This summer Lehigh became an institutional sponsor for the National Humanities Center, allowing our undergraduate students to apply for a place on the National Humanities Leadership Council, which offers professional development and mentorship opportunities. The application period for the 2024—25 is now open!
Council members take part in a unique series of discussion sessions with thought leaders which explore the importance of humanistic perspectives in contemporary society. Selected students will have the opportunity to pursue specific individual or collective humanities projects and will network with professionals who represent a range of fields including academia, nonprofit work, the arts, science communication, museum studies and curation, and activism and advocacy.
Applicants are NOT required to have declared concentrations or majors in humanities fields. The Council is open to any undergraduate students from NHC-sponsoring institutions with an interest in the humanities. Applications will be accepted through October 11, 2024. Student applicants may access the application portal here.
