Executive Visitors

Founded in 1865, Lehigh University has developed a significant number of viable rewarding, and long-standing partnerships with important leaders in business and industry. During your stay at the Global Village, you will have the opportunity to interact with more than 60 executives who represent large and small corporations, family-owned businesses, start-up companies, and sole proprietorships. These interactions are a key feature of the program.

Through roundtable discussions, Q&A sessions with guest speakers, company tours, and project work, interns are encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities to meet influential executives who will assist them with developing their professional network.
Each week in the Global Village, top-level senior executives visit the program to spend time interacting with interns. During these visits, they meet with small groups of interns for informal discussions about business trends, corporate ventures, career paths, successes and failures, and the future.

More importantly, it is the interns themselves who direct the conversation by asking questions, by raising objections, and by offering alternative points-of-view and the best practices of their respective nations.

Again and again, visiting executives tell us what a rare joy it is to have the opportunity to learn from others as well as to teach from their own experiences.
