So here, you’ll find ways to connect to other students through clubs and activities, to alumni and professional mentors through our Center for Career Engagement Opportunities (C.E.O.), or to your own potential through a Clifton Strengths assessment.

Innovative. Authentic. Welcoming.

At the University of Lynchburg, we’re on a mission to inspire independent thinkers to become trustworthy, effective leaders who shape caring communities. Why? Because we have a vision to cultivate a world that is innovative, authentic, and welcoming to everyone.

Innovative because we’re determined to find NEW solutions to both OLD and NEW problems.

Authentic because bringing your real self to your work and your relationships makes a powerful impact on our culture

Welcoming because we believe everyone should not just be invited to the dance — everyone should be invited to dance.

Our focus on creative problem-solving, leadership development, and belonging isn’t just about preparing you for the world — it’s about preparing the world for future generations like you.
