Cloudy, rainy weather couldn't put a damper on Lehigh's very special 2016 Alumni Weekend.

Each year, loyal Lehigh alumni return to campus to reconnect with old classmates and celebrate their deep loyalty their alma mater. But this year's event was all the more special, as the campus community gathered to also mark the conclusion of Lehigh's year-long sesquicentennial celebration.

Lehigh visual storyteller Stephanie Veto was there to document this year's big event, and chatted with alums young and old about what Lehigh means to them—and what draws them back each year.
