Squawk is a new feature in the Lehigh Alumni Bulletin that captures your online posts and reflections in response to questions or fill-in-the-blank statements posted on Lehigh's Alumni Facebook Page and our other social media channels.
Before publication of each issue, we'll seek your comments on a new post about life at Lehigh–or seek your advice for new graduates or incoming students.
This time we asked what you will always remember about your graduation day.
Here are some of your responses:
