Re: Giving to Lehigh wrestling

>>>You guys can impress me and move the dial from 98% former wrestling athletes not giving to 95% not giving. Win yourselves over before you attempt to win the fans over and then the general alumni population. ... And so it only took a few more days to do exactly that - hitting 5.15% -while we're al...

Re: Giving to Lehigh wrestling

As of 9:30 pm, the wrestling pct had risen to 5.15% according to the dude who handles my Partnership gifts, Nathan Hughes, who's been with Lehigh a bit more than a year. Quite the go-getter

Re: Giving to Lehigh wrestling

Thanks, JAD for posting that update for % of former wrestlers' giving level to 4.23% from the former 2 % I get the feeling that the LU computer is counting wrestlers who quit after their freshman year - having never wrestled a bout for us. Every year I get an email: "Hey, I met __ who says he w...

Re: Giving to Lehigh wrestling

Some of us got Coach Cahill's football donation ask; if I'm not mistaken, he cited a football alum giving rate of 4%. I don't know what to make of such low giving rates among former athletes in football & wrestling but both are admittedly pathetic. Enough to point fingers high up in the Universi...

Re: LU Business School

Sounds like very impressive and specific plans & analysis; we wish you well. I'm sure public perception incl hs recruits will see the upside for them when they make decisions about us in the near term.

Re: Transfer to Lehigh

Correct, I’m not arbiter - but the Trustees control every possible improvement, as they’ve done forever. W/out them we’d have no forum like others don’t We’re free speech here, for better or worse, I’m just trying to remind you what’s unlikely to change after 30 years of massive upgrades and spendin...

Re: Faith Christian Academy

Not giving $75k SUVs to seniors or $8-10k/yr cash above full rides will hurt our recruiting, too.

Re: LU Business School

Well, that's nice - and very surprising - since you get an 'F' in Alumni Relations ,if you bring your blue prints to campus while also slinging so much public stuff at your alma mater. As if doing this here will improve Lehigh. I spent 5 yrs as Wharton's Alumni Dir, with my smartest move (among few)...

LU Business School

It's good to be told as a b.s. and MBA from Lehigh who has ties to trustees in the business world that I should stick to things I actually understand, a.k.a. "don't mess with the anonymous public rants of mthawk as he systemically tries to shred Lehigh's otherwise solid reputation. We don't eve...
