the Carter Presidential Center. Carter addressed an awe-struck
crowd of nearly 100 Lehigh alumni, family, friends and even incoming

work of the Carter Center, which offers direct aid at the grassroots
level and often works side by side to the people they are helping.

and soon-to-be President of Wittenberg University, followed by
a cocktail reception and tour of The Jimmy Carter Library and
