Prospective minority students
get a close look at Lehigh
Lehigh hosted 70 prospective students and their parents for
Minority Candidates Weekend Feb. 29-March 2. Students
attended a luncheon with Peter Likins, panel discussions,
workshops and the Unity Dinner, which featured speaker
Benjamin Hooks, executive director of the NAACP. Prospective
students stayed on campus with current minority Lehigh students and attended classes on Monday morning. A large group
of parents also attended events on Saturday.
"This group of prospective students was simply fantastic,"
noted Sharon Brown, assistant dean of student life. "This is
the largest participation we have had since we started this
program."
