Family Orientation

You are here

Welcome to the Lehigh Family! While we wish we could be hosting these sessions in person, creating a virtual orientation was the most effective and safest option to give you up-to-date information. Our Parent and Family Orientation is designed to introduce you to Lehigh University’s resources, academics, and student life. The information in the following videos and publications will allow you to better support your student as they, too, begin their journey. 

Be sure to check out the Family Field Guide for even more resources about the Lehigh community and the Orientation Times to read about the Lehigh experience from the student perspective and call our office with any questions that arise.
