REACH: Resources to Engage, Accomplish, Connect, & Help
ERAC is launching an interdepartmental and university-wide program aimed at fostering professional relationships and networks among faculty and staff. By connecting Lehigh employees with each other and providing opportunities to learn about the university, REACH seeks to advance multiple goals of Lehigh's strategic plan, including investing in faculty and staff, as well as the university's core values and the aims of the Council on Equity and Community. Additional information is available on the ERAC website.
Due to overwhelming interest, the program is at capacity for the REACH cohorts starting in October. However, ERAC anticipates launching additional cohorts in January 2012. If you would like to participate in January 2012, please be sure to sign up by October 14, 2011.
