Professor emeritus Peggy Vandenberg is proud of having been, in 1991, the first of the many distinguished Western Michigan University graduates earning a master's degree in philosophy. Later, along with earning her Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Utah, Vandenberg taught philosophy at Grand Valley State University, retiring in April 2019. During her 25 years at GVSU, Vandenberg received a teaching excellence award and was active on numerous university committees.

Vandenberg has been a regular presenter at the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics. She co-edited and contributed to the Routledge 2015 volume, Developing Moral Sensitivity (with Deborah S. Mower and Wade L. Robison). In 2012, she co-directed (with Deborah S. Mower) the 14^th International Conference for the Society for Ethics Across the Curriculum (SEAC) and the 19^th International SEAC Conference in 2017, both at Grand Valley State University. In 2015, she co-directed with Deborah Mower a four-week National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Institute, Moral Psychology: Putting the Humanities to Work. She is a contributor and reviewer for the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy and also has reviewed for Teaching Ethics and the NEH. Her presentations and publications are primarily on the ethical theories of the 18^th century Scots: Francis Hutcheson, David Hume, Adam Smith, and Thomas Reid. Three notable publications are “Relationships and the Spectator Perspectives in Hutcheson, Hume, and Smith” in Cultura: International Journal of Philosophy of Culture and Axiology, “Reid and Hume in Agreement on Moral Foundations” in the Journal of Scottish Thought (University of Aberdeen Press 2011), and “A Humean Look at Feminist’s Ethics” Special European Legacy Edition on Hume (Routledge, June 2013).
