The student-athletes, coaches, professional staff, graduate assistants, volunteers, and alumni and community partners are the kind of people that inspire the commitment required to achieve success despite increasingly competitive circumstances. You will read about some of these people in the pages that follow, however please know that there are many more that make up our Lehigh Athletics family. Collectively, I believe we have established the kind of environment where achieving at very high levels is expected. Those of you who have invested in us have done so with the expectation that our educational efforts will produce distinctive results. Your trust inspires us to be uncompromising on quality and to push ourselves and our student-athletes to fulfill ambitions that some might describe as unrealistic. Athletically, we want our teams and individual student-athletes to win, to win championships, and to compete against programs that challenge us to stretch and grow. Yet, we also expect our student- athletes to achieve in the classroom and to lead by example among their campus peers as well as through their commitments to serving others who may be less fortunate. We also are committed to achieving those aspirations with student-athletes that are fully representative of our exceptional student body at Lehigh and with a coaching and support staff that truly and fully embraces the educational expectations at Lehigh, even though it makes competing much more difficult. So for both student-athletes and staff, the reality is that wanting and choosing to be at a place like Lehigh is an essential characteristic because it is highly likely that options will exist where more Erica Prosser ‘11 financial aid or higher salaries are available. and Joe Sterrett ‘76 It has been imperative to communicate (to prospective student athletes and prospective staff members alike) that a big part of the value of the Lehigh experience is the collective support and appreciation A guard for the they will receive. Among the most valuable forms of this “support and appreciation” are providing women’s basketball increased attention to and assistance with the post-graduate plans of our student-athletes, and for team, Prosser our coaches, producing continued growth of dollars and participation rates in our Athletics Partnership was selected as annual fund raising efforts. When student-athletes know that support from Lehigh will be there for the 2011 Athletics them when their playing and academic careers are finished, choosing Lehigh during the recruiting Department process becomes more compelling. When coaches and staff see from annual giving results that our Scholar-Athlete alumni and friends really do care about their efforts and about being competitive, Lehigh becomes a of the Year, the more desirable place to work. We are working hard to advance each of these initiatives with the aim of highest honor that enhancing our effectiveness and achieving distinction among our peers. It should be obvious that the can be achieved by involvement and support of our athletics alumni and friends will determine many of our most important a Lehigh student- outcomes! athlete. So many of you may anticipate requests for multi-year annual commitments, because such pledges enable us to plan more thoughtfully and also provide tangible evidence that the Lehigh Athletics Alumni community cares about the quality of our programs. You may also anticipate more invitations to engage in organized initiatives around career education, career planning, career advice, internship and externship experiences, and even post-graduate job opportunities for our student-athletes. Over the years, our Athletics Partners have given us the confidence to set our bar high and for that, we are grateful. With that confidence and the evidence of your continued support, we remain inspired by all we believe we can yet accomplish. We look forward to another great year and to enriching our valued relationships with you. With much gratitude, Joe Sterrett ‘76 Murray H.

Groover 2017 Preface From 1924 until 1949, the industrial engineering curriculum at Lehigh was an option in the Mechanical Engineering Department. The importance of the industrial engineering program was recognized in 1930 by renaming the department Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Engineering. In 1949, the Department of Industrial Engineering was established as an independent entity in the College of Engineering, separate from Mechanical Engineering. Its name remained the same until 1994, when it was renamed the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering, based on a recommendation of Peter Likins, who was Lehigh’s president at the time. Finally, in 2001, the department name was changed to Industrial and Systems Engineering, which remains its name to the time of this writing (2017).

    Home / Tucson's entertainment guide / Books and Literature / COVER STORY Memoir by former UA President Likins an ode to the challenges, joys of adoption Love, loyalty build resilient family bonds Ann Brown Arizona Daily Star Arizona Daily Star | Posted: Sunday, May 8, 2011 12:00 am "Take her back," a physician advised anxious parents Peter and Patricia Likins, as though their weeks-old adopted baby girl, Lora, was a malfunctioning kitchen appliance. Even though a hole between two chambers of Lora's heart threatened her life and she wasn't a surgical candidate in 1963, the 26-year-olds didn't return her. They believed accepting a child for adoption was a lifelong commitment. The couple went on to raise Lora and five other children who in the 1960s were considered unadoptable. For Pat and Pete Likins, parenthood and strong family bonds are forged by loyalty and love and don't require birth or a bloodline. "Because all of our children are adopted, we don't think in terms of blood relatives," Pete Likins says. "We think in terms of relationships." President emeritus of the University of Arizona, Likins chronicles the multiracial family in "A New American Family: A Love Story," released in March by University of Arizona Press. The memoir is a love story for Pat and their family, who together faced racial prejudice, mental illness, drug addiction and addressed homosexuality and unwed pregnancy, according to Likins. WORKING-CLASS ROOTS Likins, who holds three degrees and numerous honorary degrees, describes himself as "a working- class guy with an education." Standing on the landing a few steps above the living room of his 6,000-square-foot east-side Tucson home, Likins points out that the room is larger than the cabin in which he grew up.

  • Lehigh History Chronology
    History of Lehigh University 1864-1993 HISTORY OF LEHIGH UNIVERSITY 1864-1993 1864 The honorable Asa Packer of Mauch Chunk called on Rt. Rev. William B. Stevens, D.D., Bishop of Pennsylvania, at his home in Philadelphia and, unsolicited, told the Bishop he desired to give $500,000.00 for the purpose of founding an educational institution in the Lehigh Valley, and asked the Bishop's help in devising a plan to carry out his purpose. 1865 Mr. Packer appointed a provisional board of trustees consisting of himself, Robert H. Sayre, Robert A. Packer, and Bishop Stevens as chairman. On July 27, 1865, while Mr. Packer himself was abroad, the remaining group met in the Old Sun Inn in Bethlehem and began to make plans. After considering various other sites, Mr. Packer selected and gave a plot of fifty-six acres in the then South Bethlehem as a location for the proposed institution. On November 4, 1865, Henry Coppee, M.A., University of Georgia, 1848, was elected first president. President Coppee had been a student at Yale for two years and had graduated from West Point in 1845. He had also served as an officer and assistant professor at West Point, and as professor of English literature at the University of Pennsylvania. 1866 On the ninth day of February, 1866, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the honorable A.
