The Perch

Introducing The Perch!

Introducing the new home of Lehigh news, resources and communications for students, faculty and staff.

The Perch is a new internal communications platform that will replace Inside Lehigh and features a community hub where all Lehigh students, faculty and staff can get and share important news, information, events and tailored content, while also interacting with the community.

We launched The Perch campus-wide today (Jan. 23).
