One of Lehigh's finest, most passionate and dedicated marketing professors of 11 years is being fired at the end of this semester. Professor Beth Gallant, a second generation Lehigh Alum, always takes a personal interest in her students’ success while at Lehigh and after graduation. She is being terminated at semesters end. The administrations reasoning for continuing with this decision violate Lehigh’s Principles of Our Equitable Community. Please help us stand up against this unwarranted termination and prove Professor Gallant’s importance to the Lehigh Student Body and Alumni.We are a group of students committed to supporting Beth. If you feel as strongly as we do, we encourage you to email us your personal experiences and testimonials. More voices heard, more change seen. Please send to [email protected]

Beth has been such a mentor to my peers and me that seeing her treated this way feels like a betrayal of the community she helped build. I spent my morning reading the emails you sent to the support inbox and the sheer volume of lives she impacted is staggering. We are currently organizing these testimonials to ensure the administration understands exactly who they are losing.

Seeing the momentum pick up for Professor Gallant feels incredible but we need to push past the hundred mark today to get the administration's attention. I am asking each of you to tell one person who values Beth's mentorship why her job must be protected.

Beth Gallant was one of my favorite professors at Lehigh--she challenged me, and introduced me to Consumer Behavior, a subject that I now want to make a career of. She deserves to stay at Lehigh and the students deserve to have her there to inspire them.
Reading all of these wonderful comments about Professor Gallant makes me wish I majored in marketing. She truly seems like a warm, caring professor who goes out of her way for her students' success and happiness. That's more than can be said for 60% of the other faculty/staff in CBE.
AMAZING PERSON!!! She helped me get my internship at Michael Kors and when it almost fell through and no other professors would help me or believed in me, she was the one right by my side supporting and helping me through the whole process.
Professor gallant changed my life and is the reason that I took marketing as my major and career path. She is an inspiration to everyone to work hard in your career, relationships, and life in general. I attribute my current career to what I learned from her classes.
Prof Gallant brought a real world aspect and feel to her class unlike many other professors. She is also an essential networking partner to many students , helping many get internships and jobs. Losing her would be a loss for the school and it's students.
Keep Prof. Gallant at Lehigh!!!
This is a shame

It's a shame to see that Lehigh doesn't appreciate Pofessor Gallant. As a 2012 graduate, I tribute a large part of my success in my Marketing & Advertising career to Professor Gallant. By far, I learned the most from her in my classes at Lehigh. It would be a shame to see her let go.
