LEHIGH REWIND The ʼ80s and ʼ90s were special decades on South Mountain. The ʼ80s marked a time of expansion with the addition of the Goodman and Mountaintop campuses, and the newly opened Stabler Arena brought some of the biggest names in music to campus, such as Billy Joel, Journey and AC/DC.
The ʼ90s saw the opening of Zoellner Arts Center and a growing campus arts scene, as well as the integration of technology into operations, with Lehigh becoming the first university in the country to create an independent digital satellite network to broadcast a class nationwide.
To celebrate these memories, the Lehigh Alumni social media accounts recently launched a series featuring photos and moments from decades past. Follow along and share your memories for a chance to be featured in an upcoming issue of the Bulletin.
