Does anyone write in cursive anymore? Can anyone read your handwriting? What about handwritten documents from hundreds of years ago? In this 5x10 students will learn about the intersections between alphabets, languages, cultures, and scripts. We will analyze unique manuscripts written from the Middle Ages to the Modern period in languages including Latin, English, and Arabic. We will demonstrate how to transcribe sections of text in unfamiliar scripts and languages and attempt to translate the text to decode its meaning. Learn how to adapt to challenging and unfamiliar forms of communication. This session will provide an opportunity to interact with centuries-old material and learn about the rare and historical material available through the Lehigh Libraries Special Collections.

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.
Please sign up at lehigh.edu/go/tbybyoga
Trauma-informed yoga is a research proven way to help survivors of sexual trauma and those experiencing vicarious 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.
Register HERE for the 68th Annual Turkey Trot/Too Hot to Trot on Thursday, November 16th at 4:20 pm sharp. This annual intramural tradition has always been the premier community "kick off" event held on the Thursday prior to the playing of the 159th meeting of the Lehigh / Lafayette Rivalry. The Trot is a 2.4-mile run beginning on the ASA Packer Campus, winding up “The Hill” featuring the beautiful landscape of upper campus.
Participation in the Trot is open to all current full -time Lehigh University students, faculty, and staff.
The Too Hot To Trot is a 1-mile alternative for those faculty and staff that enjoy a casual stroll through the quaint section of the lower Asa Packer Campus while still enjoying the excitement of tradition and camaraderie of their peers.
Students will be required to meet with a faculty/staff member at least twice for 30 minutes (once in September and once in October). During these meetings, faculty/staff members will help students set academic and personal goals, consider resources for success, and encourage thoughtful reflection around bLUeprint's 5 Foundations. The first meeting will include discussing the student's overall transition to Lehigh, goal setting, and planning and tracking progress of the 5x10 program. The first meeting should take place in September around week 3 of classes.
