Summer 2026
Sendoffs
Every summer, alumni and parents across the country host student Sendoffs to welcome our incoming students and families to Lehigh.
Show incoming students what the brown and white is all about at an annual student Sendoff.
Sendoffs set the stage for each student’s Lehigh journey. Before every school year, new students and families attend Sendoffs to connect with alumni, learn about South Mountain, and kick off their Lehigh experience. In 2025, more than 1,000 incoming students, alumni, and their families attended Sendoffs!

Community for Incoming Students
Incoming and current students are not just welcomed but encouraged to attend the Sendoffs in their region. New students will have the chance to meet current students in their area and learn sage advice from their peers as they begin their new life at Lehigh. Current students can both welcome new students to the Lehigh family and network with alumni in their area.
Peace of Mind for Parents
Parents are part of the Lehigh family too! Parents can come to Sendoffs to get the peace of mind they need to confidently send their student off to campus. Meet and share your excitement with other parents, alumni, and new and current students. This is one of the best places for parents to learn about what to expect as your student begins their journey at Lehigh.
Connection for Alumni
Share your love of Lehigh with new students and their families. We encourage all alumni to attend the Sendoffs to connect with the new class, answer any questions, and provide tips and tricks for a successful time at Lehigh. Don’t miss this opportunity to share your stories as well as the impact Lehigh has had on your life and career.
