Our Mission

The mission of Government Affairs is shaped by two principles from the Seven Goals for Lehigh:

Lehigh should be known for excellence in research.
Lehigh must achieve greater visibility and recognition—regionally, nationally, and internationally. Lehigh must also take a leadership role as an engine for economic growth in the region, working collaboratively with city, county, state, and federal government.

The mission of Government Affairs is to support Lehigh University’s efforts to achieve these stated Goals. To do this, the staff actively works to:

Increase the University’s research and education funding.
Represent the University’s regulatory and legislative interests at all levels of government.
Enhance the University’s national, state, and regional recognition.
Maximize the University’s impact as an engine for economic growth.
Ensure the development of close alliances with all appropriate government agencies and offices that can help us advance the University’s stated mission.
