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.

  • The event’s objectives must closely align with the selected 5x10 foundation and at least one of the learning outcomes associated with that foundation. bLUeprint Foundations and outcomes can be found here.
  • 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 last day to submit a 5x10 event proposal is Friday, October 16, 2026. 
  • 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 report 5x10 attendance 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.

The last day for students to complete the 5x10 program requirement is Friday, October 30, 2026. Events that occur after October 30 will not be considered for the 5x10 program.

Review of 5x10 proposals will not begin until June 8, 2026.


The LINC platform will be updated this summer. More information about tracking attendance and how students will view events to be shared before August.
