The Brown and White Vol. 134 No. 11 Friday, March 9, 2018 ‘All the Lehigh News First’ LEHIGH OFFICES MOVE DOWNTOWN By VICTORIA LOMBARDI B&W Staff Over the past few weeks, sev-eral Lehigh administrative offices and departments have moved to the newly constructed Gateway at Greenway Park building located at Third and New streets. Relocated offices and depart-ments include Purchasing Services, Human Resources, Real Estate Services, Development and Alumni Relations, and the Controller’s Office. Lori Friedman, the director of media relations, wrote in an email that the university will occupy two of six floors in the building, joining several local businesses. Adrienne Washington, an assis-tant vice president of community and regional affairs, wrote in an email that St. Luke’s Hospital and Grille 3501 will be two other ten-ants in the Gateway. The relocation of these offices is due in part to Path to Prominence. Human Resources associate Aubrie Fenicle said human resourc-es was the first to move because its old office on Brodhead Avenue will be knocked down for the construc-tion of student housing. “The old Human Resources building won’t be standing any longer…but we’re happy to make more room for students to live on or near campus,” she said. Lehigh’s expansion into the Gateway building might give fac-ulty, staff and students a new opportunity to interact with the South Side community. “Success at Lehigh is inextrica-bly tied to the vibrancy of South Bethlehem,” Friedman wrote. “The relocation of some Lehigh staff and departments… are all part of Lehigh’s commitment to (its) revi-talization. Lehigh is what is known as an ‘anchor institution’… which means it is rooted in this local community by virtue of its mission, commitments and relationships.” With this relocation, Washington wrote, Lehigh employees will also spend more money at shops on Congressional candidates talk platforms Five departments move to Gateway building Kate Morrell/B&W Staff Purchasing Services, Human Resources, Real Estate Services, Development and Alumni Relations, and the Controller’s Office are in the process of relocating to the Gateway at Greenway Park. The building is located at Third and New streets. See OFFICES Page 2 By JAKE EPSTEIN Associate News Editor On Nov. 6, voters in Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District — formerly the 15th Congressional District before Pennsylvania’s recent redistrict-ing — will head to the polls to select a new congressman to rep-resent the district in the United States House of Representatives. Although election day is months away, the race for the seat has already started. Rep. Charlie Dent, a Republican who held the seat in this swing dis-trict since early 2005, announced in September he would not seek re-election. Among those running for the seat are David Weidman and Dean Browning. Weidman, who is running as a Democrat, has dedicated much of his life to service. He joined the U.S. Air Force after 9/11 and eventually became a U.S. Army infantryman in Afghanistan. While in Afghanistan, Weidman served in the Panjshir Provincial reconstruction team, working with Afghan civilians and soldiers on humanitarian missions. His service continued at Penn State University with his involve-ment in the Blue and White Warriors Veterans Society. After college, Weidman interned with the Lehigh Valley Drug and Alcohol Intake Unit and worked with children with special needs at Dieruff High School in Allentown. He then became a city planning commissioner for the borough of Emmaus, where he currently resides. Weidman said his main plat-forms stress the importance of civil rights and liberties, increased attention and care for veterans, and mental health services. “We live in a culture of apathy and we need to shift to one of empathy,” Weidman said. “If the system we live in won’t protect us, I need to do something. That’s why I decided to run for office.” Weidman said he is also focused on a full reform of the immi-gration system that offers great-er tolerance to those aiming to become citizens. He said the deportation of law-abiding, aspiring U.S. citi-zens is evil. “The system is set up against people who want to become citi-zens,” Weidman said. “These peo-ple are sacrificing so much to become citizens, but then they’re See CONGRESS Page 3 Alpha Chi Omega loses recognition By KLAUDIA JAZWINSKA & JESSICA HICKS Editor in Chief & News Editor Lehigh’s chapter of Alpha Chi Omega sorority lost university rec-ognition on March 5, according to Courtney Ferszt/B&W Staff Lehigh’s chapter of Alpha Chi Omega lost university recognition on March 5 and is dissolved through May 31, 2020.
