The IBE Council is a way for IBE students to get involved in giving back to the program. There are five committees, each led by an upperclassman in the program. The five committees are: 

Alumni Relations - Maintains alumni relations by planning alumni panels while ensuring both alumni and students remain connected.

Media and Communications - Responsible for upkeep of the Lehigh IBE program's website, LinkedIn, and social media accounts.

Professional Development - Plans annual career fair working in conjunction with Alumni Relations to pull on program alumni for student networking.

Prospective Students - Crucial in showing prospective students all the IBE program has to offer. Does so through meet and greets as well as annual event in the spring to welcome the newly admitted class

Social - Plans a variety of social events for IBE students to interact and get to know their peers.
