In publication since 1894, Lehigh’s student-run newspaper, The Brown and White, has a staff of 150+ students each semester and is open to students of all majors. More than half of participating students are nonjournalism majors, making for an interesting collaboration—and one big family. Successful alumni include Marty Baron ’76, ’76G, ’14H, retired executive editor at The Washington Post and previously executive editor of The Boston Globe. Pam Fusek ’13 lived her dream as a test engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, and she attributes a large part of her success in a highly collaborative field to her time at Lehigh. As an aeronautical engineering minor, she was advised by professor Terry Hart ’68, a former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot and NASA astronaut. Hart’s Spacecraft Systems Engineering course helped Fusek realize her pathway after graduation.
