University of Lynchburg

University of Lynchburg Here, you’re home. Recognized as a "College That Changes Lives" U.S. Meanwhile, we’re one of a select few Colleges That Change Lives.

News & World Report and the Princeton Review recognize us as one of the best institutions of higher education in the nation. We were founded in 1903 when a handful of professors instructed fewer than 60 students in the halls of a former resort hotel. There were four people in the first graduating class. Since then, we’ve grown as a community and as a university. We have nearly 3,000 students and m

ore than 20,000 alumni around the world. We evolved from a small liberal arts college to a comprehensive university. At every turn, we ask ourselves: How can we best serve our students? In turn, we ask our students: How can you best serve the world?

This time of year always brings so much excitement and so many new faces! We're especially thrilled to welcome a record-breaking class of Westover Honor Fellows to campus, 107 students strong! 🎉

These new students kicked off their Lynchburg journey with bonding activities led by current Westover students, followed by a ropes course experience with the Outdoor Leadership Program, a great first step in building the friendships and confidence that will carry them through their college years.
