Albright visited Grand Rapids in 2013 to receive one of Grand Valley State University's most prestigious awards. She was presented with the Colonel Ralph W. Hauenstein Fellowship Medalduring a ceremony at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum.
During her visit, Albright spoke to an audience during an hour-long event titled "A History of Diplomacy with Madeleine Albright."
