Lehigh Alumni Pride Association (LAPA)

The Lehigh Alumni Pride Association (LAPA) exists to bring together Lehigh alumni who are members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual community (LGBTQIA), and our allies. Our efforts focus on keeping LGBTQIA and allied alums connected to one another and connected to Lehigh in order to foster an inclusive environment for all gender identities and sexual orientations.

The Lehigh Alumni Pride Association works to do the following:

• Provide a voice and presence in the alumni community for LGBTQIA+ and allied alums
• Build community and foster relationships for alumni, students, staff, and faculty in the LGBTQIA+ and allied community
• Advise the university and provide support for programs, policies, and practices that build and sustain an LGBTQIA+ inclusive community at Lehigh

Help Lehigh LGBTQIA+ students take the next step in their career. Join the Pride Center and LAPA on Lehigh Connects to make it easier for students in your field to find you! Sign up for a Lehigh Connects profile or update your bio to include how you can help LGBTQIA+ students, then make sure to write “Pride Center” or “LGBTQIA+” in your “More About You” section. Whether you identify as LGBTQIA+ or are an ally, this is a great way to help Lehigh students find their way. 

Meet fellow LGBTQIA+ alumni and allies across the country. Support students, attend events, and deepen your connection to Lehigh in the Lehigh Alumni Pride Association. Become a member, or find out if you can be one of the club’s next leaders.
