How’s your New Year's resolution going?
Be honest. We know the stats. Most people quit by the second week of January, so much so that January 10 has been designated “Quitter’s Day.”
No shame — we didn’t keep ours either. So we are looking at our 2025 goals differently starting in February.
KISS your old resolutions goodbye: Keep It Simple for Success.
Lehigh in Action is back April 21-27, a week of alumni-led community engagement projects nationwide. You can lead a project for the cause of your choice or stay posted for events that will be available near you.
You don’t need to skip the caramel on your latte or opt for a side salad instead of fries. This option is much simpler: Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn and help spread the events, news, and updates about Lehigh as an alumni advocate. Comment and like the posts that speak to you, and remember to tag us for anything Lehigh related.
No matter where you are in the world, there is a Lehigh community for you. Check out Lehigh’s regional networks, where 85,000 alumni are connected. You can also explore the many affinity and alliance groups to connect with those passionate about the same things you care about.
Lehigh Connects offers a digital network of alumni and students. By joining, you gain insights into opportunities for mentorship, career growth, and jobs. There are also ways to work directly with students through the Center for Career and Professional Development. Reach out to learn more.
There are so many ways to give smarter. Check out the Planned Giving Guide to learn more about charitable planning. Or you can choose a one-time gift, scheduled payments, or monthly recurring gift through one simple form.
Giving Day + March Mania on March 25-26 also offers smarter giving opportunities with matching challenges. And don’t forget that corporate matching can multiply your gift!
There is no shortage of chances to reconnect with your Lehigh fam. In the fall, you can share the Lehigh experience at Family Weekend and Founders Weekend, which will be separate events in fall 2025! We will also need extra representation in the stands at this year’s Rivalry, when Lafayette hosts the Mountain Hawks.
Bookmark the alumni events calendar and check back frequently for updates.
Many people don’t spend their Sunday mornings at the breakfast table with their paper and coffee. Instead of scrolling the algorithm mindlessly, be more intentional about what you read and make it Lehigh themed! Subscribe to one or more of our many university publications. They are all online and full of amazing stories focused on the Lehigh community. Just a few include The Brown and White, the Alumni Bulletin, and newsletters and magazines from the Rossin College of Engineering, the College of Arts and Sciences, and Lehigh Business.
But if you really want to read more books, do it with your Lehigh community and join our Alumni Book Club. The next book will launch in March.
