Percy Hughes Award for Scholarship, Humanity and Social Change Nominations Open
During his 35 years at Lehigh (1907-1942), Percy Hughes adopted Lehigh as one of his communities of choice and fully integrated himself into the university's fabric. He did the same with the Bethlehem community and various other places he lived throughout his life.
"My grandfather loved Lehigh and Bethlehem and dedicated his efforts to actively making his communities better places to learn, live, and engage," said Elizabeth Clark, the family's benefactor for the College of Education's Percy Hughes Award.
