Mission Statement

"Our mission in the Lehigh Athletics Department is to advance learning, to develop leadership, and to foster personal growth through comprehensive athletics programming."

In executing our mission, we support the provision of equitable opportunities for all students and staff, including women and minorities. Our programs encourage and promote broad participation, challenging competition, sportsmanship, cooperation, teamwork, commitment, achievement, service to others, the development of enduring attributes and skills, and enjoyment. Programs are offered with intensity levels ranging from NCAA Division I intercollegiate sports, through competitive club sports and intramural sports, to a diversified program of recreational, instructional, and fitness opportunities.

We evaluate our effectiveness by assessing achievements relative to potential, personal growth of participants, and levels of involvement, support, and fulfillment.
