Good morning, Bethlehem.

Discover Lehigh Valley held an event at Archer Music Hall during National Travel and Tourism Week where regional leaders unveiled a redesigned website and a new destination commercial that will air on streaming and social platforms.

The updated website is set to launch mid-July 2025—designed with a user-first experience including AI-powered search and full-site language translation.

Two best friends started Lehigh’s GirlBoss Club in fall 2022 to help women learn finance and feel safe in male-dominated spaces — they handed leadership over to new co-presidents Kate Hirschen and Julia Pollak as they near graduation, and the club plans to revive free headshot events and resume resume workshops.

He balances sports, classes and his new business—he developed his game with help from the Baker Institute and plans to expand his brand soon.

Senior rower Jenna O’Dell at Lehigh launched her podcast, The Mountain Hawk Talk, to share stories from student athletes across 24 varsity teams and rowed in Lehigh’s varsity eight-plus boat that earned Patriot League Boat of the Week honors.
