Thank you to all our

volunteers!

Let’s look at the

impact you had this

year …

Over 1,700 volunteers:

• Gave 54,000 hours of service

• Which equates to $1.1 Million in labor hours

• Which is about the work of 26 full-time employees for a year!

Affinity volunteers ignited the passion of alumni using 130 volunteer leaders to match alumni with groups they are passionate about, from the Marching 97 to the Wall Street Council.

AAO volunteers welcomed potential members to the Lehigh family in 38 states and eight nations and opened the eyes of potential students.

The Awards Committee honored exceptional alumni with 25 awards.

Athletics Partnership volunteers threw events, bonded former athletes to campus athletics and helped raise $2 million for student-athletes.

The Board of Directors pushed the interests of Lehigh alumni forward.

Across the country, regional club volunteersplanned parties, networking opportunities and cultural programs (over 300 events!) for Lehigh alumni.

Class Leadership volunteers broke records and kept their classmates informed with class columns, phone calls and social media.

You may see a member of the Senior Alumni Council greeting alums in the Alumni Association or students (over 14,000 of them!) at the Admissions desk. They also send birthday cards to alumni celebrating 75+ years of a Lehigh-filled life.

Young Alumni Council made changes so that they could reach out to the newest Lehigh alums with

events, volunteering and more.

Volunteers from every generation are donating time to make today’s Lehigh better.
