Student Success

Lehigh students participating in the 2019 Lehigh Expo on April 6 presented their semesters-long projects to the Lehigh community and families attending this year’s Candidates’ Day for students admitted to the Class of 2023. The university-wide Expo, held in Building C on the Mountantop Campus, featured 150 student projects and involved more than 280 student presenters. The projects that were showcased grew out of work in engineering, English, and other classes; biology labs; capstone design projects; and other pursuits.

More than 30 engineering students from Lehigh University and Lafayette College competed in the 16th annual David and Lorraine Freed Undergraduate Research Symposium on March 27.

The event, which included judged presentations and a poster session in the STEPS building lobby, showcased top research across engineering disciplines completed by undergraduates at the two schools over the past year. Prizes awarded by the judging panel are scholarships to attend professional conferences.

If you’re working on a project, or have one you’ve recently completed, it’s time to show it off.

The Expo is nearly here.
