“I just want to tell whoever is reading this that if you’re ever wondering, ‘Should I join this?’ or ‘Should I try that?’, remember that college is the place for you to grow, to have fun, and to have the resources to help you get back on your feet when you can’t do it on your own. Instead of ‘Should I?’ ask ‘Why not?’”

“I realized Lynchburg was right for me the day I shadowed a class. I walked in not knowing many people, and left with new friends and a realization that I had found a place where I could be myself and feel at home.”
Valeria Rojo ’20
“What I enjoyed the most about Lynchburg is the closeness of the students with their professors. Since the classes are so small, it requires more participation between the students and the faculty. I can relate and have more intimate conversations with my professors, which allows me to learn better.”
Victoria Mason ’20
“Lynchburg provided me with many opportunities to get out in the community and interact with local students. It allowed me to take part in diverse situations on subjects, grade levels, and students with various needs. The education department helped me focus on my talents to be the best teacher I can be for my students.”
Jackie Villanueva ’23
“I can walk on campus and say hi to my professors from my first year. Now that I’m transitioning into … graduating and becoming an alumni, knowing that I still have that connection with my first-year professors, it’s kind of incredible.”
Rachel Parent ’21
“As a first-generation college student, I was not sure what exactly college would be like. I had a very basic understanding of what I wanted to do, so knowing this about myself, I went into college wanting to pursue those curiosities.”
Dylan Schumacher ’20
“A competition for any subject matter is a great way to test your respective skill set. Winning proves a person has adequately prepared while losing displays what … needs improvement.”
Rob Wittstadt ’07
“If I hadn’t attended Lynchburg, I would not have been exposed to such a wide range of academics and would not be working in the field I am today.”
Claudio Otero III ’20, ’22 MEd
“I’m super excited to start this program, as it’s a new chapter in my life — a chapter of growth, development, and new beginnings.”
