Welcome!

The Office of Equity and Inclusion (OEI) upholds the University’s commitment to justice, equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging by creating a campus community dedicated to inclusive excellence. Through outreach, programming, education, and development, OEI’s goal is to ensure the University’s commitment to diversity is apparent and that Lynchburg is a place where all students, staff, and faculty are welcomed, valued, seen, heard, and respected!

We are located in the Drysdale Student Center, Suite 221 (Flynn Center for Equity and Inclusion), and our office hours are generally 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. We are closed on weekends, but the campus community is invited to use the Center for studying and group meetings.

At the University of Lynchburg, you BELONG! Welcome to the HIVE!
