Think INSIDE the Little Brown Box!
Join us for a scavenger hunt that explores campus traditions, teaches you about the history of various staple monuments on campus, and explore what it means to wear Brown and White with pride! Each participant will receive their very own Little Brown Box with newly designed Lehigh University cards inside.
We strive for this to be an inclusive, accessible event that enables all individuals to engage fully. If you need accommodations to participate such as a printed scavenger hunt that does not require moving around the Asa Packer Campus, large print, quiet group work, etc., please let us know below and Sam Perry, Associate Director of Student Engagement, will reach out to you directly.

Trauma-informed yoga is a research proven way to help survivors of sexual trauma and those experiencing vicarious and secondary trauma heal from their trauma symptoms. It is a combination of focused breathing and mindfulness skills, as well as healing poses. Trauma-informed yoga is an opportunity to learn how to work with your own discomforts. It is a judgment free zone where every participant is able to go at their own pace and skill level. The practice is not meant to be a high cardio or strength training workout, it focuses on grounding, breathing, and mindfulness with comfortable, stretching poses.
Our instructor, Liz Jordon, is certified in trauma-informed practice. The instructor does not leave her own mat and will never touch participants to adjust their pose throughout the practice. It is a space where your body is entirely yours.
Students, faculty, and staff of all gender identities at all levels of healing from primary, secondary, and vicarious trauma are welcome and can benefit from trauma-informed yoga.
Visiting Africana Studies faculty fellow B. Brian Foster is an ethnographer and multi-medium storyteller working to document and interpret the culture, folklore, and placemaking practices of Black communities in the rural U.S. South. For the last ten years, he has set his work in several towns and small communities in north Mississippi, where he was born and raised. Brian’s areas of expertise include the sociology of racism and race, place studies, urban/rural sociology, and qualitative methods. His perspective and theoretical orientation are rooted in the histories and paradigms of Black Sociology and the Black Radical Tradition. We will screen two of Brian’s award winning short films, We Travel (2020), We Dance (2021), and his forthcoming film We Make. Brian’s films explore the future of the south. After the screening, Brian will join Lehigh Professor of Political Science, Vera Fennell in conversation.
