Research & Results

Lehigh has long been recognized as a university that pushes boundaries, driven by remarkable faculty who are not afraid to push boundaries. The recent achievement of attaining R1 status is a testament to the research they conduct across our campuses.

And the Rossin College has been the engine of that progress. Building on more than 150 years of engineering leadership and impact, our faculty-led research is changing the definition of possible. The R1 designation isn't a finish line—it’s a launching pad.

However, the landscape for discovery is shifting. With federal grant programs facing increased volatility, the availability of flexible research funding has never been more critical.

Your support this Giving Day + March Mania will provide our faculty with the resources needed to take today’s bold idea and turn it into tomorrow’s breakthrough. Because Lehigh engineers don't just theorize; we create.
