Lehigh University provides an education that lasts a lifetime. We blend the theoretical with the practical, and are proud of our ability to cross academic disciplines to provide an integrated learning experience. Our goal is to prepare students for not just their first job, but for their last one, as well.Asa Packer founded Lehigh in 1865. As an industrial pioneer, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Packer recognized the need for workers who were broadly educated in the liberal arts and sciences - young people who could combine practical skills with theory, judgment, reasoning and self-discipline. Even though time sometimes has a way of cementing or melting away intent, Asa Packer's vision of 1865 remains clear and true today as a guide for Lehigh’s future.

An ultrafine, 'nanoscale' powder made from iron, one of the most abundant metals on Earth, is turning out to be a remarkably effective tool for cleaning up contaminated soil and groundwater--a trillion-dollar problem that encompasses more than 1000 still-untreated Superfund sites in the United States, some 150,000 underground storage tank releases, and a staggering number of landfills, abandoned mines, and industrial sites. | | | | Nanogold does not glitter, but its future looks bright | 27 April 2004 - Lehigh University
At the nano-level, gold acquires a new shine, a new set of properties and a host of potential new applications. All that glitters is not gold, goes the old adage. But the shrinking frontiers of science require a qualifier - Gold itself does not always glitter. | |
