TOLUWALOLA MAYOWA Hometown: Middletown, DE College: College of Health Major: Population Health Describe one of your proudest accomplishments. My proudest accomplishment at Lehigh so far is making the friends that I have now. When I first came to Lehigh, I made it a point to be outgoing, meet people, and join clubs, which is exactly what I did. I joined the African Student Association, Black Student Union, JM Entertainment, African Renaissance, and more. These places helped me find my community and created good connections that I am really proud of and happy to have. Lehigh’s strategic plan, Inspiring the Future Makers, is built upon the notion that “The way forward is not yet defined. The future is ours for the making.” How do you intend to make your mark on campus and beyond? I intend to make a mark on campus and beyond by actively engaging in leadership roles, fostering positive change, and promoting inclusivity in my fields of interest. On campus, I plan to join student organizations and clubs that align with my interests and values and strive to make a meaningful impact through my involvement. Whether through organizing community service initiatives, advocating for sustainability, or promoting diversity and inclusion, I aim to be a proactive force for positive change. Beyond campus, I aspire to extend my influence by participating in internships, research projects, and networking opportunities that allow me to apply my knowledge and skills to real-world challenges. My goal is to leave a lasting legacy of dedication to progress and a commitment to making the world a better place. A message from Toluwalola: Thank you so much for what you are doing to support students like me at Lehigh. If it weren’t for scholarships and financial aid, I wouldn’t even be at Lehigh. Fun Fact: My high school superlative was “most witty.”
