Campus

Main article: Lehigh University Buildings
Alumni Memorial Building on the Asa Packer campus

Located in the heart of the Lehigh Valley, the university is within comfortable driving distance of Philadelphia and New York City. The Lehigh Valley enjoys a rich cultural history and vibrant economic environment that has been fueled by strong growth in technology companies, many of which partner with Lehigh.

The 1,600-acre wooded campus includes more than 153 buildings with 4.3 million square feet of classroom, laboratory, office and living space. It also has 180 acres of recreational and playing fields and half of the campus is preserved as open space.

Lehigh is organized into three contiguous campuses:

  • the Asa Packer Campus, Lehigh's main campus;
  • the Mountaintop Campus, featuring an intramural sports field as well as Iacocca Hall; and
  • the Murray H. Goodman Campus, where a 16,000-seat stadium and other sports facilities are located.

Lehigh's main campus is built into the side of South Mountain.

Academics

Lehigh's average class size is 25–28 students; 73% of classes have fewer than 30 students. The undergraduate student-to-faculty ratio is 9:1.[2]

The 2009 edition of US News & World Report's Best Colleges ranked Lehigh in its "Most Selective" admissions category and 35th in the "National Universities (Doctoral)" category.[5] The The Princeton Review classifies it among the "Best Northeastern Colleges".

Lehigh University offers undergraduate enrollment within three different colleges. These divisions, however, do not restrict students from taking courses or majoring/minoring in a subject outside of their respective college. This option allows students at Lehigh to enhance their education and take full advantage of all that Lehigh academics have to offer.

P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science

Graduates of Lehigh's engineering programs invented the escalator and founded Packard Motor Car Company and the companies that built the locks and lockgates of the Panama Canal. Roger Penske of Penske Racing is an alumnus. Students from Lehigh's Materials Science and Engineering department were chosen to assist in the analysis of debris from the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. Tau Beta Pi, the renowned engineering honors society, was founded at Lehigh.

College of Business and Economics

In 2008, BusinessWeek ranked Lehigh's College of Business and Economics 25th in the nation among undergraduate business programs.[6] Lehigh's accounting program is particularly strong, ranked as the number one undergraduate accounting program in the nation by BusinessWeek. The finance program is also strong, ranked as the 18th best undergraduate program in the nation by BusinessWeek.[7] Accounting and finance majors at Lehigh are heavily recruited by Big Four auditors, consulting firms, and investment banks. Additionally, BusinessWeek ranked Lehigh's part-time MBA fifth in the nation and first in the region in 2007.[8]

Most business college classes take place in the Rauch Business Center, which includes four computer labs. The Rauch Business Center also includes a financial services lab where students have access to premium investment research equipment.

College of Arts and Sciences

Athletics

Main article: Lehigh Mountain Hawks

Called the Engineers until 1995, Lehigh's teams are now officially known as the Mountain Hawks, although teams prior to 1995 may be referred to by the older title. They mostly compete in the Patriot League as part of NCAA's Division I.

Lehigh competes in 25 different NCAA Division I sports. Despite the rigor of its academic programs, its 2006 student-athlete graduation rate of 97% ranks 12th among all 326 NCAA Division I institutions. In 2002, it won the inaugural USA Today/NCAA Foundation Award for having the nation's top graduation rate of all Division I institutions. Lehigh student-athletes' success on the field and in the classroom has resulted in Lehigh being one of the 20 Division I schools included in U.S. News & World Report's "America's Best College Sports Programs." Lehigh graduates have gone on to professional careers in the National Football League, Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer,and the National Basketball Association as players, scouts, coaches and owners. Lehigh graduates have competed in the Super Bowl and won gold medals for the USA at the Olympics.

Wrestling

The most storied athletic program at Lehigh is its wrestling team. Over the past several decades it has turned out several All-Americans and had numerous squads finish with Top 20 NCAA national rankings. Under coach Greg Strobel, recent teams have dominated the EIWA league. On April 15, 2008, the athletic department announced the hiring of former assistant coach and two-time national champion Pat Santoro as Lehigh's next head coach.

