The Winter 2015 edition of the Lehigh Bulletin introduces the university’s next president, John D. Simon, a widely respected leader in higher education. Through interviews with Simon and his current and former colleagues, the cover story details Simon’s path to the presidency, including the ‘defining moment’ in his career. The issue also captures in photos the historic gathering of Lehigh alumni in New York for the 150th playing of The Rivalry.
John Simon has distinguished himself in academia with his world-class research, his thoughtful leadership and, perhaps most tellingly, his willingness to put the interests of others above his own.
