Eagles land at Lehigh
NFL club to conduct summer training camp at Goodman campus
by Glenn Hofmann
Lehigh and the Philadelphia Eagles announced
on March 25 that the
National Football League
team will hold its summer training camp at the
university. The agreement is for one year with
an option to renew for the
following two years.
"We are very pleased,"
said director of athletics
Joe Sterrett. "The
Eagles camp will provide
broad exposure of the
Lehigh campus throughout the Jersey, Delaware
and Pennsylvania area."
"This is something that
we're very excited about,"
said Joe Banner, the
Eagles vice president-
administration. "Last
summer we had an
intrasquad scrimmage at
Lehigh's Goodman
Stadium and it was a very
favorable experience in every
sense. In particular we had a
great turnout of Eagles fans
from the Lehigh Valley who
really gave a warm reception.
This year we feel that same
positive atmosphere will
carry through the entire
training camp."
Training camp will be held
from mid-July to mid-August
with daily practice sessions
open to the public free of
charge. Parking will also be
free. All practices will take
place on the Goodman
Campus. The team will use
three practice fields, including the fields used by
Lehigh's Division I-AA
football team. They also will
use the adjacent Varsity
House locker room, laundry
and meeting facilities as
well as Taylor College House
and Rathbone Hall.
The Eagles camp will also
provide positive exposure for
Lehigh's conference and
athletics facilities, said
conference services coordinator Bobbie Stahr. "The
camp will cause some
adjustments initially, but
we will not be turning away
our camps that have been
here before."
"Not having done this
before we don't exactly
know what impact it will
have on the staff, however,
we will be providing the
type of service people are
accustomed to receiving at
Lehigh," added Sterrett.
The Eagles have trained
at West Chester University
for the last 16 years. Prior
to training at West Chester
the Eagles held summer
camp at Widener University.

Eagles' training camp in

Students team up to help industry
by Bill Johnson
This February, Heather
Beam, a senior mechanical
engineering major, stood
behind the lectern at the
Ritz Carlton Hotel in Dana
Point, Calif., speaking before
CEOs from some of
America's major corporations and universities.
At the invitation of Pres.

Todd Watkins, assistant
professor of economics, had
traveled 3,000 miles to make
a slide presentation on
Lehigh's Integrated Product
Development (IPD) program
to the winter meeting of the
Business Higher Education

After an introduction by
Likins and an overview of
the program by Watkins,
Beam spoke about how a

seriously while a student.
