LAWRENCE – The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas will host its annual Easter Egg Roll with Dole from March 5 through April 3 with a mix of in-person and online components. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the egg roll celebration will be modified this year to recreate the activities at the institute to increase safety.
To reduce group sizes, instead of a single event, the institute will be open to families throughout March. Online elements have been added.
The Easter Egg Roll’s Facebook event page will be updated over the course of the month, with Easter-themed videos, crafts, coloring pages and more. Participants are encouraged to tag the Dole Institute to share their experiences using the hashtag #rollwithdole in their social media posts.

Lawrence resident Ben Turner’s most recent meal consisted of beans and cornbread, and his two kids have been relying mostly on the cafeteria food and small cartons of milk the school district has been handing out to families during the coronavirus pandemic.
Like others, Turner has been waiting on extended unemployment benefits from the Kansas Department of Labor, which were funded by the federal coronavirus stimulus package approved by Congress at the end of December. He hopes the money will hit his account soon, but it’s been weeks, and he’s losing sleep as food runs low and expenses pile up.
For the first time in recent history, few official events and activities have been planned at the University of Kansas to recognize Black History Month. Niya McAdoo, the head of the Black Student Coalition, said this is a direct result of COVID-19 making in-person gatherings difficult, if not impossible.
While safety concerns in a pandemic are understandable, McAdoo said KU could have done more through the month of February to celebrate Black History Month by organizing online gatherings to recognize the contributions of Black Americans.
âItâs very disheartening,â McAdoo said. âEspecially during Black History Month when they were so adamant over the summer about standing with the Black communities in the wake of police brutality.â
