TESSA DOUGAN Hometown: Nantucket, MA College: College of Arts & Sciences Major: Environmental Studies What aspirations do you have for your Lehigh career and beyond? How has Lehigh impacted and/or reinforced those aspirations? I feel that Lehigh has so many great opportunities; I am still trying to navigate and take advantage of as many as I can! On campus, I am a part of the EcoRepresentative program at Lehigh, where we aim to spread the message of sustainability to our campus. Along with this, I am the vice president of the Belly Dancing Club, a club I never saw myself joining but has shown to be a healthy challenge between organizing, choreographing, and leading the club. I am unsure where my education will bring me in the future, but I know the opportunities here will lead me to experiences that might direct my path more. A message from Tessa: I seriously cannot begin to thank you enough for this opportunity. I don’t come from a money-fortunate family, and I know there are so many other kids like me who need the support but oftentimes can’t get it. I recognize the luck I have in attending an institution like Lehigh without it making a major impact on my family’s budget or my future income. People should embrace their experiences in life rather than stress about the money, and you let us do that. So, thank you! Honors and Involvement: Belly Dance Club Vice President, EcoRep One thing on my Lehigh bucket list: Get an off-campus house with my friends (and get a mini pig).
