Hometown: Lafayette Hill, PA College: College of Arts and Sciences Major: Architecture Why did you choose Lehigh? Throughout high school, Lehigh was always the university I dreamed of and saw myself attending. It was the perfect balance of interdisciplinary work and collaborative learning environments. Additionally, the smaller campus and undergraduate enrollment size I believed would best allow me to create personal and deeper connections with professors and peers. What is your favorite class or subject? The 3D design class was my favorite course I’ve taken so far at Lehigh. Being able to work in a collaborative environment alongside my peers is a space I thrive best in. Additionally, learning through hands-on and engaging projects was a great way for me to gain the best understanding of the techniques and design methods we were taught. Interests outside the classroom: Giving back and volunteering is something that is very important to me, and I work hard to incorporate it into my life as much as possible. A message from Averie: Thank you for your support. Because of people like you, I am fortunate enough to attend a wonderful university like Lehigh. Growing up in a single-parent household, academics were always a priority. However, private school education was, and still is, financially an ongoing burden. Being able to study and work with professors at Lehigh, I know this will best set me up for achieving my academic and work goals of becoming an architect and working in the real estate world. Without Lehigh and its wonderful donors, these goals and future wouldn’t be possible to achieve. AVERIE SCHNUPP Favorite Lehigh tradition Lehigh-Lafayette day was by far my favorite event this year at Lehigh. It was so nice to see the whole Lehigh community come together.
