Lehigh University Athletics
Our Mission Statement
Our mission in the Lehigh Athletics Department is to Educate through Athletics, Inspire our Community and Develop Leaders.
In executing our mission we support the provision of equitable opportunities for all students and staff, in an environment where all individuals are respected and empowered.
Our programs promote and provide opportunities for broad participation, challenging competition, sportsmanship, cooperation, teamwork, commitment, achievement, service to others, enjoyment and the development of enduring attributes and skills. Programs are offered with intensity levels ranging from NCAA Division I intercollegiate sports, through competitive club sports and intramural sports, to a diversified program of recreational, instructional, and fitness opportunities.
We evaluate our effectiveness by assessing achievements relative to potential, the personal growth of participants, and measures of the levels of involvement, support, and fulfillment.
