Auxiliary Services Annual Report 2023 FINAL

Looking Ahead The Lehigh Store AUXILIARY SERVICES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 Mission: The Lehigh Store serves the educational resource needs of the campus community while supporting Lehigh’s biggest fans through a thoughtfully curated collection of Lehigh branded general merchandise, products, and services. In fall of 2023, we kicked off a three year pilot for Learning Unlimited. The Learning Unlimited course materials program will provide access to all required course materials for full-time undergraduate students before the first day of class for one low flat fee per semester. At least 5,000 students took advantage of this program. Through this program we drastically increased the number of courses that were delivered digitally from 10 to over a 100. learningunlimited.lehigh.edu Facilitated a new Classic Collection of merchandise - supporting Lehigh Licensing and protecting Lehigh’s historic LTrain marks. There are currently 7 items in the collection, many of which sold out almost instantly. We are focusing on alternate engagement possibilities with Athletics to hopefully increase student engagement. We will also embark on an initiative to host pop ups at Mountaintop on a regular basis as well as start planning how we might engage when the Clayton University Center reopens. Donated $150,000 dollars in scholarships to Lehigh students, and 100 pounds of food to a local food pantry. Attended 44 athletic events this year for football, wrestling, men’s basketball and women’s basketball. This included the Sheridan Invitational for Wrestling and our first foray into Lacrosse. Hosted a book signing for Liz Chaney at The Zoellner Arts Center. Continued to support both Light Up Night and Senior Salute - the latter set to take place in a new location in 2024 - Grace Hall.
