The vision of the COLE Dorothea F. Peterjohn Leadership Library is to serve as a leading resource of leadership and ethics for academics, practitioners and students.

COLE also seeks out new materials from respected authors, scholars and business leaders worldwide as they are available to provide the most relevant and practical information for use in research and practice. Leadership and ethics books and articles are available for circulation at the Fuqua School of Business Ford Library.
The Dorothea F. Peterjohn Leadership Library was created in May of 2005 with a generous donation in honor of Dorothea F. Peterjohn.
