PAYING IT FORWARD

A strong alumni network is one of Lehigh's greatest assets

Thanks to engaged alumni in the financial services industry willing to share their knowledge and experiences with students, Lehigh business majors are learning that they have many varied options for employment upon graduation.

Anne Anderson, director of the Financial Services Laboratory and the Joseph and Amy Perella Chair of Finance, decided that students needed more guidance in understanding the "real-world" career choices available to them.

To date, thirty-six guest speakers have "answered the call." (more info)
