In the November/December issue compiling a 'field guide' to the 2023 awardees around the nation, Lehigh is especially recognized on page 66 for our Advancing Future Faculty Diversity Postdoctoral Scholars Program. This Best DEI Practice Pathway Program has hired six individuals in the first cohort, and is about to launch the second recruitment cycle with seven qualified host units in several broad disciplinary areas.
