LAWRENCE – The University of Kansas Public Management Center has announced the fall 2020 Emerging Leaders Academy (ELA) graduates. The graduation ceremony was held virtually Dec. 11 due to safety concerns around COVID-19.
The 36 graduates come from various public sector organizations across Kansas and the Kansas City metropolitan area, including government agencies at the local, state and federal levels, as well as nonprofit organizations. The fall session began in late August and met weekly online in Wednesday or Friday cohorts.
ELA is a program targeted to promising, nonmanagerial staff to help them prepare for leadership roles in their departments and agencies. Participants meet together 10 times over four months, with classes designed to help them hone their skills for positions of increasing responsibility while also growing their effectiveness in their current roles.
As protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, supporters of President Donald Trump rallied at the Kansas Statehouse in Topeka peacefully.
The rally began in early afternoon and while most of the demonstrators left the grounds about 1 p.m., a few dozen entered the building with signs and flags in support of the president. They moved around the building peacefully, observing the building and talking among themselves as multiple Capitol Police officers observed from afar.
Capt. Amber Harrington, who heads the Kansas Highway Patrol s Capitol Police, said television news reports that protesters breached the Statehouse were inaccurate and noted that they were permitted to enter the building in the event of inclement weather.
