Ella Varano ’25 “Financial aid has been a tremendous help. My parents are self-employed and own a restaurant where the pandemic greatly affected the rate of people dining. We had to close for eight months. Coming to Lehigh, I have been able to participate in the things I love most. I went on a two-week trip to the Philippines where I conducted six focus groups with middle-aged women regarding food insecurity. My concept paper for this work got accepted to the IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference in Santa Clara, California. These are the things that I am grateful for getting to do while at Lehigh. So thank you! ”
