You’re graduating from Lehigh, but this isn’t goodbye — it’s the next step in being part of something even bigger — 88,000 alumni big.
The Lehigh Promise is a shared commitment to build connections, get involved, stay invested, and uphold the traditions that make Lehigh special. By making your promise, you’re showing that Lehigh isn’t just where you went to school. It’s a part of who you are.
Your Promise In Action
CONNECTIONS: Commit to building connections within Lehigh’s alumni community.
- Follow our alumni accounts on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
- Sign up for Lehigh Connects to take advantage of unique job opportunities and career support.
- Join one or more of Lehigh’s affinity groups or professional alliances.
INVOLVEMENT: Commit to getting involved by attending more than one in-person or virtual event.
- Find your regional network and engage with fellow alumni near you.
- Discover opportunities to meet and network with other young alumni.
TRADITIONS: Commit to upholding the traditions that make Lehigh special.
- Share your knowledge with incoming students at a Sendoff.
- Return to campus to carry your class flag at the Rally or to celebrate Founder’s Weekend.
- Show off your Brown and White spirit during the Lehigh-Lafayette Rivalry tailgate, game, or telecast.
- Relive your glory days during Reunion.
INVESTMENT: Commit to investing in the value of your degree and the next generation of Lehigh students. Every year through your five year Reunion, make a gift of $20 to Lehigh that supports both what you love and those who come next. Your $20 gift is split equally:
- $10 to something you’re passionate about — like an athletics team, student club, department, or college.
- $10 to the Lehigh Promise Fund, an endowment fund that supports financial aid and scholarships for future students.
