Lehigh University:

From the moment I stepped onto campus, I knew that there was something very special about Lehigh University. As you explore the website, I encourage you to take the time to get to know the people of the Lehigh community. It is our students, faculty and staff who make Lehigh one of the top universities in the nation.

Lehigh has become a prominent research university while also maintaining a dedication to providing a rich student experience. Our vibrant community of scholars encourages both undergraduate and graduate students to find their passion and to seek out the courses, educators and scholarly research that excite and stretch them, personally and academically.

A balanced education is built on the enduring vision of our founder, Asa Packer, who founded Lehigh in 1865 with the goal of blending classical and technical education to prepare students to succeed in a changing world.

Outstanding faculty, dedicated administrators and loyal alumni are firmly committed to educational excellence. We work together to make the Lehigh experience as productive, rich and valuable as possible for our undergraduate and graduate students.

I hope you will visit our beautiful campuses and will take the time to get to know Lehigh. It truly is a most extraordinary place.

Sincerely,

Alice P. Gast
