Congratulations to all our master's and doctoral graduates! 🥳.

“You carry with you the strong imprint of this University. Even if your undergraduate degree was earned elsewhere, you are now a full-fledged Hornet. We dream about your future along with you and we look forward to your successes. Be proud of your accomplishment and be confident in how far you can go.” — Julius Sigler ’62, speaking at the master's ceremony on Friday 🎓

We kicked off Commencement week at Lynchburg with the Donning of the Kente ceremony! The ceremony celebrates graduating seniors who recognize and honor their African roots.
The ceremony itself has a long history. The American tradition started in the 20th century, and the Kente cloth has been around for centuries. At this ceremony, students don Kente cloth and celebrate with family, friends, and colleagues. Graduates also receive stoles that can be worn at the University’s Commencement ceremonies.

Congratulations to Ryan Smith ’22! He interned with a forestry company two years ago and was offered a permanent position with them post-graduation. 👏

Ryan is an environmental science major from North Chesterfield, Virginia.

“An interesting thing that people do not know about me is that I have a passion for history and I have a pretty big collection of 17th- to 18th-century artifacts that I have found as a side hobby when I am not in school,” he says. Cool!

3 days until Commencement 🥳 *** Taylor Meadows

3 days until Commencement 🥳
***
Taylor Meadows ’22 is a psychology major, vice president of Lynchburg Cheer, and treasurer of Psi Chi — the international psychology honor society. She is also a lab assistant in the psychology department. Taylor recently completed a double-interview process to be hired as a camp counselor at an all-girls soccer summer camp in Massachusetts. She will go there before returning to Lynchburg to pursue her master's degree in counseling.
Her favorite thing about Lynchburg? The sunsets!

“I love being able to walk out of my house on Southside or walk on the Dell and see the beautiful sunsets behind the mountains,” she says. “I wholeheartedly believe that the professors here want you to succeed and find what you’re passionate about. With cheerleading and having the same people in the classes for my major — and the classes being so small once you get into your major classes — I have definitely made lifelong friends.”

How often do you see the VP of business and finance make pancakes? Or a dining services employee dressed up as Mr. Bacon? 🤣 Only at Lynchburg's Late Night Breakfast during exam week.

Christian Kumar ’22 is one of our students you see everywhere! An exercise physiology major, he’s the captain of the men’s tennis team, concertmaster of the Wind Symphony and Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra, and a Westover Honors Fellow. He’s also a member of the Westover Executive Board and a student research assistant with the University of Lynchburg Active Aging Program.

But, he is also a huge Eagles and Sixers fan! Christian has lived in Lynchburg his entire life and can speak Tamil (a language in Southern India). Plus, he’s getting married to his college sweetheart Lizzie Davis ’22 in June. Congrats! 😍

“When I think of Lynchburg, I think of the words ‘home’ and ‘family.’ The city of Lynchburg has been my home for the last 22 years and the University has been my home for the last four years,” he says. “I couldn’t be more thankful for such an amazing institution. What also makes this institution unique is the family aspect of the student body. It’s such an amazing opportunity to be a part of such a strong, tight-knit community here. I have enjoyed my time here and will always keep the University of Lynchburg and its community in a special place in my heart.” ❤️
