Lehigh hired John Ochs in 1979 to develop labs and improve its approach to design education. Ochs did that and more: He founded the Technical Entrepreneurship (TE) program and brought the Kern Engineering Entrepreneurship Network (KEEN) to Lehigh. Ochs is retiring after 40 years of impact. “It’s time to let other people—the next generation—figure out how to keep improving engineering entrepreneurship education, and I wish them all the best,” he says.
After receiving her Ph.D. from Lehigh's College of Business and Economics, Lea Giménez '12 Ph.D. found herself far from South Mountain serving her native country of Paraguay in a critical and unprecedented way—as Vice Minister of Economy in the Ministry of Finance.
