News, Radio Talk Shows, and Through Its Publications mcconnell center — a new beginning for a continuing mission Foreword By James Ramsey President, University of Louisville As the President of the University of Louisville, I am proud to contribute this Foreword. The McConnell Center has had a tremendously successful first fifteen years, and with the Center’s move into its new headquarters in Ekstrom Library, it really is an appropriate time for a word on moving forward. Quite simply, the McConnell Center is one of the most exciting programs on campus. It enriches all of our lives through the students it helps us recruit and its programs and publications that enlighten and entertain. With its new teaching and learning spaces, the Center is already helping the University move forward with richer partnerships in the community and adding in its own way to our growing national prestige. It is fitting that the University have a center of excellence on campus named after one of our most prestigious alumni. Mitch McConnell has never forgotten his days as a student leader and never shrinks from helping his alma mater. His service to our community is a model of how men and women at the peak of their professional lives can still find time to touch other lives and leave their worlds a little better than they found it. The McConnell Center has given more than $1.7 million in scholarships over the last fifteen years and impacted nearly every corner of our Commonwealth. McConnell Scholars have come from 66 counties across Kentucky and represent a diverse and talented group of young leaders. In our increasingly shrinking world, the McConnell Center has helped our students travel to China, Scotland, Belize, South Africa, Ghana, India, Germany, Italy, Japan, Ireland, Mexico, Portugal, and Venezuela. Among its speakers have been four Secretaries of State, a member of the United States Supreme Court, Pulitzer- prize winning authors, and various ambassadors, cabinet members, and even one Head of Government. As the University of Louisville continues its march to national prominence, I am pleased the McConnell Center will be helping to lead the way forward. 1 mcconnell center — a new beginning for a continuing mission A Letter From Mitch McConnell Louisville has been my home town since I was eight years old. It was not hard for me to decide that I wanted to stay here through my college years and then to settle down and begin a career of public service. Many people contributed to the education I received back when the University was a fraction of its current size and was relatively unheralded nationally. After achieving my goal of serving Kentucky in the United States Senate, I wanted to give something back to help the University give even better opportunities to the young people that began coming through their door thirty years after I left. In those early days we had to raise money for nothing but a dream. Thanks to those early donors and the leadership of the only two directors the program has known, Paul Weber and Gary Gregg, that dream has been met and exceeded numerous times over. More than 100 students have now received scholarships to attend the University of Louisville. Many of them have gone on to prestigious graduate, medical, and law schools. Some have decided to work in government or non-profits and others are beginning to have families and are becoming leaders in their communities. I am as proud of the development of the McConnell Center as anything with which I have been involved. With the continued strong support of President James Ramsey, Provost Shirley Willinghanz, and the University’s Board of Trustees, I know the Center will continue to grow as it holds fast to its ultimate mission of serving Kentucky by nurturing its next generation of leaders. Senator McConnell and Secretary Chao tailgate with students prior to a Cardinal football game. 3 mcconnell center — a new beginning for a continuing mission A Letter From A Letter From Gary L.

It is clear they are well informed on the matters of world affairs and foreign policy! The center does such crucial work preparing today’s young people for positions of civic responsibility. I hope my visit encouraged some of your students to consider careers in foreign affairs and perhaps internships with the Department of State.

Nearly all significant policy innovations in U.S. politics face formidable structural veto-points, cross-cutting interest group pressures, and deep partisan divides. Yet comprehensive immigration reform has proven especially difficult to achieve over time, despite wide agreement that the existing immigration system is flawed and in need of a drastic overhaul. For decades, congressional efforts to enact broad policy changes for the nation’s undocumented population have followed a tortured path of false starts, prolonged negotiation, and frustrating stalemate.

Roger Petersen Chair, Graduate Program Committee The Golden Lariat: Explaining American Aid to Israel by Richard Kraus Submitted to the Department of Political Science on September 14, 2009 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Political Science ABSTRACT An observational study was conducted to determine the most likely explanation of American support for Israel. Several extant hypotheses were considered, most particularly, and at greatest length, that of a pro-Israel domestic lobby in the United States, but also that it had to do with Cold War containment, common values, or precedent. It was ultimately concluded that the domestic lobby hypothesis could not account for American support, since the level of that support correlated negatively with the resources of the lobby, and because sudden, temporary changes in the level of American support did not coincide with any similar changes in the resources of the lobby.

  • THE MCCONNELL CENTER Where Teaching History & Making History Come Together
    THE MCCONNELL CENTER Where Teaching History & Making History Come Together 1 FROM THE DESK OF PRESIDENT RAMSEY It is the goal of every institution of higher learning to prepare its students to take their place on the local, state and national stages. For generations, students have found their political voices and a lifelong calling on college campuses and learned how public policy and advocacy shape our country. The University of Louisville has been proud to be the home of the McConnell Center for more than 20 years, exposing students to a variety of viewpoints from some of the most important and influential leaders of their time. In addition to learning from the best and the brightest, the center has provided more than 200 students with $3 million dollars in scholarship money over the last two decades. In the same way UofL strives to change and better the world around us, the McConnell Center has improved the university, while affecting the larger community in significant and lasting ways. The center’s high profile reputation and prestigious guest speakers continually shines a bright light on our city, while providing our future leaders access to insight and advice from national and international leaders. The center also has established a permanent lecture series, free and open to the public, on a variety of important public policy topics. As the center continues to expand its role on campus and in our community, I ask that you join me in lending our support to Dr. Gary Gregg and his team, now and in the years ahead.
