About Us

Lehigh University Business Services (UBS) is comprised of numerous departments: Printing and Mailing Services, Purchasing Services, Licensing, Travel, Stabler Arena, Transportation and Parking Services, Campus Square, and the Lehigh University Bookstore. The departments in UBS supply a multitude of products, services and programs to Lehigh University. Our vision and core purpose are guided by "The Four Principles."

    The Four Principles


    Exemplify Lehigh’s Values:
    We embrace and exemplify Lehigh’s values and adhere to the highest ethical standards.

    Do the Right Thing, Not the Quick Thing:
    As we identify issues, challenges, and opportunities to learn and grow, we will spend the time and effort required to do the right thing, not the quick or easy thing.

    Find the Best Fit for Lehigh:
    While we will continue to evaluate new trends, products, services, and “best practices” at other institutions of higher education, we will always pursue results that are in the best interest of Lehigh.

    Create Connections:
    We will never stop communicating, sharing successes, and encouraging one another within UBS, throughout F&A, and across the community.

    Our Vision


    Synchronize the Infrastructure:
    By constantly searching for the best possible fit, we offer something valuable to the University: Confidence that the infrastructure is synchronized with the University's Core Purpose and Goals.

    Our Core Purpose


    Provide the Infrastructure:
    Within the context of the University's Core Purpose and Goals, and with the focus on long range planning for faculty and staff, student life and learning, and research and graduate programs, Finance & Administration provides the infrastructure and actively participates in driving and advancing the University's Goals.
