Welcome to Lehigh University!

We, the OFYE, along with Lehigh’s faculty, staff, and student leaders look forward to welcoming you to campus. The Orientation program is the first of many experiences that aim to help in your academic and social transition to Lehigh. Orientation is your chance to meet your new classmates and the student Orientation Leaders (OL), learn about Lehigh’s academic and social expectations, and have fun!

We have planned Orientation with four main learning outcomes in mind for students:

  1. Students will build a support network of faculty, staff and peers to aid in their transition.
  2. Students will be able to identify campus services and resources that will contribute to their health, safety and well-being.
  3. Students will gain an understanding of bLUeprint, the 5 Foundations and resources that will enhance their learning inside and outside the classroom.
  4. Students will understand their responsibility to promote an inclusive community through respect for self and others.

Below, you will find links with useful information to ensure your Orientation experience a successful one.
