BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Lehigh is proud to announce a part­nership with The Zone, an app designed to monitor and improve the mental health of athletes. The partnership will promote the physical and mental wellness of Lehigh's student-athletes as a continued priority for the university.
 
 "The Lehigh Athletics Department is deeply committed to the health, well-being, ho­listic growth and personal development of our athletes and staff. The Zone offers an exciting tool that we believe will leverage and support the efforts of our staff to inspire self-awareness in each of our athletes as well as ownership of their personal growth process.
