Lehigh University celebrated the 21st anniversary of its United Nations Partnership with a special United Nations Day event showcasing student experiences and global engagement.
The Lehigh University/United Nations (LU/UN) Partnership turned 21 this year, and it marked the occasion with a special campus celebration during United Nations Day.
Several students hosted tables and provided information about their experiences with the LU/UN Partnership over the years during the event, which was held on Friday, Oct. 24, in the lobby of Lehigh’s Business Innovation Building.
“It was such an amazing opportunity,” said Demi Moore ‘27, who served as a U.N. Youth Representative representing the Centre for Women Studies and Intervention in Nigeria.
“Getting my U.N. badge for the first time, going to the headquarters—it is still mind-boggling to me that I am here in Pennsylvania helping advance initiatives that support women all the way in Nigeria, and I’m not sure how many universities can say they offer that opportunity to their students,” Moore said.

The LU/UN Partnership provides opportunities for Lehigh students, faculty, and staff to gain the skills necessary to become successful global leaders by engaging with the United Nations through curricular and co-curricular initiatives.
Each year, the partnership helps more than 1,000 Lehigh faculty, staff, and students attend U.N. conferences, high-level briefings, and private meetings with ambassadors and other U.N. officials.
