Virtual Diversity Achievers Program

Lehigh University values a diverse, inclusive and vibrant campus community, and we believe the best way for a student to learn whether a college or university is a good fit is by connecting with members of its community. This is why we offer select students the opportunity to immerse themselves in life at Lehigh through our culturally based program, the virtual Diversity Achievers Program (DAP). Virtual DAP will be held on Friday, October 22, 2021, and participants will have time to interact casually with current students, their admissions counselor and Lehigh’s Student Advocacy Centers virtually. They will also have the opportunity to attend virtual classes and to learn about support services.

Required items:

  • Diversity Achievers Program Application
  • Transcript (An unofficial transcript will be accepted)
  • Short Essay (500 words or less, prompt on the application)
     

Application materials are due by 11:59 p.m. EDT on Friday, September 24, 2021. Only complete applications submitted by the deadline will be considered. Students selected for the program will be notified of their selection by our office. The decision regarding your application to the Diversity Achievers Program is not indicative of the potential outcome should you submit a general application to Lehigh University.

If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Castro, Director of Diversity Recruitment, at jec315@lehigh.edu, or email LUDiversity@lehigh.edu.

Please remember that due to the selective nature of the program, we are unable to accommodate all students who submit applications. Those unable or not selected to attend DAP are still encouraged to participate in one of our ongoing virtual visit opportunities.
