Lehigh Valley Social Impact Fellows are a cohort of undergraduate and graduate students who address social and economic challenges in the south Bethlehem community and broader Lehigh Valley region. LVSIFs advance their projects in the Spring and Fall semesters and have the option of working on their project in the summer at Mountaintop. The courses, workshops, retreats, and immersive experiences of this program integrate experiential learning, research, and entrepreneurial engagement with students leading original and ambitious projects with local partners. Projects are mentored by Lehigh faculty with students making substantial intellectual contributions along the way.
