Join the Lehigh Community in Creating a
Strategy for the Future

In the compressed timeframe of the next six months, Lehigh University will engage in a strategic thinking process where we will integrate our strategic plans and goals into institutional goals --- to enhance our intellectual footprint by developing a strategic framework. We are engaging in an inclusive and campus-driven process for the strategic thinking work, with a focus on getting the best ideas out and having full and probing discussions around the following three goals:

  • Investing in faculty and staff to be at the forefront of distinguished universities
  • Enhancing our distinctive student life and learning experience
  • Increasing research and graduate programs to respond to vital challenges

The goal is to engage a large and interested group of Lehigh faculty and staff in discussion to result in recommendations and implementation into the next five to 10 years.
