BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh's annual Student-Athlete Awards Convocation will feature a different look this spring. The 20th edition of the year-end awards convocation will be presented digitally, May 4-8 on Lehigh Athletics' social media channels.

Videos will showcase the athletic department's highlights from the 2019-20 academic year as well as the department's bloopers from the past year. New this year, Lehigh alumni will be participating in the announcement of department awards, as several previous award winners will serve as presenters.
