6 Since its public launch in 2018, GO: The Campaign for Lehigh has harnessed the collective support and enthusiasm of alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students, and friends to build the future of Lehigh. Your philanthropy and engagement have been instrumental in transforming the face of campus, building innovative programs, and supporting our exceptional students. Over 300 endowed scholarships alone have been created since the start of the campaign — making a tangible difference for students today and for generations to come. These scholarships are critical and only the beginning of the positive impact you have had on Lehigh’s endowment throughout the campaign. You have enhanced core programs, academic departments, collections, and research initiatives that matter deeply to our Lehigh community. Because of you, more students are taking the stage at Zoellner Arts Center. They’re having exceptional learning opportunities in environmental and biological sciences. In the residence halls, Gryphons have the chance to develop their skills and potential as the next generation of Lehigh leaders. And across campus and colleges, more students have the support to access everything a Lehigh education offers. Today, we set our sights even higher, with Inspiring the Future Makers guiding Lehigh’s vision for the next decade and key initiatives taking shape. The strategic plan envisions a reimagined higher education experience, one that meets the world’s challenges with practical rigor and interdisciplinary collaboration — two of Lehigh’s core strengths. To fuel the strategic plan and university priorities, Lehigh is embarking on a bold new phase of our fundraising and engagement efforts: GO Beyond: The Campaign for Future Makers sets a new goal of raising $1.25 billion and engaging 50% of alumni. As we move forward, we are excited to share opportunities where the endowment will be key to our success. We are so grateful to everyone who has and will continue to play a part in this monumental collective effort. The endowment, which has grown substantially over the years, has been pivotal in achieving Lehigh’s aspirations, and its impact — and your contribution — will continue to resonate. Because of your enthusiasm, loyalty, and philanthropy, Lehigh will meet this moment and grow, innovate, and create the future makers the world needs. Together, let’s GO Beyond.
