Erica Silver: Finding the Leader Within
A native of the Lehigh Valley, Erica Silver has spent years shaping the region’s cultural landscape through music education. From directing choral programs and middle school musicals at Springhouse Middle School to leading the youngest performing group in the prestigious Bach Choir of Bethlehem, Silver's dedication to her students has always been clear.
When she decided to return to school, she sought an institution that could match her drive while understanding her roots. Silver chose Lehigh because she wanted a university "big enough to challenge me and small enough to support me," featuring a robust in-person format. However, her trajectory changed entirely once she arrived.
