First Day of Classes. Whether you’re fully remote or hybrid this year, we hope you have a great day!

Movie Night. As a part of orientation week, Lehigh After Dark had movie showings on the UC lawn and behind Taylor gym, giving first year students the opportunity to spread out and enjoy time on their new campus. 

Yoga on the UC Lawn, an orientation event hosted by Lehigh After Dark with some of our favorite fitness instructors from Taylor Gym was held in two different sessions for first year students. Spots were limited to allow for social distancing. 

Today we welcomed the inaugural class in our College of Health! 

Lehigh After Dark hosted several socially distant ceramics sessions for first year students as a part of orientation weekend. Be sure to check out their site for new programming throughout the semester!

We love our Class of 2024, and their families. 

Moving in. Welcome, Class of 2024!

Lehigh students are coming together to create a slideshow as a thank you for all of the people fighting COVID-19. If you’re a current student, or a Lehigh alum and would like to participate, send us your thank you image! If you’re a Lehigh student or alum working to fight COVID-19, we want to thank you. Contact Brianna Maslonka (bem222 at Lehigh) for more information. 

On Fridays we wear Brown and White.

It’s "Brown and White" Friday, and Dean Flowers has been keeping our spirits up with a series of musical performances. He’s covered a teaching version of “I Will Survive,” and he's written a Lehigh version of “Folsom Prison Blues” and an electric version of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” in honor of colleague Linda Mery’s retirement. Happy Friday!  

So much brown and white love from faculty and senior leaders! 

If there is an upside to this pandemic, Jenny Lin `21 is finding it with her family. "It's been great being able to spend some more time with them (though we are getting a bit bored!).”

Lehigh solidarity for the seniors! Marching 97 alum from all over the country have been sending you good wishes (and psyche) to cheer you up.
