Dr. Gregg expressed his commitment to making the McConnell program a model of excellence at the University and throughout the nation. He highlighted a monograph written by Senator Robert Byrd and published by the McConnell Center, with a foreword from Senator McConnell, Congress. Senator Byrd, deeply moved by his visit to the McConnell Center, wanted to do something lasting for the University and this outstanding program. Dr. Gregg noted that the array of speakers brought to the University is rigorously bipartisan.
