Lehigh University College of Arts and Sciences - Clara DeNicola
Clare DeNicola '85
Principal, the10company
Major:
English, Journalism
"At Lehigh, there were many opportunities to express myself creatively which enabled me to develop my strengths, and helped me to focus on the direction that would suit me best. By developing my communications skills, whether by writing articles and op-eds on tight deadlines twice a week for the Brown & White, pitching Historic Bethlehem Inc.'s Shad Festival for coverage by local broadcast and print outlets, or writing a paper for my Old English class, communication was at the core."

Corporate Partner, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP
Major:
Biological Sciences
"My education in CAS provided me with the skills and experience to tackle problems in different subject areas and to have the confidence to reach for solutions that may not be initially apparent. The undergraduate research that I conducted in the biology department gave me the opportunity to work as part of a team and taught me how to analyze facts and to exercise judgment about the next steps to take to try to reach the ultimate objective. I believe I graduated Lehigh with the academic wherewithal to pursue any desired career."
