We are built for tomorrow's challenges.

Lehigh students come from across the globe and across the world, from different backgrounds with interest in different disciplines, but a common thread runs through them all—they believe that with every challenge comes opportunity.

"The people I've met at Lehigh are not only some of the smartest I know, but also the kindest. Whether you're looking for help with a class, finding a research opportunity, or applying for a nationally-competitive scholarship, you won't have to search for long before finding someone who is well informed & willing to help."

"I started a venture capital company, Remat Investments in Ghana with a license to do business across the African continent. The company's focus is to provide funding for startups across the continent in impact industries like technology, agriculture, health care and real estate. I want to work for an investment banking firm in America for about two years after graduation before taking a full time role with the venture business."

"Being a student-athlete at Lehigh has been one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of my life. It has taught me how to balance school, athletics, and extra-curriculars while maintaining strong relationships with my teammates and classmates. I have made some of my closest friends as a student-athlete who have always supported me in every aspect of life."

"Based on my experience as a Computer Science and Business (CSB) student, Lehigh is preparing its students to become experts in multiple spheres rather than one...all students of Lehigh can easily get involved in undergraduate research through the Mountaintop program, or develop themselves as entrepreneurs through Lehigh Baker Institute which runs many interesting programs throughout a year. One of them is the Global Entrepreneurial Fellowship where students have the opportunity to "learn about the entrepreneurial process and contribute real impact by working with startups and entrepreneurial leaders in a global setting."

"A lot of my research focus has been analyzing the data collected about COVID-19 within Native American communities...Researching and working in ways that help people is something that I have always wanted to be a part of and this research opportunity has been a stepping stone to do so."

"I feel like if your life is only centered around your academics and things you do in class you are not truly getting anything out of college or life. I feel like my extracurriculars allow me to explore what I care about and critically think about how I can apply my major or the things I learn in class to real jobs, etc."
