A mid-April 5K race on Lehigh’s Mountaintop campus served as a celebration of the important contributions of graduate students to the university. The race raised more than $5,000 to supplement the travel grant funding provided by Lehigh’s Graduate Student Senate and will allow more graduate students to attend and present their research at conferences in the U.S. and internationally.
In addition to the 5K, which welcomed runners, walkers and spectators, a graduate student research showcase in Iacocca Hall welcomed attendees to view the posters of graduate students from across the university who have received travel grants and presented their work at conferences.
