ERIC NGUYEN Hometown: Philadelphia, PA College: Interdisciplinary Major: Computer Science & Business Describe one of your proudest accomplishments. One of my proudest accomplishments at Lehigh so far is being able to immerse myself within the community. As a freshman, I struggled to find my place at Lehigh as it was a huge culture shock for me. As a sophomore, I became more involved in the community, joining University Production, Global Union, Phi Sigma Chi, and the Computer Science and Business Association. 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 my mark by becoming a leader on Lehigh’s campus. I will communicate with staff and faculty to plan, run, and set up many of the large events Lehigh supports, for example, Fall Fest, Hispanic Heritage Month, and even Wingo. With the skills I improve at Lehigh, I plan to bring my professional career to life. A message from Eric: Thank you! Scholarships and financial aid have been a game-changer for me here at Lehigh. They’ve been a lifesaver, lightening college expenses and opening doors to opportunities I might not have dreamed of. Thanks to your support, I am able to fully dive into my studies and engage in all sorts of extracurricular activities that have enriched my college experience. These scholarships and financial aid have not only made my education more affordable, but they’ve also given me the flexibility to explore my academic passions and contribute to my personal and professional development. Fun Fact: I can box.
