2025 Percy Hughes Award Nominations Now Open

We are pleased to announce the 2025 call for nominations for the Percy Hughes Award for Scholarship, Humanity, and Social Change. The Percy Hughes Award recognizes those who advance Lehigh University's culture of addressing the world's most pressing challenges with sleeves rolled up and an orientation towards real world issues. Award recipients are leaders who not only foster Lehigh's historic educational mission, values, and core beliefs but also push Lehigh in new directions and heights of excellence. The recipient shall be a Lehigh University faculty member, staff member, or student (either graduate or undergraduate in good standing) who works towards implementing large, transformative ideas in the local, national, and world communities with grace, tenacity, and devotion. The award covers the calendar year prior to its being awarded. For example, the 2025 award will recognize accomplishments in January-December of 2024. Nominations may be submitted by current students, faculty or staff across all of the departments in the five colleges. Nominations must be submitted by May 1, 2025 at 5 p.m. via email sent to Robin Hojnoski, Acting Dean of the College of Education, at roh206@lehigh.edu. Learn more.
