Board of Trustees

“On behalf of the University of Lynchburg Board of Trustees, I welcome you to our University, renowned for going above and beyond in the preparation of students for the rapidly evolving global marketplace.

While we have met the definition of a university for the past 50 years, we now begin the process of including it in our name. Ever mindful of the signature Lynchburg experience that generations of alumni hold dear, the Board of Trustees remains vigilant on maintaining the vibrant, close-knit community that continues to attract new students and is the source of fond memories for alumni.

Vision 2020+ is the strategic plan that provides the framework that will ensure that this signature Lynchburg experience is available to future generations. Through the three areas of emphasis — Engagement, Facilities/Infrastructure, and Stewardship — our primary aspiration is to be nationally recognized for student engagement in the classroom, athletics, and leadership.

Here at Lynchburg, we are the University that Changes Lives”
