Materials symposium sets stage for industry-academic partnerships
Companies can identify societal needs and challenges but don’t often have the time and resources to address them. Academics have the technical expertise, but lack exposure to the end users of their innovations.
Lehigh launches Distinguished Water Lecture
“The global, humanity-wide importance of access to clean water is self-evident,” says clean-water champion and renowned researcher, educator, author, and inventor Arup SenGupta, “and it is not up to water scientists alone to address the issue. The world needs all of us—engineers of every stripe, businesspeople, educators, journalists, artists, and designers, among others—to learn about the challenges and engage in the search for sustainable global solutions.”
Symposium highlights graduate research in chemical, biomolecular engineering
Lehigh’s Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Association (ChEGA) will host its fifth annual Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Graduate Symposium on Friday, September 27, at Ben Franklin TechVentures on the Mountaintop Campus.
A rare fellow: Eric Krueger, Lehigh's first NIH National Research Service Award recipient
When Eric Krueger applied for an individual postdoctoral fellowship from the National Institutes of Health in 2017, the success rate was about 28 percent. And when he got the award—which ends on September 15—he became Lehigh University’s first NIH National Research Service Award Fellow.
“It’s really been fantastic,” says Krueger, a postdoctoral fellow in chemical and biomolecular engineering. “It has allowed me to customize what I want to do, and what I want to learn.”

Girls explore STEM fields at CHOICES summer camp
Their water tower collapsed pretty much right away and it took a few tries to get their Rube Goldberg project to accomplish its task, but none of that mattered to Team Pink.
The five CHOICES campers were having a blast.
“All the girls here are so fun,” said Karishma Beraj, 14, one of the members of Team Pink. “We learned to work together as a team from day one, and we didn’t even need time to get used to each other. It was like we already knew each other.”
End of an era
It says a lot about a place when its employees stick around for decades. So much has to align—the challenge, the camaraderie, the purpose. All of the recently—or soon-to-be—retired members of the Rossin College team found joy and meaning in their long tenures here, primarily because of the connections they made with colleagues and students. They have all made their mark in many different ways, both big and subtle. And they will all be missed.
