Note that most Volunteer Leadership positions ask that alumni return to campus for some meetings or activities, and that alumni participate in calls, digital outreach, and other work between those meetings. That is why most VL positions show under all three location categories.
*VL = Volunteer Leadership
Leadership positions require applications or nominations and are filled by appointments or elections. Volunteer Leaders believe deeply in today’s Lehigh and will act as ambassadors for the organization they’re serving and for Lehigh as an institution.
*VA = Volunteer Activity
Participation in activities may require an application, training, or other commitments. Volunteers believe in today’s Lehigh and will work with staff partners to meet the goals of the organization.
