"I really believe that the best person should get the job and the best story should get the space."
- Barb Newton '82, '86G
Lehigh University Young Alumni Council (YAC) was established in 2001 to keep alumni connected, engaged, and involved in their first 10 years after graduation. YAC, along with the Lehigh University Alumni Association and University Advancement, sponsors programs and events that promote interaction with other alumni and current students.
YAC members are also an integral part in planning and supporting Lehigh events, such as the ever-popular Young Alumni Reunion, where young alumni get a change to reconnect with classmates and spend a weekend on South Mountain attending everything from a Tailgate to the BASH, our own "nightclub with a view." Young alumni also participate in other Alumni Association sponsored events, such as our world-wide Clubs and Alumni Admissions Outreach (AAO) programs, and our Career programs, including our highly successful Career Counseling sessions and Career Networking Receptions.
How do I become a member?
Young Alumni can contact Nancy Merritt '04, '05G, Director of Student and Young Alumni Programs, at nancy.merritt@lehigh.edu if they are interested in joining the Young Alumni Council. We are always looking for strong and dedicated alumni to fill roles on YAC as they become vacant. However, since there are limited seats available on YAC, we encourage our young alumni to get involved in other ways.
How can I get involved?
Getting involved is a snap! You can get involved in some or ALL of the following:
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is in charge of overseeing the YAC and is the principal leadership of young alumni at Lehigh. The Executive Committee, along with the members of YAC, seek to ensure that our young alumni are always connected, engaged, and involved in what is happening at Lehigh and how we can make their experience after Lehigh a better one.
