IN THE NEWS

Our club has held several board meeting and teleconferences over the past 6 months. Various events have been planned by all of the clubs to maintain Lehigh Alumni spirit and to support the mission and goals of Lehigh University. The theme of Lehigh University Alumni Board and of our NNJ Club is to stay "Connected, Engaged, and Involved!" Since our restructuring in May/June of 2002, the Regional Club of Northern New Jersey (NNJ) has been very involved!
