History
Founded in 1903, the University of Lynchburg’s campus history is proof that great things start small—just like acorns before they become mighty oaks, or freshmen before they figure out where their classes are.

Hail, Alma Mater, Lynchburg to thee!
Strong are the principles which founded thee.

University of Lynchburg Fight Song
I’m a Hornet born,
I’m a Hornet bred,
And when I die, I’ll be a Hornet dead.
Rah, rah, O Hornet, Hornet;
Rah, rah, O Hornet, Hornet;
Rah, rah, O Hornet, rah, rah, rah.
Crimson and gray will wave on high,
We’ll win this game today or die.
Rah, rah, O Hornet, Hornet;
Rah, rah, O Hornet, Hornet;
Rah, rah, O Hornet, rah, rah, rah.
