Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics

About Us

The Dole Institute is a vibrant forum for civil discourse, civic engagement and exchanging ideas across the political spectrum. In addition to public exhibits and programming, we are a vital resource for KU students who participate in experiential learning, mentoring, and leadership opportunities, all of which are led by nationally recognized political leaders and practitioners. We also provide Kansas youth and educators leadership resources and programs. The Institute is open to the public to explore exhibits on Bob and Elizabeth Dole’s legacy and engaging special exhibits that bring politics and history into focus for all ages.
