When the Alumni Association began in 1877, there were only 281 known graduates from the University. In 2014, there are over 92,000 alumni from both the undergraduate and graduate programs at Lehigh. This dramatic increase in alumni contributes to the overwhelming alumni support in all areas of the University. Alumni remain active with the University by attending events held both on-campus and off-campus and by showing their support for Lehigh through donation and fundraising efforts. Both Lehigh and the Alumni Association have successfully fostered an environment that connects alumni to their Alma Mater for life.
