John Fritz so admired the training engineering students received at Lehigh that in 1909 he personally funded, designed and supervised the construction of a research laboratory to advance their studies in materials, structures and hydraulics.
In 2009, Lehigh's approach to environmental research and education received a huge boost from benefactors of the University's new Science, Technology, Environment, Policy & Society (STEPS) initiative.
DEVELOPMENT OF CEE
A tradition of giving has long supported the training of Lehigh engineers. From the cutting-edge labs where young researchers create new knowledge to the advanced degree programs that sharpen their minds, our students owe much of their success to the generosity of alumni and friends that made possible their exceptional educational experience.
Designating your gift to the department of civil and environmental engineering will have a lasting impact on students now and for generations to come. Your donation today will help CEE:
- Provide financial aid to graduate students
- Equip and maintain undergraduate teaching labs
- Attract guest speakers to complement the learning experience
- Offer opportunities for international travel/study
- Subsidize participation in student competitions
- Support student travel to conferences
- Fund undergraduate research with CEE faculty
- Produce industrial tests with "real world" instructional value
- Send students to externships and internships
- Sponsor field trips
- Enhance the CEE student lounge

If you are also celebrating a reunion year, you can designate your gift to the department and have it count toward your class totals.
We hope that you will also continue to support the Lehigh Fund, which goes toward financial aid, the university's top priority.
