Founder's Weekend

Join the Lehigh community at Founder's Weekend, as we celebrate the formal dedication of the renovated Clayton University Center at Packer Hall and more.

A sculpture of Asa Packer wears several brown hats stacked on its head, while students around it raise their arms, reaching toward the hats.

CELEBRATING LEHIGH AND ITS FOUNDER

For almost 150 years, Lehigh has been honoring Founder Asa Packer with a campus celebration of our past, present, and future.

This year's festivities include food and fun at the Founder's Festival, the installation of esteemed faculty chairs and academic leaders, an athletics tailgate and much more, all centered around the dedication of the renovated Clayton University Center at Packer Hall. Join us!
