Ty’Lin Mitchell came to Lehigh University from New Iberia, Louisiana–that’s a 1,400-mile journey. And Louisiana has not sent many students to Lehigh in the past: In the fall semester of 2024, 71.5% of Lehigh students were from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut. So how did the electrical engineering major hear about the university? It comes down to the power of teachers—and networking. Ty’Lin had the same math teacher throughout his high school years...
