An education in the arts and humanities prepares students to be problem solvers, to advocate for themselves, and to chart the course of their lives and careers. For Lehigh Class of 1994 alumni Matt Berman, Andrew Kotchen, and Tom Zoli, their experiences in the department of Art, Architecture, and Design taught them how to build their own futures—together.
