Hosting 5x10 Programs

If you are a part of a Lehigh University office, program, or organization and would like to have an opportunity available for students, please read over the following criteria before submitting a 5x10 event proposal.

Program host or representative must attend an OFYE Information Session to review policies and procedures.
The event’s objectives must closely align with the selected 5x10 foundation and at least one of the learning outcomes associated with that foundation.
The event must include an element of student engagement where students will have an opportunity to connect their learning to the selected 5x10 foundation and reflect on their experience.
Participants’ learning in the foundation should be the main focus of the event. Social programs and information sessions will not be accepted.
The event must be submitted at least two weeks before the event’s date.
The venue in which the event is held must be contained to ensure that attendance is tracked accurately. If the event is held in a non-contained space, the host must outline a plan for accurate attendance tracking in the proposal form.
The submitting office/organization must be willing to assist with 5x10 attendance tracking which includes uploading the attendance to the LINC event page no more than 2 days after the event.
All programs must be approved by an OFYE staff member prior to advertising/hosting as a 5x10 event.
NEW: Program host must attend an OFYE Information Session to review the proposal and reporting process.

The last day for students to complete the 5x10 program requirement is Friday, October 31, 2025. Events that occur after October 31 will not be considered for the 5x10 program. The last day to submit a 5x10 event proposal is Friday, October 17, 2025. **The alignment to a 5x10 foundation and quality of student engagement may impact whether or not the program qualifies as a 5x10. In light of the updates to the bLUeprint Foundations, events that have been hosted in the past are not guaranteed to be approved again.**

Information Sessions

Information sessions will be required of a program host to submit a 5x10 program proposal. At these sessions, an OFYE Staff member will review the requirements and the process so that ideally the approval process will be more efficient and that the post-program requirements can be easily completed. Information sessions will be hosted through September 2025.

The initial information sessions are listed below:
