We're adding names to the stone benches at Leadership Plaza as we recognize the newest inductees to the 1865 Society!

Joining those honored in previous years, these generous people are recognized for lifetime giving at the $1M, $10M, and $20M levels. Next time you walk past, take a closer look. Names with special gold inlays signify gifts of $10 million and above.

Built in 1994 on the east side of the Alumni Memorial Building, Leadership Plaza encircles the Lehigh seal and the bronze statue of founder Asa Packer. Together they symbolize the enduring spirit shaping Lehigh’s future.

Let’s celebrate our newest inductees as their names take their rightful place alongside Lehigh's greatest supporters!

When Jacalyn ’75 and Ronald ’75 Askin met at Lehigh 50 years ago, they couldn't have predicted the lifelong impact the university would have on their lives and careers. Now, they're paying it forward. 🤎🤍

Jackie and Ron were the first to participate in the Rossin College Scholarship Challenge, a new dollar-for-dollar matching opportunity created by an anonymous engineering alumnus.
Only eight scholarships will be created through this match, and spots are filling fast.
