Welcome to the Lehigh Wall Street Council Web Site

The LWSC was born out of a very simple but compelling fact that has been evident to many grads for decades: The Lehigh presence in the financial services industry is incredibly strong, visible and vibrant. The idea for the Council came about through discussions between several LU alums from the industry, a few dedicated Lehigh staff members and Professor James Greenleaf. We decided that we wanted to turn this presence into a community and a network that would provide business and career opportunities to Lehigh alums “on the Street.” We also wanted to build channels that would assist Lehigh students to find career and internship opportunities in the financial world.

After several years of work and with the passion and dedicated effort of a number of key people, the LWSC has made good progress in these areas. More and more Lehigh grads in the industry are getting involved, attending our events, networking with their peers, and helping students get their start. It's been an exciting process watching this idea become a reality, and I'm confident that there will be many more positive developments in the months and years ahead.

We still have much to do to make the most of this mission. If you are a Lehigh alum who works in financial services or a related business, I encourage you to get involved. The LWSC can provide you with business contacts, enhance your career prospects, and renew and strengthen your ties to Lehigh. Use this website to add your name to our mailing list and we will keep you informed about our events and activities.

I hope to see you soon at a LWSC event.
