With a multitude of chang-es to the student body, curriculum and physical campus, the Lehigh experience of future students will look much different from that of alumni. See JUUL Page 4 Photo courtesy of Bruce Stringfellow Lehigh’s Path to Prominence includes several initiatives ranging from financial aid efforts to building new residences like Southside Commons. Alumni have voiced concerns about the implications of expanding into the Bethlehem community. On top of a financial aid ini-tiative that meets 100 percent of every student’s demonstrat-ed financial need, the expansion plan includes building a college of health, hiring 100 new fac-ulty members, increasing the undergraduate and graduate stu-dent population by 20 percent, and building new dormitories to accommodate the larger student population.

The website reads that each “JUUL uses a tempera-ture regulation system to heat nicotine-based liquid to an ideal level and is designed to avoid burning.” Each JUUL pod contains 0.7 ML with 5 percent nicotine, which is equal to about 200 puffs, or one cigarette.
