You Are Welcome at Lynchburg

The University of Lynchburg has been a welcoming place for everyone since 1903, and we’re still committed to making our entire community feel like they belong here. Every day, we work hard to make that commitment clear in all we do. Below is our Four P's Framework.

People who help and encourage you

A Place where you belong

A Passion for who you are and what you do

A Purpose that’s uniquely yours

The Dimensions of the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AACU) Framework:

Access and Success: Achieve a student body, faculty, and staff where everyone feels warmly welcomed.
Institutional Climate and Intergroup Relations: Foster a climate that supports people from myriad backgrounds and walks of life.
Education and Scholarship: Engage the community in learning how to make every person feel seen, heard, and valued.
Institutional Infrastructure: Support goals that serve all our university populations through policies and resources.
