FAREWELL TO:

Tom Dubreuil accepts position at Moravian College

As dean of students at Moravian College, Tom will be responsible for areas including Housing & Summer Conferences, Residence Life & Greek Life, Conduct, Behavioral Intervention Team, Career Development, Student Activities, and Student Affairs efforts related to First Year Students.  I am certain that his cumulative experiences at Lehigh have him poised and ready to hit it out of the park on the North Side.

Tom began working at Lehigh as Assistant Dean in June 1997. After two years in his academic support role, he assumed the role of Student Conduct Officer before eventually being promoted to Associate Dean in 2000.  Prior to arriving at LU, Tom worked at Colgate University for four years.  

He has been an integral part of many of the significant and positive evolutions of student life at Lehigh for the past 15 years.  He played a significant role in the "Strengthening Greek Life" initiative, co-authoring the infamous 2002 "white paper" that kicked it all off.  His imprint is evident in the areas of Student Conduct, Fraternity & Sorority Affairs, Residence Life, and more recently Student Activities and Facilities.   In addition, he is part of our LU dean of students leadership team, which facilitated the successful Appreciative Inquiry planning process over the past two years.
