ELI BRENNAN Hometown: Pottsville, PA College: College of Business Major: Finance What aspirations do you have for your Lehigh career and beyond? How has Lehigh impacted and/or reinforced those aspirations? I hope to graduate with honors and complete my dual degree in CSB (computer science and business) and finance. I hope to rise to positions of distinction in the clubs that I love and pursue internships during my time at Lehigh. After graduating, I hope to start a career and help provide for my family while also making a positive impact in the world. Lehigh has been a godsend for all of this; time and time again, this school has helped me build and grow as a person toward my future and career. The College of Business has helped me build professional skills, taught me how to network, and provided a plethora of opportunities for me to pursue. The staff in the Office of Fellowship Advising and the Center Career and Professional Development have especially contributed to my development here. A message from Eli: I am a triplet, the oldest son of two working mothers. In between high school, work, athletics, and clubs, I studied hard in order to do the best I could in school and on the SATs. When I got accepted to Lehigh, I was overjoyed but still hesitant. Lehigh was outside the reach of my family’s financial means, especially as a triplet with two other siblings attending college. I still remember the moment my mother told me we could afford enrollment, with scholarship support; that was undeniably one of the happiest moments of my life. I love this school, and my time here has improved me forever; I have met wonderful friends and faculty members, and I have made memories that I will never forget. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank everyone that has and continues to make my journey here possible. Truly, thank you.
