Next Steps & Moving Forward

This reimagined one-stop shop combines service-oriented departments into one center so that faculty, staff, and students can find the help they need all in one place. 

Employees will be cross-trained so that anyone can at least triage a student or employee’s question or problem regarding issues such as course scheduling, HR benefits, IT help, parking, student accounts, financial aid, etc.

This exciting initiative brings alumni, employers, and community members together to help students become first-choice applicants for top-notch organizations across the country. Students can leverage the Center to discover their Clifton Strengths, get specialized training through LinkedIn Learning and Duolingo Campus, be matched with an alumni mentor, and take courses through our Professional Development Institute to maximize their professionalism skills. And that's just the beginning...

The University will be partnering with community partners like the Lynchburg Symphony Orchestra, Wolfbane Theater Productions,  Lynchburg Academy of the Arts, and other incredible arts organizations to empower the artist in everyone. 

These expanded opportunities allow our students to perform for public audiences while learning firsthand from professionals in the field.

Members of newly created teams  begin to work together about one day per week, while  closing out their previous roles the rest of the week.

Teams changing location across campus begin their moves.  Renovation begins on locations that need to be updated or reconfigured.

Incoming students are welcomed to New Student Orientation, and high school participants join Summer Scholars programs on campus.

July 1 marks the start of a new fiscal year and a new, reimagined University of Lynchburg. New teams are working together full time now.

Every team receives strategic team-building sessions with The Red Chair Group as well as culture coaching. Establishing strong connections and a healthy culture is critical component of this university transformation.
