Lehigh Athletics Partnership



Lehigh University Athletics
Mission Statement
 
The mission of the Lehigh University Athletics Department is to advance learning, develop leadership skills, and foster personal growth through comprehensive athletics programming.
 
The importance of alumni involvement in our mission
 
In the increasingly competitive field of intercollegiate athletics, alumni involvement provides the competitive edge.  There are so many ways in which Lehigh alumni can help us accomplish our mission.  Here is a list of just a few:
 
  • Identification of athletics prospects
  • Attendance at athletics contests
  • Wear Lehigh athletics apparel
  • Support our business ventures (on-line merchandise store, internet broadcasting, photo store, camps & clinics, golf facility, and more!)
  • Mentor our student-athletes in their chosen career fields
  • Provide internships & job opportunities
  • Be an active member of your sport-specific Partnership
  • Contribute financially to enhance our operation
           
The Lehigh Athletics Partnership
 
To enable our former student-athletes to remain connected and to be a positive factor in their sport at Lehigh, the Lehigh Athletics Partnership was formed.  We consciously chose this name because we are all partners in the development of the young men and   women who wear the Brown & White today.
 
The Athletics Partnership Mission Statement
 
The mission of the Lehigh Athletics Partnership is to provide a framework and support system that will enable our former student-athletes to remain connected to their Lehigh sports program, and all who participated in it, in a manner that’s fun and impactful for the sport they played.
 
The birth of sport-specific Partnerships
 
Because our former student-athletes identify so specifically and completely with the sport(s) they played at Lehigh and because they can have the greatest impact within their sport, we have decided to launch sport-specific Partnerships for each of our varsity sports. These sport-specific Partnerships operate very much like the regional alumni clubs that form the Lehigh Alumni Association.  They are run by the alumni of those sports with support from the Lehigh Athletics Partnership office.  Please see the roll-out schedule below:
