Dagmawit Abate is a senior studying Economics in the College of Arts and Sciences. She is delighted to serve on the Iacocca Institute Student Advisory Board for the 2025–2026 school year. Her leadership journey began when she joined the Global Union as a sophomore, where she learned firsthand how much impact collaboration and initiative can have within a team. Being part of the Advisory Board is an opportunity she values deeply, as it allows her to continue exploring what leadership means—both through her own experiences and by learning from fellow students and the Lehigh community. Beyond academics, Dagmawit loves spending quality time with friends and exploring new hobbies. She looks forward to contributing to the Board and growing alongside an inspiring group of leaders.
