The Lehigh University Student Life Curriculum is a four-phase process for Lehigh students to (1) discover, (2) explore, (3) connect, and then (4) apply their learning across all five Foundations for Student Success. Students move through this cycle at their own pace, making bLUeprint a common experience that is big enough for everyone, yet personal to each student’s unique experience. The learning cycle helps students engage in and shape their learning process, while giving a common language to staff and faculty working alongside students as they self-author their personal developmental story.
Students are expected to be in different stages of their developmental process throughout their time at Lehigh, and beyond. Picture a first-year student versus a senior, or even a first-year student on move-in day compared to a first-year student departing for a service trip at Spring Break. As students connect with new people, new experiences, new activities, and new concepts in their classes they begin to reflect on their time on South Mountain, and they move through this cyclical path continuously during their time at Lehigh.
