When Elise Fredericks ’18 walked onto the Women’s Varsity Rowing team, she brought the work ethic and spirit of leadership that would eventually lead her to being named co-captain and to the Academic All-Patriot League. Fredericks, a supply chain management and marketing major, also applied this mindset to her work as a University Admissions Fellow as well as a Peer Mentor in the College of Business and Economics. She believes the competitive edge she brings to the marketplace comes from the opportunities she took advantage of at Lehigh.
Kiran Singh ’18 thrives on opportunities to help her community. Her impact begins with incoming students as a Student Orientation Leader, continues as she helps students develop their writing skills in her role as a TRAC Fellow and she “leads with integrity” as president of the Women in Business club. After graduating with a double major in finance and management and a minor in global studies, Singh is heading to Deloitte in Washington, D.C. and plans to explore social entrepreneurship.
As a journalism and global studies major, it’s no surprise that first-generation college student Klaudia Jazwinska ’18 would take the opportunity to travel abroad during her time at Lehigh. But it was her intellect, passion and leadership that took her to Uganda, India, Brazil and Italy, and will now take her, as a prestigious Marshall Scholar, to the United Kingdom. There she will pursue a Master of Science in computational and data journalism at Cardiff University and a Master of Philosophy in international relations and politics at the University of Cambridge.
Between playing club soccer, tutoring students through the Community Service Office, and being actively involved in the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Cultural Greek Council, graduate student Scott Grant ’16 ’18G credits his role as President of Kappa Alpha Psi for helping him grow the most as a person and a leader here at Lehigh. Grant will graduate this year with a master’s degree in healthcare systems engineering and join Merck, where he landed a spot in the competitive three-year Manufacturing Leadership Development Program.
Jason Pollack ’18, an English major and economics minor, saw his opportunity to learn at Lehigh just a little bit differently. While Pollack dove into his academics like any other ambitious Lehigh student, he also thought the opportunity to learn from other students was even bigger. Through Pollack’s work as a TRAC fellow, he relished in the opportunity to engage with others and grow from their perspectives. This purposeful and open-minded approach was evident in his role as Editor-in-Chief when he brought a new vision to the 2018 Lehigh Review.
