Welcome

Congratulations!

You have made it to one of the most exhilarating experiences of your life…college! College is a time of growth and change for students and their families. During your first year at Lehigh, The Office of the First-Year Experience (OFYE) is here to provide you with resources and support to make your transition a successful one.

Being a Lehigh student means you are involved, engaged and an active participant in your learning. During your first year, we focus on four developmental areas:

• Intellectual Exploration- Exploring not only how you learn best, but also developing an appreciation for life-long learning.
• Individual Identity Development- Exploring and understanding your personal attitudes, beliefs, and feelings about yourself and answering the classic question “Who Am I?”.
• Interpersonal Relationships- Understanding who you are in relationship to others and how to evaluate the relationships you develop with your new community of students, faculty and staff.
• Community Development- Developing a sense of personal responsibility for promoting the growth of the larger community and recognizing how your individual contributions can impact it.

The OFYE also plans events throughout the academic year to support your living and learning experiences at Lehigh. We want you to be successful at Lehigh, and we will do everything we can to help keep you on the right track. We are excited you will be joining the Lehigh community and we want to help you make the most out of your experience!