"The Rivalry"

Main article: Lehigh-Lafayette football games (The Rivalry)

Lehigh University is notable for its rivalry in sports and academics with nearby Lafayette College. Since 1884, the two football teams have met 144 times, making "The Rivalry" the most played in the history of college football. It is also the longest uninterrupted rivalry in college football, with the teams playing at least once every year since 1897. The Rivalry is considered one of the best in all of college athletics and ESPNU recently ranked The Rivalry #8 in their Top Ten College Football Rivalries. This game is sold out long before gameday each year.

History

Asa Packer
Main article: Lehigh University History

Asa Packer named his university 'Lehigh' after his other passion, the railroad, despite suggestions from some to call it 'Packer University'. It was founded to provide a well-rounded education for young men, combining a liberal and scientific education with the technical skills necessary to increase the prosperity of the region. According to William Bacon Stevens, the first president of the board of trustees, Asa Packer's founding gift of $500,000 was the largest single endowment for a literary institution at that time.[14]

From 1871 to 1891, Packer's endowment allowed the institution to offer its education free of charge by competitive exam.[14] This, plus its blend of engineering and liberal arts, attracted some of the nation's brightest students, many of whom went on to distinguished careers in industry and engineering.

Unlike other engineering schools of the day, Lehigh was envisioned as a university instead of an "institute of technology," offering an education that was rooted in both scientific and classical traditions as espoused by John Amos Comenius.[14] Initially there were five schools: four scientific (civil engineering, mechanical engineering, mining and metallurgy, and analytical chemistry) and one of general literature. Over time, additional areas of the arts and sciences were added and engineering curricula were both merged and expanded.

Lehigh's seal

The stock market crash accompanying the Panic of 1893 was a major financial blow to the university, since its endowment was largely invested in stocks, particularly shares of Lehigh Valley Railroad donated by the founder.[14] As a consequence, Lehigh decided to drop its Episcopal Church affiliation in 1897, allowing it to qualify for state and federal government aid.

Based on the experience of Lehigh engineers who went into industry[15] a College of Business & Economics was added in 1910. Lehigh's business curriculum was unique[15] in that it combined both the abstract emphasis on Economics seen in the Ivy League with the practical skills of management seen in more common business administration degrees given by other universities.

A similar emphasis on the well-rounded graduate can be seen in Lehigh's approach to education degrees. Lehigh's respected School of Education started as (and remains) a solely graduate-level program. This is based[15] on the principle that you need to learn primary subject matter well before you can learn how to teach it to others. Thus future teachers at Lehigh often take a five year program earning both a Bachelors Degree in a specialized field and a Masters Degree in Education.

In July 2008, the Dalai Lama held a public lecture and conducted a series of teachings at Lehigh University.[16]

Notable Alumni

Main article: List of Lehigh University alumni

Greek Life

Nearly all of Lehigh's fraternities and sororities have their own houses which are owned by the university; most of the fraternities and sororities are located on the "Hill" along Upper and Lower Sayre Park Roads. Approximately 34% of undergraduates are members of a Greek organization. There are currently 18 fraternities and 9 sororities on campus:

Fraternities

Sororities

Spirit and traditions

Lehigh students have several lasting traditions: Lehigh's school colors, brown and white, date back to 1874, and the school newspaper of the same name was first published in 1894.

Following the death of Asa Packer in May 1879, the University established "Founder's Day" to be held in October to remember and recognize those have contributed to the success of the University. The event remains an annual tradition.

Freshmen are traditionally inducted into the University in a convocation in Packer Chapel and welcomed at a Freshman-Alumni Rally where their class flag is given to them by the class from fifty years before.

Until the 1970s, freshmen wore small brown hats with their class numbers called "dinks" from the beginning of the fall semester until the Lafayette football game. The week leading up to the big game was full of festivities created to unite the students and fuel spirit. In one of these events, "The Pajama Parade," the freshmen were led across the penny toll bridge in their pajamas singing "We Pay No Tolls Tonight" to the Moravian College dormitories where they would serenade the women. The week before the game still involves decoration of the Greek houses, a bonfire, parties, rallies and the Marching 97 performing unexpectedly during classes the Friday before the game.

While the riots to rip down the goal posts in Taylor Stadium are a thing of the past, many alumni return for the Lafayette game (which is usually sold out a month in advance) to root Lehigh on, to attend parties at their former fraternities and sororities, and to see old friends.[15]
