The Martindale Student Associates enables a select group of 12 Lehigh juniors and seniors--from across Lehigh's four undergraduate colleges--to explore business, economic, social and public policy issues outside their scope of classroom study. Students travel internationally to the place of research and participate in meetings and discussions with thought leaders from government, business, social, academic and research institutions. The 15-month program is fully funded and participants conduct research and write solo-authored academic articles pertaining to the country to become published authors before they graduate.
