Western Regional Office

Lehigh established the Western Regional Office to extend educational opportunities for Lehigh students and faculty by building curricular and research partnerships with dynamic enterprises in selected key western cities. Areas of Lehigh's west coast engagement include: academic programs, student recruitment, alumni relations, industry partnerships, and career services.

A foundational partnership that helped launch Lehigh's presence in Silicon Valley was Lehigh@NasdaqCenter, an eight-year exclusive academic-industry partnership between Lehigh University and the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center in San Francisco. Today, Lehigh's commitment to facilitating student engagement in the Bay Area remains strong through dynamic interdisciplinary Silicon Valley-based programming, like LehighSiliconValley, Startup Academy, Innovation Internship, and the Silicon Valley Social Impact Fellowship.
