LEHIGHNOW December 6, 2000 Volume 1, Issue 3 Achieving Excellence: Agenda for Academic Leadership IN BRIEF ON THE GRIDIRON Season ends for Hawks One week after they upset Western Illinois in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the Mountain Hawk football squad fell, 47-22, to the number two-seeded University of Delaware on Saturday, Dec. 2. Lehigh, which had achieved its second undefeated regular season in three years, finished the year with a 12-1 record. Lehigh jumped out to early leads of 7-0 and 10- 7 before the Blue Hens scored 40 unanswered points to take charge. A series of costly penalties, combined with four uncharacteristic turnovers by the Hawks, helped fuel the Delaware momentum. Quarterback Brant Hall '02 completed 20 out of 33 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns. Brian Endler '01 caught seven passes for 129 yards and a TD. "When you play a team as good as Delaware, you can't afford to make mistakes," said Lehigh head coach Kevin Higgins. "We had some mental breakdowns that led to turnovers. Delaware did an excellent job at capitalizing on our mistakes. That is what good football teams do." A draft strategic plan to guide Lehigh's future has been distributed to faculty and staff for review, discussion and feedback. The plan, "Achieving Excellence: Lehigh University's Agenda for Academic Leadership," was developed over the past 18 months. An initial implementation plan for the current academic year is included in the strategic plan, along with the Seven Strategic Goals released last year, the Vision for Lehigh, an analysis of Lehigh's competitive position, and planning assumptions and choices. "Our overarching goal is to further enhance Lehigh's reputation as a leading university -both intellectually and educationally," said President Gregory Farrington. "I believe Lehigh has made substantial progress towards achieving this goal this past year. The $75-miIlion academic excellence initiative announced in October is a major step in this direction." He urged faculty and staff to submit comments to deans, vice presidents, the provost or directly to him by the start of the semester break. "For Lehigh to achieve its most ambitious goals, our faculty and staff must not only understand the plan and the direction Lehigh is headed, but also fully support the effort," Farrington said. To view the plan (accessible only with a faculty or staff e-mail ID), go to www.lehigh.edu / -inure!/luplan/. John Feinstein, Washington Post columnist and author of A March to Madness, talked recently to a journalism class about his new book on the Patriot League called The Last Amateurs. Yoshida to give commencement address Ron Yoshida, provost and vice president for academic affairs, will give the commencement speech at Lehigh's graduation exercises at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 14 in Stabler Arena. The January ceremony is for students who have completed their bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree requirements during the summer or the fall semester. About 400 students are expected to graduate. "I am indeed honored to represent the university - faculty, staff and students - in making remarks at the January commencement address," Yoshida said. "Einstein said, 'Imagination is more important than knowledge.' As graduates begin a new chapter of their lives, imagination is indeed what will inspire discovery." Yoshida joined Lehigh in 1996 as dean of the College of Education. Under his leadership, the college became one of the top education programs in the nation. Previously, Yoshida was associate provost and assistant vice president for academic affairs at Queens College, City University of New York. An advocate of using interdisciplinary approaches to solving education problems, Yoshida has written more than 60 scholarly articles. He and President Gregory Farrington recently published the article, "Darwin Goes to College: Educational Competition in the Dot-com World," in Educause Review. That article explored how technology is transforming learning and some innovative approaches being implemented at Lehigh.
