Lehigh has a fantastic reputation and great ties to Wall Street. The leader of Deloitte - part of the “Big Four” professional services firm in the United States is a woman graduate of Lehigh’s accounting department.

Lehigh alums are famous for helping fellow alums. My husband and I went to an out of town Lehigh football game during my son’s freshman year. In one day I was given 10 business cards from alums telling me they would help in any way they could. I actually followed up with a couple and developed great friendships and received some help.

Also, when my son and his fraternity brother emailed their applicants for internships into a firm with a strong Lehigh connection they immediately were offered interviews. My son and his friend got the internships and job offers September of his senior year. He is still with the company and is very happy.

When my son and I visit New York City we have walked up and down Wall Street and he points to business and after business and says he knows someone working there. Until he walked down Wall Street he had no idea how many of his friends were actually working in that tiny community.
