As of June 1, 2024, the Office of Student Development is now University Experience and Student Success (UESS).
At the University of Lynchburg, active participation in academic life is essential to each student’s education. Similarly, active engagement in campus life, out-of-classroom learning opportunities, and recreation are essential to students’ development as individuals, community contributors, and leaders. Consistent with the University’s educational mission, the offices of University Experience and Student Success promote student success through engaged co-curricular learning and by fostering an inclusive, dynamic campus community.
University Experience and Student Success offers diverse opportunities for students to engage in campus life and to experience self-discovery and personal development. Through on-campus living, cultural and social activities, membership in clubs and organizations, community service, intramural and club sports, spiritual life activities, and promotion of personal wellness, students enhance their intellectual abilities, physical and mental well-being, teamwork, inclusion, communication and leadership skills, commitment to community engagement, and readiness to achieve personal and career goals.
University Experience and Student Success staff endeavor to enhance campus life and students’ University experiences in three primary areas:
- Community Development
- Student Support
- Belonging
Community Development
Community Development provides transformative experiences through active living-learning opportunities in the University’s varied on-campus residential facilities for undergraduate students. Community Development also includes intentional engagement on campus, as well as upholding community expectations through personal responsibility and accountability, conflict resolution, and reparation of harm caused to the community.
