Lehigh University presentation

From Moderator:

Letter to the Brown and White, Lehigh

Tried sending this through web site but the verification clicker is off. You might check it. Thanks

I wanted to thank the B & W for its great coverage and the students and Greek Affairs staff at Lehigh
University for its amazing warm welcome when I appeared at campus. You and Geoff Baird might want to make
a short clarification on the online page, however. As I said in my talk, the baseball article I wrote was done as a participatory journalist, not
as a roster player; I’ve also on magazine assignments done other sports such as rodeo but always for
published magazine articles. See that article here for clarification only: hanknuwer.com/noruns

Thanks for clearing that up, Editor. Best wishes for a great school year. And thanks to all at Lafayette for a great experience. This is my second time to
speak at Lehigh. Both times I came away thinking what a classy school I just visited–and was grateful for its dedication to keeping students safe.

He also won third place for the column in 2022 from the Indiana chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. He and his wife Gosia, recently of Union City, Ind., have owned 20 acres in Alaska for many years. “The move is a sort-of coming home for us,” said Nuwer. As a journalist, he’s written about the Alaskan Iditarod sled-dog race and other Alaska topics.
