6 GO BEYOND: THE CAMPAIGN Adding more than $324 million to the endowment’s principal, Go Beyond: The Campaign for Future Makers has already left a multi-generational imprint on Lehigh’s future. The 328 endowed scholarships established since the start of the campaign make Lehigh more accessible to talented and deserving students. A shining example is the Soaring Together Scholarship Program, which combines a full-tuition scholarship with opportunities for experiential learning and alumni mentorship. The highly competitive program, created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of coeducation at Lehigh, is helping to shape the Lehigh community by bringing top students to campus. One year into Inspiring the Future Makers, Lehigh’s bold strategy is producing tangible outcomes across campus. The renovation of the Clayton University Center at Packer Hall is rapidly nearing completion, and new programs like the Compelling Perspectives speaker series have strengthened community bonds while fostering respectful discourse. Graduate and doctoral programs are evolving, showcasing Lehigh’s leadership in reimagining higher education. Meanwhile, six endowed chairs and the Kevin L. and Lisa A. Clayton College of Business deanship, all established in the campaign, continue to elevate Lehigh’s formidable academic and research capabilities. This momentum and its impact on the student experience has not gone unnoticed. The Wall Street Journal ranked Lehigh #15 among the top 500 universities in the country, with student outcomes cited as a driving factor. The endowment is the foundation that fuels this progress and makes our aspirations possible. Your impact on Lehigh’s endowment has been, in a word, transformational. Through collective action and a shared sense of purpose, this community has built a strong endowment that ensures we are always ready to meet the moment. And this is Lehigh’s moment. Thank you for your unwavering support. Lehigh’s future is ours for the making. Let’s GO Beyond!
