International Affairs

The Lehigh University Office of International Affairs (OIA) seeks to make the Lehigh community international and expand Lehigh’s footprint abroad. We are answering the call in the university’s strategic plan, Inspiring the Future Makers, which challenges Lehigh to broaden its global perspective and impact. We believe that people need to be able to analyze complex global challenges, cultivate an open mind and readiness to engage difference, and take responsible local action within larger contexts – and that global engagement is the best way to get there. Our goal is to position Lehigh as a globally influential university and a destination of choice for the brightest minds in the world.
