FROM THE NEST | SPRING 2023 | 13 FRANCHISE RECORD | ALUMNI ʼ13 THREE’S COMPANY CJ McCollum ’13 set a New Orleans Pelicans franchise record with 11 3-pointers in a 127-116 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Dec. 30, 2022. Only five other players have had more 3-pointers in a game in NBA history (Steph Curry achieved the feat twice). McCollum, who is in the midst of a four-year term as president of the National Basketball Players Association, netted a game-high 42 points, which tied the fourth-highest point total of his NBA career and most since he joined the Pelicans in a mid-season trade last season. Three days later, McCollum and the Pelicans traveled to Philadelphia for a rematch where Lehigh alumni and friends were in attendance to cheer on the former Mountain Hawk. McCollum’s Pelicans fell to the Sixers, 120-111, but the 10-year NBA veteran tied for a team-high in points with 26.—Stephen Gross GLOBAL Teaching in a Complex World Seven faculty named global fellows. How do educators show up in places not necessarily home to them, with students and local residents both like and unlike them, all with their own fears and desires, to create meaningful engagements that positively shape a shared future? To help faculty design innovative international education experiences, Lehigh’s Global Citizenship Center for Pedagogies of Self, Other and World Well-being has named its first cohort of Global Teaching and Learning Fellows: Nandini Deo, associate professor of political science; Rochelle Frounfelker, assistant professor of community and population health; Almut Hupbach, professor of psychology; Terry-Ann Jones, professor of political science and director of the Africana Studies Program; Mary Anne Madeira, assistant professor of international relations; Ziad Munson, professor of sociology and chair of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology; and Xiaochuan Tong, teaching assistant professor. “Our desire is to give faculty the space to thoughtfully consider what it means to teach about and in the world in this particularly complex moment,” said center Director Lina Rodríguez. The cohort will travel to Rishikesh, India, in the Himalayan foothills, in May 2023 for an immersive weeklong seminar led by Rodríguez and William Crow, director of the Lehigh University Art Galleries (LUAG), where they can reflect on what it means to study abroad and how to use place-based learning in their classrooms. As part of the initiative, the fellows will engage with LUAG’s Gateway to Himalayan Art exhibition (at left). —Emily Groff CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: CHARIOT RITUAL (BIRMARATHA PATA), NEPAL, DATED BY INSCRIPTION, 1902; HAND HELD PRAYER WHEEL, CENTRAL TIBET, EARLY 20TH CENTURY; MANDALA OF CHAKRASAMVARA, TIBET, 14TH-15TH CENTURY; BODHISATTVA KSHITIGARBHA, TIBET, 17TH CENTURY; VAJRAVARAHI, NEPAL, DATED BY INSCRIPTION, 1822.
