How to Help

Send money...this classical cry has always echoed across college campuses, and as you alums are very much aware, it's not just the students who do the begging. The fact is, money does help and Lehigh and EES have benefited from the largesse and loyalty of our past graduates, whose rate of giving is reknowned. For EES, discretionary funds are not just nice to have, but virtually essential in competing with other high-profile institutions. So if you're so inclined and you're able, please do contact the Development Office or EES directly.

But there are many ways in which we could use help beyond simply cold cash. It would be wonderful to learn about past graduates who could provide job opportunities, contacts, advice, and mentorship to students exploring their career options.

Students these days are very interested in internships, and we are trying hard to give students a chance for work experience in a variety of ways, so again, if you'd be willing to take on an intern or two, let us know.

This also applies at a somewhat larger scale to graduate students: one of our major goals at the moment is to strengthen the graduate program, and one essential step is to increase the number of students and the level of support. If you have projects that would make for nice MS theses or Ph.D. chapters, we'd very much like to hear from you.

Finally, if you'd be willing to come and give us a seminar about your work or your research, please call. We'd be thrilled to have past graduates return to talk with us.
