She said she credits focus and repetition for her success.
Everyone belongs: The inside scoop on Get Joy
The smell hits before the door opens. Waffle cones fresh off the iron curl into shape behind the counter at Get Joy, an ice cream and coffee shop at 3592 Route 378 in Bethlehem. It’s not quite 7 a.m., and Nicole Frick is already elbows-deep in her morning routine: brewing coffee, sweeping floors, checking temperatures and cooling the day’s first batch of cones on a rack. “When you walk in, and the waffle cones are cooking, the smell is insane,” Frick said.

The Brown and White
Walking through Lehigh’s mail center during her first year unexpectedly set Iman Sajjad, ‘27, on a path to the leadership roles she holds today.

In this experimental film, Locating Cabbage, Robin gives us the feeling of being small through the use of sci-fi imagery and sound.
