The lecture, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. May 2 at the Dole Institute of Politics, is free to the public, but tickets are required. This is the fourth year for the Dole Lecture, with previous speakers including former President Bill Clinton, who delivered the inaugural lecture in 2004, and former Sen. Bob Dole.
