Grand Valley State University’s Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies, along with the Gerald R. Ford Foundation and Museum and the Acton Institute, will host noted presidential author and Forbes columnist Amity Shlaes at an event on November 21.

Shlaes will present a provocative examination of Calvin Coolidge and the decade of unparalleled growth that the nation saw under his leadership, and will discuss what qualities the 30th president had that could help modern-day politicians.
