Pushing Long-Term Transformation
In the heart of the Lehigh Valley, Lehigh University continues to be a beacon of innovation and progress. The latest Community and Economic Impact Report for the 2023-24 fiscal year reveals that the university has a comprehensive impact of $1.4 billion on the region.
Lauren Thein, the editor of this article, delves into the positive impact Lehigh University has on its community. The university's influence extends far beyond its campus, reaching nearly every corner of the world.
Two distinguished alumni, Andrew Knoll '73 and Daniel Richter '73, are geoscientists whose research at Lehigh has significantly contributed to our understanding of the history of life on Earth and how that impacts us today. Their groundbreaking work is at the forefront of national conversation.
The arts also play a significant role in shaping the Lehigh University experience. Students, like Saimonth Munoz '26, have been influenced by the arts at the university. Munoz, a Goldwater Scholarship recipient in 2025, conducts research under Lehigh faculty in quantum materials and machine learning. His future goals include publishing a research paper, earning a Ph.D. in quantum computing, and continuing work that has societal impact.
The university's commitment to research is evident in its recent establishment of the Center for Advancing Community Electrification Solutions. This University Research Centre is addressing the energy needs of artificial intelligence data centers, a pressing issue in today's digital age.
Lehigh's Centre for Advancing Community Electrification Solutions is not the only research hub making waves. University research at Lehigh is at the forefront of national conversation, addressing complex problems and driving lasting change in various communities.
As Lehigh University continues to thrive, so does its legacy. The university's Art Galleries (LUAG) are preparing to celebrate their 100th anniversary, a testament to the university's enduring commitment to the arts and education.
Classified as an R1 research university by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, Lehigh University stands as a testament to the power of education, research, and community engagement. Through the work of its remarkable students, faculty, and alumni, Lehigh is not just a university; it is a force for positive change.
