An Evening with Dale Butland: Reflections on Sen. John Glenn’s Senate Legacy

Join the John Glenn College of Public Affairs and The Ohio State University Libraries for a conversation with longtime U.S. Senate staff member Dale Butland, who served alongside Senator John Glenn for more than two decades. 

Drawing on his firsthand experiences, his recent memoir When Ohio Was Blue, and the Ohio Public Policy Archives Congressional Staff Oral History Project, Butland will reflect on Senator Glenn's leadership, approach to public service and the work of a U.S. Senate office during a transformative period in American history. The discussion will explore the people, policymaking and public service behind the headlines while highlighting the importance of preserving these stories through oral history. 

This program offers a unique opportunity to gain historical insight into Senator Glenn's legacy and the enduring values of public service through the perspective of someone who worked closely with him throughout his Senate career. 

This event is free to attend, but registration is requested.
