Y LAM Hometown: Reading, PA College: College of Arts & Sciences Major: Art What aspirations do you have for your Lehigh career and beyond? How has Lehigh impacted and/or reinforced those aspirations? Lehigh University offers the elementary and secondary education accelerated master’s program, which allows me to only need one year after graduating to obtain my master’s in education. This program is one of the main reasons why I chose Lehigh. As an aspiring secondary level art teacher, this program will set me on a more concrete path, and I feel less nervous about my future. Furthermore, I look forward to working with the faculty at Lehigh’s department of art, architecture, and design. I have had amazing experiences with my art classes, and I admire the efforts of all of the art professors I have had. Finally, I plan to participate in the projects held at Mountaintop and to continue my work-study position at Zoellner. I feel the most productive every time I am on shift. A message from Y: To receive this scholarship is incredible. The ability to afford tuition is daunting and a constant stressor I have. It is easy for a student to be deterred and set back by financial struggles, thus making the college journey much more difficult. Yet, amazingly, there are people willing to help and reduce those stressors. Without your help, I would not be able to attend and flourish in Lehigh’s setting. For that, I want to thank you for your generosity and meaningful support. I am honored to be a recipient. Honors and Involvement: Dean’s List One thing on my Lehigh bucket list: Try every restaurant in the local Bethlehem area.
