This spring, we were thrilled to celebrate the newest class of Peter C. Cook Leadership Academy Fellows. The class of 2023 represents a cohort of students who have emerged from their time at the university as true representations of Ralph Hauenstein and Peter C. Cook’s shared vision of leadership for the twenty-first century. As our fellows prepare to enter their next season of life, we gathered to celebrate the impact they have made on the Grand Valley community. This year’s graduation celebration keynote brought the voice and impact of the CLA front and center with a leadership lesson given by CLA alum Dana Eardley ‘16, Executive Director of the Fulton Street Farmers Market.
