The Kohl Initiative, funded by former U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl, focuses on three La Follette School priorities: to expand its public outreach mission, to advance the training of future public leaders, and to support influential research by faculty and students. The Kohl Initiative demonstrates Sen. Kohl’s deep commitment to public service and his ethos of civility in public debate and policymaking.
