The Center engages students, faculty, and the business community in active inquiry tackling questions central to understanding and fostering sustainable private enterprises and inclusive economic systems throughout the world. THE STUDENT ASSOCIATES EXPERIENCE I owe a great deal of my personal and professional success to my participation in the Martindale program. As a student, I was exposed to new ideas and concepts that extended beyond the normal academic curriculum and broadened my thinking. I also developed deeper relationships with my professors, other students, and alumni that have continued to flourish. Looking back, my involvement as a Student Associate was the highlight of my Lehigh experience. Sarat Sethi ’92, CFA, CIC, Managing Director/Partner, Douglas C. Lane & Associates; President, Martindale Society, 2002–Present The Martindale Center is the premier program that directly engages Lehigh University students in the issues of global economics, teaching them leadership skills and valuable experiential lessons. The Martindale Center’s Student Associates Honors Program has developed into a tool for changing the way students think and encouraging them to explore outside the box of the standard curriculum. In this way, it represents all that makes Lehigh University a great institution for those wishing to challenge themselves. The Martindale legacy is strong, and its future is even stronger. Kevin L. Clayton ’84 ’13P, Partner, Energy Capital Partners; Interim President, Lehigh University, 2014–2015 The Martindale Student Associates Program provided me with a one-of-a-kind experience while at Lehigh. This program gives students a unique learning and development opportunity. Whether it’s meeting with business leaders, members of government or other experts, students of the program are exposed to things they otherwise would not encounter…. Similarly, the writing, editing and researching talents you will develop after proposing a publication for the Martindale journal will last a lifetime. CJ Berzin ’10, Senior Finance Manager, Business Development at the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson; Martindale Turkey cohort These 12 articles present a comprehensive exploration of modern South Africa. The student scholars have tackled some of the most vexing challenges and emerged with valuable insights and well- grounded suggestions. By taking a keen interest in our beautiful country’s socioeconomic challenges, the students unequivocally have become true friends of our nation.... Gavin du Preez, Consul, South African Consulate General, New York To say Martindale changed my life would be an understatement. It gave me the confidence to speak up and really excel in my writing skills...I went from a person who dreaded networking to someone who truly looks forward to meeting new people and learning from them.
