Dear Lehigh Families,
Seeing students and families on South Mountain as we approach the start of the fall semester is a truly wonderful sight. For those of you who are visiting campus, welcome.
This is a time of transition and excitement for the entire Lehigh community. The preparations of our dedicated faculty and staff for the fall have been focused on providing an exceptional academic and co-curricular experience, and on supporting a safe and healthy living and learning environment for all students.
As I begin my tenure, I am excited to meet our new and returning students and also engage with you, our Lehigh families. All of us at the university value your trust and support.
I hope to meet some of you as I walk around the campus at various times during student move-in this week. There will be many opportunities for you to connect with Lehigh and for us to meet one another over the course of the semester, including at Family Weekend, September 17-19.
Welcome to Lehigh. I look forward to meeting many of you and to getting to know your Lehigh students in the years ahead.
With appreciation,
Joseph J. Helble ’82
President
