Mission statement
The dean of students office at Lehigh University is dedicated to providing a student-centered, cocurricular environment that enhances the academic mission of the university and embodies the belief that learning is not confined solely within traditional classroom boundaries. As a part of the Lehigh experience, through the programs, services and interactions provided by the dean of students office, students are encouraged to be better citizens, dynamic leaders and individuals who are guided by integrity. We are committed to challenging Lehigh students to broaden their world view in a campus culture that respects individual differences.

Core values from the dean of students office:

Fostering a diverse environment We seek to learn from, listen to and understand the experiences of individuals that differ from ourselves in all aspects. We continually ask the question, “What voice(s) may be missing from this discussion?” We respect individual differences and commonalities and realize that there is great value in a multicultural community. We actively seek to expose ourselves and our students to the value of a diverse environment, with diversity being defined in its broadest sense. We actively seek to compose our staff of individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences.
