"Empowering Regional Impact Through Entrepreneurship: The Role for Universities" is an in-depth discussion on the roles of universities in the development of regional innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems. As part of its new strategic plan, Inspiring the Future Makers, Lehigh is reimagining its entrepreneurial footprint through a global lens that simultaneously builds on its strengths in entrepreneurship education and seeks to contribute to the expansion of the already vibrant Lehigh Valley entrepreneurial ecosystem. With its strong research base, industry-university collaborations, entrepreneurship education, talent access and development, technology transfer, idea incubators, start-up accelerators, and venture capital resources, the Lehigh Valley is poised to become a hub of entrepreneurship and innovation.



This symposium will delve into strategies employed by university, economic development, and government leaders in the Lehigh Valley and Germany’s Ruhr Area. The Ruhr Area, formerly a coal mining region, is now recognized in Europe for its thriving startup ecosystem, driven in part by robust university-industry-government partnerships. Conversations also will explore the relationship between immigration and entrepreneurship, specifically the roles that international students and scholars play at universities with research innovation.

Gateway to Himalayan Art introduces the main forms, concepts, meanings, and traditions of Himalayan art with objects from the collection of the Rubin Museum of Art, New York. A large multimedia map at the start of the exhibition orients viewers to the Himalayan region, which encompasses parts of present-day India, China, Nepal, Bhutan, and Mongolia. Gateway invites exploration of these diverse cultural spheres through exemplary objects presented in three thematic sections: Symbols and Meanings, Materials and Technologies, and Living Practices.

In addition to sculptures and paintings, the exhibition features a stupa, prayer wheel, and ritual implements that demonstrate how the commissioning, creation, and use of such objects are tied to the accumulation of merit and hopes for wealth, long life, and religious goals. Elsewhere medical instruments and related paintings address the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of sickness. Special installations include displays detailing the process of Nepalese lost-wax metal casting and the stages of creating a thangka, Tibetan hanging scroll painting.

This traveling exhibition is organized and provided by the Rubin Museum of Art and curated by Senior Curator of Himalayan Art Elena Pakhoutova. It is an integral component of the Rubin Museum’s Project Himalayan Art, a three-part initiative that also includes the publication Himalayan Art in 108 Objects and a new digital platform. Together they provide introductory resources for learning about and teaching Himalayan art.
