Soaring Together Women’s Conference: The Beginning of a Movement 2022 • How do we nurture a diverse, connected, active community of women at Lehigh? What are the strategies, the tactics, the goals? • What are we currently doing that we could improve to accomplish some of these goals? What should we be doing? • What does a woman’s relationship with Lehigh look like over time? • Where, when, and how does fundraising fit in? • What does success look like? Lehigh women wrestled with these questions – and many others – at the spring 2022 Soaring Together Women’s Conference, a step toward building a more powerful alumnae community. “ There were so many great ideas, discussions, brainstorms…” Conference participant As part of Soaring Together: Celebrating Lehigh Women and 50 Years of Coeducation,” Lehigh’s Development and Alumni Relations team brought together a group of alumnae who support Lehigh through their time, talent, and treasure to share their feelings about Lehigh and how they want to connect to each other and back to the university. Joined by university leaders, members of the Board of Trustees, students, faculty, and President Joseph J. Helble ’82, 70 participants engaged in activities and discussions, beginning a conversation about how to strengthen Lehigh’s network of women for the next 50 years and beyond.
