ERIN KIM Hometown: Bethlehem, PA College: College of Business Major: Accounting Describe one of your proudest accomplishments. As a freshman, I was looking for a field other than business that can spark my interest as a scholar. So, I took this psychology class called Personality. I saw and heard how people considered it as one of the hardest courses to take, but surprisingly enough, it became the course that made me claim my minor in psychology. I’m proud to have opened up a new door as a scholar actively seeking to learn new things, and I see myself passionately learning more about psychology, regardless of how challenging the course may be. 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 think one of the most outstanding qualities I see in Lehigh is its resources for future professionals seeking to embark on the first stepping stone of their career. I’m amazed by the amount of passion and genuine desire of Lehigh alumni as well as staff to help the undergraduate students who are seeking to define their future through their makings and efforts. I believe that such wholehearted help is what enables the students — including myself — to envision themselves as future helpers for future undergraduates on campus! A message from Erin: I first want to thank you for the generous support that derives not only from your kind hearts but also your wise vision to invest in current scholars willing to make a difference in their generation. While the way forward is not yet defined, the way is first opened due to the financial support we receive. Behind the blood, sweat, and tears of a scholar exists the sacrificial support from the helpers, and financial help is one of the most crucial assistance that students seek amidst the situations they face. I thank you with a genuine heart! Fun Fact: I have lived in four different countries so far!
