The Lehigh Libraries' current exhibit "Unfinished Chapter: The First 250 Years of American Liberty" examines the complex history of freedom in America and its ongoing resonance today. Grounded in the themes of Unfinished Revolutions and the Power of Place, the exhibit includes rare publications from the country's founding, historical texts highlighting democratic ideals, emblems of American liberty, and student-curated reflections on global freedom and identity. The exhibit is on display in Linderman Library and Fairchild-Martindale Library from January 19 through July 31, 2026 during regular building hours.
Included are materials drawn from the Lehigh Libraries Special Collections, including a look at the history of the Statue of Liberty; publications about the Centennial Exposition in Philadlephia; and original documents bearing the signatures of nine signers of the Declaration of Independence.
The exhibit is also available online.
To celebrate the launch of the 2026 issue of Amaranth, Lehigh Libraries will host a Sonnet Slam moderated by Professor Bob Watts (English). Poets published in the latest issue of Amaranth will be featured readers, but all are welcome to read their own poetry. This event is a collaboration between Lehigh Libraries, the Lehigh Creative Writing Program, and the LTS Diversity & Inclusion Committee. Pizza will be served. Registration required.

Our symposium is a celebration of the semester-long projects that students undertook in TRAC 110, The Writing Process. The course is an immersion in writing and revision for students in the TRAC (Technology, Research, and Communication) Writing Fellows Program at Lehigh. TRAC 110 builds on the student-centered approach to learning that was introduced in our fall training course, TRAC 100, and is devoted to curiosity, inquiry, creativity, collaboration, and feedback. Students work on a major project that involves writing with multiple iterations that is self-designed and personally meaningful. The projects and processes that students engage with are the drivers and vehicles of learning. This semester, the course was co-taught by Avery McGarry (A&S ’26) and Archer Benedict (A&S ’26) with mentorship from Justin Greenlee as Director of Writing Across the Curriculum.
The style of the TRAC 110 Symposium is a writers showcase. There will be a red carpet! Each student will give a brief presentation that excerpts from or summarizes their complete work. We will enjoy a mix of creative nonfiction, memoir, research papers, documentary filmmaking, plays, videography, game development, reflective writing, and stop motion animation. Students in the seminar are: Heidi Bauer (’28), Casey Braff (’26), Kaitlyn Campbell (’26), Juan Diego Cisneros (’28), Joseph Correra (’28), Alli Courtenay (’26), Tyreese Davidson (’26), Blair Dickinson (’26), Hanna Essey (’26), Natalie Javitt (’26), Shoaa Khan (’28), Sabrina Lee (’27), Sophia Taskov (’26), and Maahi Zaman (’26).

We hope you will join us on May 4th!
All the best,
