Ahmed Noureldaem, ‘24, struggled to find an active Muslim organization on campus when he arrived in 2020. For the next three years, he worked tirelessly with fellow students to form an active Muslim Student Association that led weekly Jumu’ah prayers, fundraised for Ramadan dinners and provided emotional support to over 300 students.

This fall, Lehigh’s Dialogue Center welcomed Tariq Ameer, the first full-time Director of Muslim Student Life.

In celebration of Black Excellence Month, the Office of Diversity, Inclusion & Equity has partnered with Lehigh Athletics to bring you the story of a former student-athlete or coach of color. The first feature is on former graduate assistant soccer coach Renee Washington. Congrats, Renee, on your induction into the La Salle Athletics Hall of Fame, and thank you for sharing your expertise and your story with Lehigh!

In many ways, Renee Washington's sports media career is much like her soccer career – with not only her success, but also the road she took to reach her destination.
