The Brown and White Vol. 133 No. 22 Friday, December 1, 2017 ‘All the Lehigh News First’ January grads seek employment Bethlehem schools accept By HOLLY SANTERO hurricane victims B&W Staff For some Lehigh students, grad-uation comes early. Every October, the Registrar receives an average of just under 300 applications from graduate stu-dents and seniors who hope to grad-uate in January instead of May. This year 159 graduate students and 130 undergraduate students applied for January graduation. Now they are waiting to receive final clearances from the Registrar. “The minimum amount of credits a student needs to graduate is 120,” associate registrar Ashley Baker said. “And all students, whether they graduate in January or May, can apply up to a year in advance for graduation and must do so by going online to the Banner.” Students may decide to gradu-ate in January to complete their degree in less than four years. Conversely, students who need an extra semester at Lehigh also grad-uate in January. Katie Morris, ’18, has worked toward early graduation since her sophomore year. “I knew coming into Lehigh that I wanted to major in journalism and global studies,” Morris said. “So I didn’t take many classes that weren’t on those topics in order to be on track to graduate early and save money on loans.

After Hurricane Maria made landfall and ravaged the island in September, some families fled to seek comfort and refuge in the Lehigh Valley. As a result, local schools have started admitting children who left the desolation in Puerto Rico to start over. Bethlehem area superintendent Joseph Roy said as a public school district, Bethlehem schools are accepting all students regardless of circumstance. He said the magnitude of Hurricane Maria’s destruction has led to an increased number of Puerto Rican families seeking refuge in Bethlehem. Roy said the Bethlehem Area School District has accepted 76 stu-dents so far and is expecting a mini-mum of 100 students total. “The level of devastation to Puerto Rico, particularly the damage to the electrical grid and the lack of potable water, creates very, very difficult sur-vival circumstances,” Roy said. “Since many people in Puerto Rico have relatives on the mainland, it makes sense they will evacuate here for a See SCHOOLS Page 2
