Richard M. Brandt, director of the Iacocca Institute, kicked off the opening ceremony of the FIELD Study and Research Center (Training, Innovation, Emersion Local, Planning) of the Calabria region in Italy. The Center, which links the Calabria region of Italy with Lehigh and creates a transnational laboratory for leadership training program exchanges, has received visible and public support from the president of Italy, Mr. Carlo A. Ciampi. The Iacocca Institute, with its accumulated experience and acquired knowledge, and the FIELD School, with its strategic location in the center of the Mediterranean Sea, will work together to give direct and customized support to the next generation of entrepreneurs. The two institutions will coordinate activities of study, research and documentation on leadership and managerial skills for future leaders. The FIELD School Director, Ms. Rosaria Amantea, is a 2002 graduate of the Iacocca Institute’s Global Village for Future Leaders and Industry.

Leeman-Turner Arena Pumps up Volume

The initial awe of the renovated building took a couple seconds to wash over, and then the noise became overwhelming. Grace Hall is a great place to wrestle, said Lehigh senior wrestler Brad Dillon, a Parkland High School graduate. They call it the 'Snake Pit' because you feel the crowd on top of you. It's definitely a fun place to wrestle.
