Lehigh University established the Western Regional Office (Lehigh West) in 2016 to extend its reach and impact across the West Coast. As a strategic extention of the university, Lehigh West advances institutional goals and priorities through student recruitment, academic engagement, and programmatic initiatives.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Lehigh West offers direct proximity to Silicon Valley, placing students, faculty and programs in the heart of the world's most dynamic innovation ecosystem. Lehigh West also expands opportunties for West Coast communities and global networks to engage with the university's vibrant ecosystem of talent, programs, and research.

As part of university's national presence, Lehigh West works in close collaboration with campus partners in Bethlehem, PA to act as a West Coast hub for immersive learning, dynamic career pathways, and tranformative partnerships. It connects students, faculty, alumni, and industry leaders through real-world experiences that launch careers, ignite innovation, and build lifelong networks.
