About Lehigh

Peter Likins

(1982-1997)

Peter Likins, who served as provost at Columbia University before becoming president, sought to complete the "transformation" of Lehigh that began under Deming Lewis. The university dedicated the Zoellner Arts Center; the Rauch Business Center became home to the College of Business and Economics; and Lehigh doubled its size with the purchase of the 800-acre Mountaintop Campus.
