First of all, I just greatly admire him! There isn't a public President Haas and a private one. He's whole in that way, and the community has come to know that over time. He's everything we would want in a leader. President Haas has always made me feel like an incredibly valued member of the intellectual community here at Grand Valley and proves to be actively and genuinely engaged in faculty, staff, and students. He's personally called me his "friend" and each time he sees me at an event, he always makes his way over to speak. Congratulations, President Haas!
