The Lehigh Athletics Department is committed to developing a just, equitable, and inclusive community of learners in which our student-athletes, coaches, staff, and broader constituencies strive to learn, grow, and lead together.
A Declaration of Our Commitment to Inclusive Excellence and an Equitable Community of Learners
In alignment with Lehigh University, the Lehigh Athletics Department is dedicated to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment where all student-athletes, coaches, and staff can learn, grow, and compete at their highest level. Guided by our belief that “a better me is a better we,” we recognize that diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences strengthen our community and enhance our pursuit of excellence.
We are committed to fairness, respect, and opportunity for all, ensuring that our policies, programs, and practices reflect our values of integrity, accountability, and continuous improvement. Through collaborative engagement and thoughtful leadership, we strive to cultivate a culture of belongingwhere every member of our community feels valued and empowered to succeed.
Our commitment includes ongoing education, open dialogue, and proactive efforts to create an environment where equity and access are central to our mission. We will continue to examine and refine our structures and practices to ensure they support an environment of inclusivity, excellence, and shared success.
At Lehigh Athletics, we believe that championship culture extends beyond competition—it is built on respect, collaboration, and the collective commitment to fostering a dynamic and forward-thinking community.
