Hauenstein gives
major gift to center
Longtime Grand Valley
supporter Ralph W. Hauenstein
made another substantial
investment into the university's
Hauenstein Center for
Presidential Studies.
Hauenstein made the initial
investment to begin the
center, which is celebrating
its 10th anniversary. The
goal of the center is to teach
ethical leadership skills to the
next generation of leaders
while engaging students
and the community alike in
stimulating conversations
about history, politics and
the greater civic good.
Hauenstein's $1 million gift,
given in December, will
help enhance and expand
academic and event-based
learning opportunities for
the leaders of tomorrow.
"I have ample opportunities
to invest in many worthwhile
programs and projects,
but I can think of no better
investment than the one to
ensure our future leaders
are wise and ethical,"
Hauenstein said.
Hauenstein served under
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in
an intelligence role in World
War II and was one of the first
Americans into liberated Paris.
Hauenstein became
successful in business after
the war. He owned Werner
Lehara of Grand Rapids, a food
equipment manufacturer that
produced Goldfish crackers,
Andes mints, windmill cookies,
pastas, and many other foods
familiar to Americans. At the
age of 101, Hauenstein has
never retired and continues
his philanthropic endeavors
throughout West Michigan.
"The Hauenstein Center
for Presidential Studies is an
incubator for leaders of the
future, and Ralph Hauenstein's
investment into the Center for

Center for Presidential Studies. Hauenstein
gave a major gift to the center in December.
Presidential Studies ensures
our ability to continue to do
good, meaningful work in
the world of leadership and
ethics," President Thomas J.
Haas said. "On top of his initial
gift, this is a very substantial
commitment to the center on
its 10th anniversary from a
very involved philanthropist
and friend."
Students who have benefited
from the Hauenstein Center's
mission of ethical leadership
development currently occupy
prominent roles in business,
government, communications
and nonprofit organizations.
The center has hosted
hundreds of programs over
the past 10 years, including
notable events like Hitchens
v. Hitchens, presentations by
several first ladies, Madeleine
Albright, Gen. Brent Scowcroft
and others.
