Cultivating Well-Rounded Students

Annual Report 2019

Lehigh’s students aren’t content to excel in one area. A typical Lehigh undergraduate carries more than one major, hones leadership skills and often excels in a sport or in the arts. And in keeping with an entrepreneurial spirit that is embraced at Lehigh, many have already started their own businesses.

Juwon Owolabi ’20 has always had an entrepreneurial drive. He launched his own lawn care business at the age of eight and has tried a variety of ventures in the ensuing years. He was among a group of 16 students to intern with eight startups in the San Francisco Bay area over the summer of 2019 as part of Lehigh’s Startup Academy.

Back on campus, he cofounded with fellow Lehigh student Linzelle Robinson a late-night food delivery business called LJ’s Midnight Munchies, directs the Cryptography Club, and is a member of the Men of Color Alliance (MOCA) and the National Society of Black Engineers.

“Connections are the pipeline to opportunities. The more connections I make, the more opportunities I have to learn.”
