Thankful for Lehigh

It’s November! A time of fall, food, family, and—of course—Lehigh-Lafayette festivities, which are in full swing. Last week, more than 60 gigantic boxes left our offices bound for destinations ranging from London to Waikiki, filled with Brown & White goodies that will bring a little bit of Lehigh to our worldwide telecast parties.

On campus, tradition reigns. Spirit Week is under way, with the bonfire, bed races, and much, much more. This year’s bed races were held on the new Vresics Library Drive Walkway, and those curves and cobblestones added to the challenge—and the excitement!

I hope that my talk of “The Game” stirs up memories of your Lehigh family and our great university. Keep those in mind when you receive our alumni survey, coming your way in the near future. Your opinions are important as we shape our programs and how we support them going forward.

Thank you for staying connected with Lehigh. As you spend time with your family this fall, know that your Lehigh family is thinking of you!

Wishing you a safe and happy Thanksgiving,

Robert W. Wolfenden

Assistant Vice President for Alumni Relations
