Congratulations Graduating Scholars from all of us at the Graham Institute!
Recently, Graham leaders recognized graduating Sustainability Scholars achievements remotely. Pictured above, (left to right) Alex Haddad (Communications Manager), Jennifer Haverkamp (Director), Elizabeth LaPorte (Education Program Manager), and Katelin Davis (Development Director) all congratulated thegraduating Scholars that participated in the remote celebration. Jennifer Haverkamp remarked on how important it is for Scholars to continue to be actively engaged throughout their lives.
"In order to solve the inextricably-connected problems we have at home, we need an actively engaged, globally-savvy citizenry. As a sustainability leader and with your education, you are exactly what an engaged citizenry needs. We need you to keep your colleagues, friends, and family well-informed about global and national events..."
"Graham Scholars Class of 2020, go boldly forth and embrace what awaits you. All of us here today can’t wait to see what you do with your enormous gifts, your fine Michigan education, and your sustainability leadership experience. You are primed to make a real difference. You fill us with pride, and with enormous hope for the world’s people and the planet’s future."
