“My dad gets up to go to work at 2 in the morning, comes back at 2 p.m. I see my dad getting up very early and that motivates me to work harder. My dad’s always been the one to say, ‘Get your education, get your education, and worry about work later.’” - Phillip Hernandez ‘19

“One piece of advice I’d offer to other students would be to not let failures push you down. Instead, just use your failures as a chance to learn from them. Everyone has their stumbles. You just have to bounce back and learn from it. That’s how you take it. Because really, failure just makes you stronger.” - Josh Plummer ‘20

We are proud to be working with the American Talent Initiative to activate talent, and support access and success.

As we expand our efforts to help students from all backgrounds find a place at Lehigh, four Mountain Hawks share in their own words why those efforts matter--to them, to their families and to their future.
