insights into the history of military conflict from the ancient to the modern ages at the Dole Institute of Politics. \n  \n\n  \nThe opinions expressed herein are those of the individual and do not necessarily represent the views of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College or any other governmental agency.

SUMMARY:Affordable Housing in America
DESCRIPTION:Fueled by high home prices and rents\, a limited supply of affordable homes\, and persistent regulatory and financing hurdles\, families across the nation are finding it harder than ever to secure safe\, decent\, and affordable housing. Millions of American families spend more than half their income on housing\, while entry-level homeownership remains out of reach for many—a reality that threatens economic stability and upward mobility. \nAs local\, state\, and federal policymakers scramble to respond\, the question of what works has become urgent. The challenge is amplified by the need for solutions that not only increase housing production but also preserve existing affordable homes and help families with insufficient incomes cover high housing costs. \nJoin us at the Dole Institute as our two visiting fellows break down what’s at stake and why housing policy will remain a defining issue for years to come at every level of government. \n  \n \nThis program is presented in partnership with the Bipartisan Policy Center. \n  \n\n  \nMichael Kelley is a senior director at BPC Action. Before joining in 2021\, he held several senior roles at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development\, advising top officials on congressional and intergovernmental affairs. He previously served as deputy chief of staff and legislative director to Rep. Marlin Stutzman and as a legislative assistant to Rep. Steve Buyer. Kelley also brings experience from the Natural Products Association\, Mayer Brown\, and the Moffett Group. A Virginia native\, he holds a B.A. in History from the University of Virginia. \nAndy Winkler is managing director of housing and infrastructure at BPC\, where he leads the Housing Council and Task Force on Disaster Response Reform. Since joining BPC in 2015\, he has worked on infrastructure\, senior housing\, and housing finance reform. Previously\, he was director of housing finance policy at the American Action Forum. Winkler holds a B.A. from the University of Missouri.

SUMMARY:Journalism and Civic Engagement: Is There a Connection and Should There Be?
DESCRIPTION:In a world where “fake news” seems to be a permanent part of our lexicon and where individuals don’t always agree on facts\, what role should the media play in civic engagement? Does the fourth estate have a duty in our system of checks and balances? In this conversation with two accomplished journalists\, we’ll consider how storytelling\, fact-checking\, and mass media are changing\, and whether reporting the news and reporters on newsmakers should be connected to civic engagement.  \n  \n\n  \nJohn Holt anchors Fox 4 News at 5\, 6\, and 9 p.m. at Fox 4 Kansas City. He also hosts the weekly public affairs show “4 The People\,” co-hosts “KC Endzone” during the Chiefs’ season\, and is a special projects reporter. John graduated from the University of Kansas Schools of Journalism and Law. \nMary Sanchez is a national syndicated columnist with Tribune Content Agency and a familiar face and voice in Kansas City media. Sanchez’s contributions include time as the senior reporter for Kansas City PBS and a metro columnist for The Kansas City Star\, member of the Star’s editorial board\, in addition to her years spent reporting on race\, class\, criminal justice and educational issues. She’s a frequent moderator for important civic conversations hosted by American Public Square\, also serving on the organization’s board. APS seeks to build community through civil\, fact-based discourse. Sanchez is a mentor with Report for America\, pairing with early career journalists as they enter the profession and has written columns for the Poynter Institute\, helping others to report deeper and with nuance on issues of race\, ethnicity\, immigration\, and culture wars\, especially within politics. Sanchez is a native of Kansas City and has also lived in Mexico\, the country of her father’s birth.
