The Brown and White Vol. 135 No. 15 Tuesday, October 30, 2018 ‘All the Lehigh News First’ Go: Lehigh launches fundraising campaign Sam Henry/B&W Staff Lehigh’s $1 billion fundraising initiative launched on Thursday, Oct. 25, 2018, on the UC Front Lawn. The launch included performances from student groups, Lehigh Idol winners and Grammy-nominated singer Halsey. Lehigh launched the public phase of Go: The Campaign for Lehigh, a five-year fundraising campaign, on the UC Front Lawn with headlining performer Halsey Thursday, Oct. 25. Chairman of the board of trust-ees Kevin Clayton, ‘84, ’13P, signed the resolution unanimous-ly adopted by the board to go public with the campaign, which aims to fund university growth and impact. The launch included three feature speakers, Daniel Amankwatia, ’19, Nadine Elsayed, ‘18, and Vassie Ware, a professor of bioscience. Joseph Buck, the vice president of Development and Alumni Relations, said plan-ners wanted to feature a student, an alumnus and a faculty mem-ber. Campaign launch events were also held in Manhattan and San Francisco on Oct. 26 and 27, respectively. President John Simon compared the campaign to a marathon. He said there will be events all over the world for several years and the university is about to take the campaign to China next weekend. “We are organizing a campaign road trip,” Buck said. “Not every-one is here (at Lehigh), in New York or in San Francisco, so you take Lehigh to (them). You have to meet people where they are, lit-erally — you have to go to them.” Simon said in addition to China, the campaign will travel to India, London, Texas, Florida and other locations. Leaders chose to host the first campaign launch on campus, however. “This is what it’s about, is here,” Simon said. “The whole campaign is to support the mission of what By MARISSA McCLOY News Editor we do — and what we do is here.” Buck said the money to pay for the launch events this weekend came from of his office’s oper-ating budget. Buck said it will be important to receive invest-ments for upcoming campaigns to continue to build and feed the momentum of the initiative. To date, $550 million of the $1 billion-plus fundraising goal has been raised. Buck said the $550 million was raised primarily from 2013 to 2017, but some gifts date back to 2012. He said the gifts donated prior to 2018 were part of the private phase of the campaign, during which the objective was to raise half of the current fundrais-ing goal. At the launch event, the univer-sity announced a $20 million gift from Clayton and Lisa Clayton, ’13P, that will specifically sup-port renovations to the University Center. The campaign prioritizes stu-dent access and opportunity, the impact of the new college of health and the expansion of research efforts and facilities, in addition to other initiatives across the uni-versity. The campaign is chaired by alumni Maria Chrin, ’87, ’10P, Jordan Hitch, ’88, ’20P, ’21P, James Maida, ’85, ’17P, ’19P, and Mark Yeager ’81. There are also four honorary chair members for the campaign, including Murray Goodman, ’48, Lee Iacocca, ’45, Joseph Perella, ’64, and Daniel Smith Jr., ’71. In addition to Halsey, the launch featured performers from Lehigh Idol, the Marching ‘97 and the Lehigh cheerleaders and student dance groups, such as LU Bhangra. The launch offered free food catered primarily by Lehigh See GO Page 3 The midterm elections, explained Citizens will vote for midterm election candidates on Tuesday, Nov. 6. Some Lehigh students are unsure of who exactly is run-ning in this election and why the election matters. The Brown and White compiled a guide to voting in Bethlehem this year. What are midterm elections? While presidential elections occur every four years, U.S. citizens have the chance to vote every two years for every member of the U.S. House, as well as certain members of the U.S. Senate, state officials and local council or school board members. By DELANEY MCCAFFREY Multimedia Editor Since the 2018 election is halfway through the presidential term, it is known as a midterm election. There has been significant empha-sis placed on this year’s midterms, and many races across the country are very close. The outcomes of the election will determine party majorities in the Senate and House of Representative in Congress, both of which are currently held by the Republican party. Who’s on the ballot? The ballot includes elections to determine both the Senate and House of Representatives in Congress, along with a handful of statewide elections. Local posi- See ELECTION Page 3
