Accounting students participate in a large number of professional organizations, including the Accounting Club and the honor society, Beta Alpha Psi. The College of Business and Economics also offers professional organizations such as Beta Gamma Sigma, and brings to campus successful business professionals. Besides providing technical topics, these activities expose students to (1) the accounting profession, (2) professional certification, and (3) leardership, team building, and interpersonal skills. In addition, the activities also identify career opportunities in the accounting profession. Finally, accounting students have ample opportunity to interact with other students, faculty, alumni, and business professionals.

Students may also wish to participate in a variety of volunteering opportunities, including tutoring/mentoring, working in children's centers, helping senior citizens and those facing homelessness, poverty, and hunger. Examples of these special project initiatives are Habitat for Humanity and the Star Academy (tutoring and mentoring of middle and high school students).

On campus, many students enjoy athletic events, either watching Division I sports, or actively participating in a large number of intramural and club sports. In addition, students take advantage of the many music, dance, and theater events at the highly-regarded, on-campus Zollener Arts Center and the Stabler Arena. Because Lehigh University is close to New York City and Philadelphia, students also attend sports and cultural events at nearby world famous venues.
